It's marvelous that finaly, America has woken up and discoverd that there has been a vast invasion from the south by hordes of Mexicans, and even more dangerous Central Americans. These invaders flood across our borders to kill and rape and take our jobs.
But how would you feel if you were legal, and had paid dearly for your visa and discovered the promise was a lie?
More than 30 Mexican nationals who entered the country on H2B visas were kidnapped in Pascagoula, Mississippi by Captain George Tillman of the Pascagoula police department and a US labor recruiter.
How about if you were told that you were owned?
On the night of August 2, 2007, Captain George Tillman of the Pascagoula Police Department arrived at our doorstep in uniform, with his badge and gun. He was accompanied by another officer and the recruiter from Black Hawk. Tillman told us that the recruiter from Black Hawk was our "owner," and that we had to go with him. He said that if we didn't, we would face prison and deportation.
These legal workers left their jobs when the found out that they weren't getting paid what was promissed and they were forced to work in dangerous conditions and the head cop told them that they were owned and the should get back to work. I want to repeat: these men are legal immigrants on legal visas and treated like slaves. Allegedly, they were told that they were slaves, and I think they are probably telling the truth.

"
I am a guestworker and I know the realities of the H2B visa," said Castellanos. "We are brought here on false promises. Our members report being sold, being kidnapped, being told they are owned. Meanwhile survivors of Katrina and Rita are still shut out of work two years later. The federal government is allowing this. They’ve traded the old slaves for new slaves."
