But the problem here seems to be a lack of oversight and probably a lack of information given to the visa holders about their rights. It might help if there are interviews with visa holders (in their native languages if possible) to explain to them that their employer does not have the right to confiscate their passport. There should also be an agency they can contact if they are being abused and said agency should also run regular checks on employers to ensure that they are abiding by the rules.
Also, there's lots of slavery in the USA. What do you think prison labour is?

The work visas are tied to employment, H1-b's for example. I have found the situation similar in other countries, when I was considering working as an ex-pat my company had to sponsor my application for a work visa.
Was it similar for you?

Nope. This is pure big business spin. I've done payroll for farmers, they never express it this way. They say the same thing medical offices and such say about their cleaning staff...Saiwania wrote:Americans can't be found to do the work or don't want to-

If the victims know they can go to the authorities without any risk of deportation, then these modern slavers will be more easily found out.
In this case they could have they were here legally.
And yes they should sue the crap out of the slavers after the criminal cases are done.

I heard that over and over and over and over dealing with payroll in the south. Sigh. It's all about business people from the boomer generation trying to continue to pay people what they paid people when they first started their business. Really messed up situation.

Stealing the majority of the wealth generated by the workers is a hell of a drug.

No, it’s laissez-faire capitalists , whom have been on the right for last hundred years or so that enable this type of exploitation.

On this issue in the U.S. it is strictly a left wing position that we need unlimited immigration into the US to do the jobs "Americans won't do" for peanuts.
It is also strictly a left wing position that it is society's responsibility then to pay for food/housing/healthcare of any children they have after they get here as well,
creating even worse incentives in the system (poor immigrants get rewarded for having large numbers of children,
employers don't feel consequences of inexcusably low wages).
None of this is a capitalist problem,
this is a left wing government action problem.

The H2-A program is next on the abolition list. The only reason is a sick fuck would justify these programs is because they think our economy would collapse without cheap avocados.
