The unusual lawsuit by undocumented immigrants

You need to get past the title and the first paragraph before you get to the REAL part of the story here. On a lighter note, they've finally figured out the American way...sue, sue, sue.

Expect more of this in Sancuary City, that is New Haven.

You’re automatically awarded citizenship once you file your first personal injury law-suit, aren’t you?

What are the benefits of an illegal alien workforce if we can’t beat, humiliate and exploit them?

This is GREAT news.

Once employers realize they’re going to be screwed by illegals anyway, they’ll stop hiring them.

The undocumented Equadorian immgrants are a family. The owner and his wife are the owners. Heaven forbid they be referred to as a family.

About all you have to do to hit the big time, is gain employment at a U.S. business, hire an attorney, and demand compensation.

The owners made one major mistake. They hired the illegals. Once they did, they were in jeopardy. Good luck, because they’re going to need it.

As illegal immigrants, they don’t have rights to claim a fair wage. Their big lie is that U.S. workers won’t do the work. No they won’t for dirt wages. And the Equadorians said they would. End of story.

It serves him right for hiring illegals.

Unfortunately, it's about gotten to the point that when I see immigrant in a news article, I'm sure it's an illegal alien.

After reading this headline, I assumed the article was about illegal aliens, and then . . . lo and behold!

Another problem with hiring Illegals. Not all business’ just want to pay the low wages, but also want to enslave these people. It’s bad all the way around. Why can’t people see this on the left?

TRAFFICKING VICTIMS PROTECTION ACT OF 2000

http://www.acf.hhs.gov/trafficking/about/TVPA_2000.html

Protection and assistance for victims of trafficking under the law include making housing, educational, health care, job training and other Federally-funded social service programs available to assist victims in rebuilding their lives. The law also established the T visa, which allows victims of trafficking to become temporary residents of the U.S. The TVPA authorizes up to 5,000 victims of trafficking each year to receive permanent residence status after three years from issuance of their temporary residency visas. The T visa signifies a shift in the immigration law policy, which previously resulted in many victims being deported as illegal aliens. The law also makes victims of trafficking eligible for the Witness Protection Program.

The law makes victims of trafficking eligible for benefits and services under Federal or state programs once they become certified by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Adult trafficking victims must be certified as a pre-condition for their eligibility for benefits and services. Once certified, they will be eligible to apply for benefits and services under any Federal or state funded programs, to the same extent as refugees including refugee cash, medical assistance and social services. Victims under the age of 18 do not need to be certified. HHS issues these victims letters of eligibility so that providers know these victims are eligible for services and benefits.

Victims of human trafficking who are non-U.S. citizens are eligible to receive benefits and services through the TVPA to the same extent as refugees. Victims who are U.S. citizens do not need to be certified by HHS to receive benefits; as U.S. citizens, they are eligible for many benefits.

Let’s hope the “Rocco’s” family has to pay $1 million to the illegals. That will send a shockwave through the city.

Frankly, I have no problem with it.

If the Federal Government won’t prosecute the slave labor loving employers of illegal aliens, let the illegal aliens do ‘it’.....Then deport them.

Illegal aliens, just doing the job the Federal Government won’t.

Actually if the employer has illegals there he should be in jail and the illegals deported.

A family of Ecuadorean immigrants has filed a federal lawsuit accusing
the owners of a New Haven bakery shop where they worked of sexually
and verbally abusing them for years.


I'd love to hear a daring defense lawyer handle this when
cross-examining one of the plaintiffs:
"So, the reason you stuck around my client's busines FOR YEARS,
was that you were into being verbally and sexually abused,
ISN'T THAT TRUE?
You thought you'd hit the trifecta: living in America, getting
your buzz from verbal and sexual abuse AND getting paid for it!"

If they are here illegally deport the entire family and for the lawsuit set up a VOIP and video feed to the court house. Let them have their day in court from the comfort and safety of their country. Any winnings of this lawsuit should be fully taxed and the owner if found guilty should lose his business and all personnel property also.
