slavery in the world is a huge problem. I personally know of a slave (been sent to this country from china, forced to work in a sweatshop in chinatown, ny to pay off her "debt" of costing her to relocate to this country.
she is only 17. the cops cant do anything, they know if it. the organization is too large and she afraid to say anything cause they can and probably will kill her family back home.
to stop slavery we need to take out the slave traders not those who employ/use the slaves. this is a bigger problem than we think. |

On that note you have given the perfect reason to secure our borders and stop the influx of illegal aliens. If we completely stop them from coming in then they will not be subject to "what you call slavery".
When you stop using all products that come to you as a result of Mexican labor you can then declare yourself, not a hypocrite, until then in my opinion you are one. |

I thought slavery meant you took ownership of another human being. Americans don't want illegals so it's not slavery. Turn your computer off and get to school before your Mommy catches you. |

Then go back to Mexico where you can be a slave AND not get paid anything. Why do they all want to come here? Because they do better here than in Mexico. Dont worry though,I will pay my taxes so all the Mexican illegals can have welfare, free doctors, etc. Oh its SOO Bad isnt it? |

The illegals are criminals not slaves and they are very free to leave. We do however have a problem with slavery in this country and this condition was created by democrats who have made a race of people believe there only requirement in life is to live off of social programs. Those are the true slaves. |

> Willing slaves from Mexico...
There is no such thing as "willing slaves" . It is nonses. The meaning of the word slave is a person, who is being forced, against his will. |

if nobody will encourage people to stop it, then be patient to wait for that time, coz it's going to be a very very very long wait for that, and some are willing to be one out of desperation...we'll never know when |

If they were legal, there would be no problems. |

Proud to be an AMERICAN

Interesting question! We keep hearing that illegals will do the jobs Americans won't. That is NOT true! Americans work ALL of the jobs illegal immigrants do - but for better wages.
All this "immigrant rights/civil rights" talk is in my opinion a SMOKESCREEN for corporate welfare of the worst kind! illegal immigration is a back-door way to repeal the minmum wage, or at the very least to lower all wages. And the bleeding hearts who want to let more in don't see that they are being duped into supporting it.
Thanks for giving me an opportunity to vent! |

it's not slave labor because they are being paid. slavery is for free. also, they aren't usually beaten and tortured like slaves were. these people aren't legal citizens either. they don't have the same rights as us. if they get paid below minimum wage for a job that no American wants to do, then that's good, because they're going the job. |

When welfare ceases to exist.
Right now, I am a slave for about 1 workday a week, with someone else benefitting from my labor. This slavery is done via government welfare programs, where I am forced to work to put food on others' tables, pay their medical bills, put a roof over their heads, etc.
This is the very definition of slavery. Open your eyes! Forced 'charity' is not charity. It is theft and slavery. |

Since when do "slaves" get paid, and free medical care, schooling, welfare etc., etc., ect.? Or maybe you were talking about, in you own inept way, Wal-Mart. |

These illegals have put themselves in the situation themselves allowing for lower wages to be offered. There is no slave labor. Only what they are used to getting is a lot less and they seem greatful for the most part to be getting what they are here. They came here without permission, are using up benefits illegally, draining our resources for health and welfare. You have the audacity to take up for them when they are robbing our system |

You are too much of a bleeding heart. There is no slaves unless you are willing to let yourself be treated as one. |

Slavery (I believe) is defined as forced servitude (labor). The amount of compensation for services rendered is not a factor. I.E. There have been cases of slaves who were paid and there are many cases where "free" people have worked without any compensation at all.
Thus the criteria for slavery hinges upon the issue of free will. While there are occasional cases of this happening in the US, I would say they are rather rare and usually the guilty party is prosecuted. |

fairly smart

If they are working here & living here illegally, I don't care. Get them out so we can take care of business! |

The illegals thaat were working in the factory that I work in were paid the same amount as I was. They have been deported and the jobs have been filled with legal citizens. It was only 68 of them but you have to start somewhere. |

No, we as Americans are entitled to cheap slave labor as well as no illegal immigrants in OUR country.
I was born in the US, damnit, so I am better than everyone else. |
