the agriculture industry cant survive without illegals, nobody else is willing to pick those crops

thankfully in cali were turning into a sanctuary state so our food prices should stay the same but outside of cali ya'll about to pay 10 bucks for a apple
Nah they'll start locking up illegals and making them farm the land for a reduced sentence

So now we're calling illegal immigrants slaves now? Y'all do realize the major distinction between them and slaves. :francis:

They are modern day slaves. People don't want to admit it, because they are to invested in the bullshyt concepts of migrants, free trade and all of that shyt. Watch this video on the cocoa farms in Ivory Coast and watch how the farmers in Ivory Coast utilize migrants from Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger. How is that any different than how the traffickers (coyotes) are smuggling migrants into the USA from Mexico and Guatemala.



In America they call what is going on in Ivory Coast slavery. In America is called free enterprise.

They aren't slaves because they are free to leave. There are legitimate gripes about the lack of rights, low wages and substandard working conditions.:yeshrug:

Immigrant 'Stash Houses' Thrive Along Texas-Mexico Border
Some Smugglers Cram 100 or More Migrants Into a Decrepit House

"...Human smuggling is nothing new along the U.S.-Mexico boundary, but federal, state and local officials report a rise in Texas in recent months, as thousands of Central Americans sneak into the country—including many unaccompanied children. The migrants are overwhelming authorities along the Rio Grande.

The criminal networks being uncovered in Texas involve large groups of immigrants—and increasingly brazen smugglers. They often hold migrants hostage and threaten them with brutality if their friends or relatives don't produce extra money to release them, authorities said. Sometime, they kidnap migrants from rival smuggling gangs.

Earlier this month, San Juan police found 43 people trapped inside one suspected stash house. The migrants claimed that their captors threatened to electrocute them if they tried to escape, according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court... ."

You're reaching. These people aren't slaves to the farmers or their jobs. They're slaves to their coyotes again many of these people put themselves (albeit unknowingly) when attempting to cross the boarder illegally.

Sounds like a Mexico problem to me. :yeshrug:
