Just getting around to typing this in this news story.

The main source for this story is the farmworkers' attorney. It's reasonable to ask how much of the money in the civil suit will actually make it to the workers in question.

The farmers in question had an obligation to make sure the workers were not undocumented, as I understand the process. It sounds like they did not.

Garcia faced federal charges for violating anti-slavery, immigration and labor laws.

So let me get this straight.If you violate anti slavery laws with up to 500 real world victims then you MAY possibly get 4 years in prison or less.But if you are caught with 5 or 6 rocks of crack that you are going to smoke yourself and harm no one but your own lungs you can be subject to 15 years mandatory minumum with no chance at early release for good behavior and if you have a pound of cocaine you will get life with no parole causeing these slave traders to get out even earlier then the 4 years they might be sentenced to so the prison can have more bed space available to warehouse drug dealers and users.If anyone on free republic wantsto stop this absolute nonsence got to www.lp.org and sign up to the party.
