"going to do jobs that Americans won't do" ...........Someone needs to tell the President that the American people don't EVER want to hear those words come out of his mouth again! ......... If someone from the White House reads this forum, then they need to get the word back to the WH---Scrub that hateful phrase from the President's rhetoric ..........Yes, I think he should avoid that phrase. I really think there are Americans who will do the tougher work.

As such, yes, I look at that as a modern form of slavery.
In an alternate universe the South set the slaves free as it was demanded they do...and then they hired them back for a pittance and let them fend for themselves for everything else.

Sad, really. They are going to do the Left's bidding now I guess.

But it was the immigration debate, which has dominated the U.S. Senate this week, that took center stage in talks conducted in a beachfront resort surrounded by bikini-clad spring breakers. Nero played the violin while Rome burned.

And that, folks, is the replacement for the whip-wielding overseer: work for me, as long and hard as I tell you, for whatever I feel like paying you, or your family will starve. In some ways, modern slavery is worse than what we abolished 150 years ago. You're friggin' nuts!
None of these illegals is forced to stay here.
The truth is, whatever they're making here is likely three or four times more than they were paid in Mexico.
Which is why they've come in the first place.
Comparing this to slavery is pure demagoguery.

Why this issue?
It's a bigger picture thing.
It started a long time ago with FRee trade and eliminating the need for borders, tariffs, etc and instilling a spirit of cooperativeness globally between nations..
It has now progressed into the final Globalist phase which is meant to strip mostly free nations of their self-control and sovereignty and ability to compete fairly on an open playing field.
The end goal is complete domination of all trade and financial markets globally by a few for the "betterment" of all but only on the terms of the few who are the 'ruling elite'. Presidents and Chancellors may come and go but the 'elite' reign from behind the scenes, as much out of view as possible.

""Modern" form of slavery is NOT what you said, sir."
Slavery is slavery, whatever its precise form and point in time. I consider the modern form to be as detestable and morally bankrupt (if not more so) than the classical form.

We (the american public) are being pushed in that direction.
No one is buying the idea that in today's difficult jobs environment it is a good idea to give 500,000 tech jobs to Indians via an increase in H1B visas.
What do the Davos Convervatives try to sell us? That losing you job is a good thing! Hah!
There is a huge disconnect between what is good for an executive's pocketbook and what is good for the typcial Americans' pocketbook.

Worth repeating.If you think that's worth repeating you must not be familiar with Marxism.

Someday, a scholar may write a book called, "The Rise and Fall of the American Empire." The Romans never realized what destroyed them before it was too late.

FR is drifting to the far-right, towards protectionism and isolationism.Mischaracterising people's opposition to an illegal invasion by people who openly state what their aims are is nothing more or less than lying.

PLYLER v. DOE, 457 U.S. 202 (1982)
The illegal aliens who are plaintiffs in these cases challenging the statute may claim the benefit of the Equal Protection Clause, which provides that no State shall "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." Whatever his status under the immigration laws, an alien is a "person" in any ordinary sense of that term. This Court's prior cases recognizing that illegal aliens are "persons" protected by the Due Process Clauses of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, which Clauses do not include the phrase "within its jurisdiction," cannot be distinguished on the asserted ground that persons who have entered the country illegally are not "within the jurisdiction" of a State even if they are present within its boundaries and subject to its laws. Nor do the logic and history of the Fourteenth Amendment support such a construction. Instead, use of the phrase "within its jurisdiction" confirms the understanding that the Fourteenth Amendment's protection extends to anyone, citizen or stranger, who is subject to the laws of a State, and reaches into every corner of a State's territory.

That remains to be seen...
