h2a guest visa exploitation-- if you dont stay working for the employer that sponsored the visa the visa is lost effectively forcing them to work at that exploitative location.

under the trump admin when things like this were discovered they went after the employees

biden admin is going after the recruiters and employers.

this is maybe one of the worst things ive heard of in the states-- modern day slavery. how much of this is going on and does not get found out and why tf is any admin going after the employees rather than the employers or even going after both?

here is a link to the original article

also any position on the slavery or do you just want to defend daddy? or maybe its like your take on the cop who shot a 70 year old crippled man in the back and you think they deserve it?

lol.

Is there maybe a better source?
The story is far from unbelievable - but Kyle Kulinski's an unreliable commentator. I don't think he's knowingly dishonest, but he's often got a very poor grasp of the topics he covers.

From the look of it, this has been going on for about 10 years. And "past administrations" have gone after workers rather than employers - so, that's not just a complaint about Trump, as Biden also served in one of those past administration.
Also, Operation Blooming Onion - the operation of which this event was a part - was instituted by agencies including ICE in 2018, under Trump.

Which Georgia? The state? Possible nowadays.

These types of operations have been going on for longer than you think. I believe tyson chicken even used illegal labor back in the day, and were eventually caught.

But something about this particular article seems off, It's a little difficult for me to find these claims detailed anywhere else

Some thoughts on the topic of slavery and history. A little off topic bit...oh well.

After having researched my lineage a few years back I got into the practice of perusing through old newspaper archives as a form of personal research into various topics. Nothing like reading the contemporary views of actual people from the time. One of those topics is slavery.

One thing I have found interesting is that many 'free' white people in the early to mid 1800s considered themselves slaves. They considered the wage system to be a form of slavery even worse than that of chattel slavery. They would argue that the chattel slaves were at least given basic provisions. And due to the social norms of the time, according to these folks, granted the average slave a degree of protection from abuse and mistreatment(yes there were 'SJWs' in the 1800s). To the contrary the average poor white person being responsible for his own food, clothing, and shelter while also having no means to gain and own land meant they were forced to sell their bodies and their labor to these employers(ie masters) for very little pay and without the social norms protecting them from abuse and mistreatment. To not sell yourself to an employer/master meant you couldn't survive.

Im not sure I agree with all of these sentiments but I do understand them and find them enlightening. Reading about this common plight for 'free' Americans of time has given me a greater appreciation for some of the labor laws, unions, and what not that grew out of all this.

A completely capitalist economy with no protection for the worker and no responsibility toward society on the part of employers and corporations does indeed result in a form of slavery for the average person. The only problem is that the solutions to this problem can quickly roll into socialism and/or communism thereby creating an even worse problem.

The second link is the original article. Kyle gets things wrong but in this case his segment is taken largely from the original article. It is strange that this is not being reported on more widely but.then again our media is pretty selective in its coverage.

"Human trafficking, forced labor charges are first under ICE’s new labor exploitation program focusing on abusive employers
WASHINGTON – A newly unsealed indictment charging 24 individuals with labor trafficking of Mexican and Central American workers under brutal conditions on South Georgia farms is the first investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) under the new labor exploitation model.

As directed by the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), ICE has ended mass work enforcement operations, where the threat of arrest and deportation has long been used by exploitative employers to suppress and retaliate against workers’ assertion of labor laws."

"Exploitation of the workers included being required to dig onions with their bare hands, paid 20 cents for each bucket harvested, and threatened with guns and violence to keep them in line. The workers were held in cramped, unsanitary quarters and fenced work camps with little or no food, limited plumbing and without safe water. The conspirators are accused of raping, kidnapping and threatening or attempting to kill some of the workers or their families, and in many cases sold or traded the workers to other conspirators. At least two of the workers died as a result of workplace conditions."

A yearslong human trafficking operation trapped migrant workers in “modern-day slavery” on South Georgia farms, according to a federal indictment unsealed last week.

The unsealed indictement from the US Dept. of Justice is below. Go to page 5 for the nitty gritty

I think we all had the inclination that human trafficking like this was taking place here and ther. The difference between America and places like UAE, Saudi, Qatar is that the US government is not a aiding and abetting the human trafficers . When out government discovers such stuff, it goes after the perpertrators. In the Gulf, the governments go after activists who try to bring attention to the human rights violations.

We need to abolish ICE once and for all. How else are people going to get slave workers?

Lol, next level TDS in this thread.

So this shows the open border leads to human trafficking and slave labor? Let's secure the border y'all!!

According to kalinski the Biden administration is the 1st administration in the last number of years that actually went after the employers. Before that we were only going after the employees.


This has been a pet peeve of mine for many many years in years in other semi related cases of exploitation of illegal immigrants. I've always thought that going after the immigrants was inefficient and stupid we already know which industries employ these people and if we went after the leaders of the industry we could make a much bigger difference.

These people were sponsored into the country through legal visas it is Americans who brought them in illegally to force labor out of them but the visas are legal. In this case there is no way to blame it on the immigrants who thought they were coming over legally and in good conscience.
