Got Tomatoes
The article about the tomato picking slaves is unreal. I can not believe that kind of thing goes on in the U.S.A. It does not matter who you are you do not deserve to be treated like Lucas was. I mean being beaten, threatened and then to be put in such terrible living conditions is completely inhumane. On the other hand, I think this is one of the more extreme cases and I am going to bet that there are many happy illegal immigrates making less then minimum wage picking tomatoes. The article brings up some good points but some things are ridicules. For instance the slaves who are illegal immigrants do not get medical care. Well that’s too bad because many American citizens do not even get medical. How injured are you really going to get picking tomatoes? A sore back and a few scratches just like any American citizen farmer.

This is a great example: "I can not believe that kind of thing goes on in the U.S.A. It does not matter who you are you do not deserve to be treated like Lucas was." Yes, this is surely true. No one deserve to be treated in any ways. We are all human and deserve to have freedom. And I also enjoyed reading when you mention about "slaves" and American citizens might or might not have medical care. However, it is tough not having to have a medical care...
