Slavery Still Exists
Americans need to wake up and realize that Slavery still exists today - and we all are enjoying the consequences of it. It happens each time you order your hamburger, or taco or any other food. I know this for sure because I used to be a tomato picker in Immokalee, Florida myself. I saw first hand how some crewleaders (bosses) tried to take advantage of my people. I just happened to know a thing or two about civil rights and the constitution. I quickly made them change their mind - but what about the million other times when nobody spoke back? What would happen then? Well, let me tell you - slavery, inhumane treatment, torture, even murder is happening today, and most of the time it goes unnoticed. Why? Because this government cares more about building a wall at the Mexican border than helping out the Mexicans (and other Hispanic people) who are working hard to help this economy. Government tries to tell us that they are a menace to society, that they don't pay taxes, that they don't help our society. Yet, they go get their clothes dry cleaned, eat at fancy restaurants, get their grass mowed, and their cars washed....by MEXICANS. But, this is just the beginning. Take a look at what is happening in Immokalee, FL. There have been several arrests and convictions of slavery, felonies, and even murder by those in power. Next time you eat that tomato in your hamburger, think about what it took to get it there. Read the following articles to find out about modern-day slavery: Slavery Website. By the way, all Mexicans buy food/goods at stores (they pay taxes), they can't file for Income taxes even though 99% of them would be owed taxes by the IRS (USA pockets this money). Mexicans don't get Social security, medical, dental, 401K, pension...etc. (USA keeps this money) USA gets manpower for pennies on the dollar. Do you really think that USA will be better off by stopping Immigration???
