Apparently, these illegals do not understand what the English words ‘enslave’ and ‘kidnap’ mean.

Is it just me, or does this tale of enslavement sound a little bit too much like a LAW & ORDER episode?

It was just a small failure to communicate.

LOL, I don’t remember a particular episode; I just mean it sounds a bit too much like a TV show. I don’t doubt that there are people who take severe advantage of people, but this one just doesn’t pass the smell test.

Were the Mexican Nationals here legally or were they in the commission of a crime when they were arrested?

Except that there's not a word about anything that could possibly constitute enslavement anywhere in the alleged victims' account. They were given a choice, go with the employer that your visas are based on or be deported. Apparently they turned down deportation. From their account, it appears they promptly departed to an "undisclosed location" where they have been unemployed, before anyone had a chance to even ask them to perform any work. Since they are not working for the employer specified on their visas, they are now living here illegally, even though they had the option to live and work here legally. They're illegals now, and should be sent home.

They were here legally but apparently there was some confusion regarding who they worked for.

However, if they were uncooperative with the authorities attempts to sort through the confusion I would think they would be running the risk of having their H2B status revoked.

Since when do the cops do work like this? Getting involved in a labour dispute? Something here stinks.

Actually, not to put to fine a point on it…..

These were legal non-immigrants
