Why are liberals so shocked? They're the ones who think illegal immigration doesn't harm any one, not even the people who are its primary victims, namely the illegal aliens themselves.

Paging President Bush, please pick up the white courtesy phone in the lobby...


Pretty sick.

None of these neighbors wondered about 30 people living in onehouse? Or maybe one of them did wonder and dropped the dime on the perps.

Now, put the perps in jail and send the illegals home. Possibly auctioning off the smugglers property to refund the illegals their hard earned money.

Cruel smugglers masquerading as a suburban Long Island family held dozens of illegal aliens as virtual slaves, seizing their wages and forcing them to live in squalor, officials said yesterday.

"Ibanez deducted the cost of room, board, transportation and repayment of the visa fee . . . leaving \[the aliens\] with approximately $50 or less per week," Senzatimore stated.

Firstly, they can't be called slaves if they were allowed to keep some of their money, right? Second, the "masters" were just practicing good old fashioned capitalism, right? Third, the "slaves" were just taking jobs that Americans won't do, right?

I wish my screen name were "Sarcasm" so I wouldn't have to put the tag.

The garage and shed had no running water or toilets, officials said.


Just their way of making them feel at home....just like being back in the "old country."

Is Amityville a Hispanic neighborhood now? It used to be upscale.

Well, I'll be...

Two comments. First, for those on FR who think the border activists are just a bunch of Mexican bashers, I say check the nationality of these illegal aliens.

And next, this just bolsters my argument for calling the coyotes what they really are - Slave Traders.

When will America wake up? /rhetoric

Federal agents said Zavala and Ibanez garnished the wages to pay off the smuggling fees, which averaged nearly $7,000 per visa.

If they were illegal immigrants why would they have visas?
I don't defend what this family was doing but it doesn't look like these were illegal immigrants, just uneducated and ignorant of our laws.

A) If these were south of the border illegals, the living conditions were pretty much what they were accustomed to - if not better. B) our government does not wish to stop this slave trade, and C) we the people continue to allow it

Didn't I see this as a Law and Order or SVU plot not long ago?

Just damn.

Same thing that happens to people in Mexico --- this isn't illegal in Mexico to hold people as virtual slaves, this is about Mexican culture and ways and squalor setting up in the USA. It'll be viewed as normal soon enough.

Slave labor is paramount if we're to be competetive in a global economy.

Right?
