They can just go home and stay there.

I’m sure that the suit is baseless, but if they’re being fed, they should earn it.

Being forced to clean up after their own nasty asses is NOT slave labor.

Class action, like who are they suing? I mean these people aren’t even citizens. And exactly how do you force someone to work for $1. I mean if you’re confined to a plantation under armed guard ok, but otherwise how?

Herding people into these Farm or other menial work buses and housing them in basically slave quarters, removing them from all workers’ rights, and knowing they owe a ton of money to the coyotes, paying them peanuts, IS SLAVERY LITE. Not to speak of the actual enslavement of young Mexican girls brought here by slavers, kept under lock, and brought around to farms and factories for illegals to “use.”

It is a human rights reason why we must stop importing poor workers and exploiting them. We have plenty of other reasons; this one is completely ignored by the left.

So, six were selected every day to clean up the mess everyone made. What’s so bad about that? They wanted room service?

So, ICE arrested hapless Juan Carlos? Not to worry. He’ll be back within a week heading for a sanctuary city to commit more crimes on unsuspecting victims.
