I see that no one touched this topic, and that's fine. I think this is a topic that needs attention, and so:

The Southern Poverty Law Center, based in Montgomery, Ala., said foreigners hired through programs for farm and non-farm laborers work in conditions akin to indentured servitude.
Rights group raps guestworker programs - Race & Ethnicity - MSNBC.com

Comprehensive Immigration Reform is code words for =SLAVERY and CHEAP LABOR.
CREOLE FOLKS: Democrats,Corporations & Bush- Push to start modern slave trade via Guest Worker Program. by Ted Duplessis

It's time we did something about this, so quit ignoring it. We've got these people here, in our country, keeping food on our tables, and sweeping the issue under the rug doesn't make it go away.
Our Task must be to free ourselves... by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures, the whole of nature, and its beauty.
