Price of tomatoes
Of course cruelty, maltreatment, and "slavery" is unacceptable. That being said: If someone illegally migrates to this country to work, then works illegally - it puts them into a completely different level of what is fair or not. Obviously whatever country they are migrating from has zero opportunity for them, and just having the opportunity to work is huge. Poverty level in the U.S.A can be considered rich in many other places in the world. Also by working illegally, the migrants are creating their own problems, as well as taking work away from legal citizens that are unemployed. If these "slave" owners did not have these people to exploit, they would have to pay decent wages and provide acceptable living conditions.

I like your thoughts about the slaves. I think you made a valid point about how illegal workers create problems by taking away jobs from American citizens.
I disagree with your statement on the illegal immigrants. I don’t think it matters if they are illegal or not. They are still human beings and deserve the same level of fairness as the rest. I never understood the statement of taking jobs for legal citizens. I never heard or seen any Americans standing at that bus stop waiting for a job opportunity with them. Fact is, the illegal immigrants do it because no one else will. Also, just because some levels of poverty here aren’t as bad, doesn’t mean it is acceptable here. They are coming here to get away from that treatment. I believe they are just doing what they can to help their family and should be treated with the same amount of respect we give Americans.
