Reply #3: Don't worry Joshua, you'll get your "comprehensive immigration reform"

[Hello_Kitty]

Big Bidness and the Chamber of Commerce with their bought off "think tanks" are all over it. Trust me, it won't be long before major low wage employers get all the slaves uh I mean workers with an "innately strong work ethic" that they need.

Here's an example of just how well it will work:

n his testimony, Aby K. Raju recounted the exploitation he and 500 other workers suffered after they were trafficked from India in order to work for Signal International doing welding, pipe-fitting and other work.

Raju said that many workers paid exorbitant fees to the company’s recruiters and then were subjected to intimidation when their documents were seized and they were forced to live in labor camps in Mississippi and Texas.

He said conditions were so harsh that one guestworker attempted suicide. Others were detained and interrogated for speaking out against the conditions in which they were forced to work.

I mean, I'm so sure the CATO Institute is deeply concerned with the plight of mistreated guest workers and will do its utmost to ensure that the treatment of workers will be at the forefront of any "comprehensive immigration reform". :eyes:

I await being attacked and called a xenophobe because I object to legalized slavery.
