Why I support Guest Worker Program.

[primative1]

This is a hypothetical plan designed around how our american sugar and lumber facilities actualy operates today. I am just so thrilled at the concept of seeing it expanded.

I have a plan to start an apple orchard. To prosper though, I will need 50 workers to work for me 12 hours a day at minimum wage (12x7x5$=420/wk) and as it is unlikely that I will be able to find these workers localy on such short notice I would like to have a shipment of these workers provided to me from Haiti (companies actualy do this).
As these workers will be new to America I will, out of compasion and for the reasonable fee of 1000 per month which is the fair local price, house them in shacks on my property. I will also provide that they be fed at the reasonable fee of 20$ per day and all transportation will be provided by me at no charge.
This will be a wonderful opportunity for my guests.
In the two months that our guests will be here they will be granted the opportunity to experience america by earning fair wage in a free and democratic society and after 2 months of employ they will get to return home with 160 dollars which they can invest in the community.(3360-3200). New jobs for a new america. In the old days they called that slavery.

1. If we raised the minimum wage, allowed Unions the right to unionize again,

and did honestly have a guest worker program that was "real" it would help everyone. But if the minimum is not raised, the guest workers will be slave labor and just lower the wages of Citizens even more than they are dropping now.

2. This has nothing to do with it ...

They actualy have set up the equivalant of internment camps. Whatever you pay them they have no choice but to pay back at the "company store". If you wake up one fine morn 10 miles outside of Okeechobee you may not be a prisoner but where do you go? It is SLAVE LABOR.
