I think I understand that they are using the horror word “slavery” to advocate free citizenship privileges for illegal aliens.

My question is about indentured servitude. You borrow enough to make an ocean crossing, which was a small fortune in those days. You pay it back in seven years, principal and interest. You work long hours, sunup to sundown, six days a week, during planting and harvest, but the hours are much less the rest of the year. All your living expenses, room and board, are provided during the life of the loan. Furthermore it is a voluntary arrangement, and at the end you owe nothing more and you are are fully legal in your new country.

Someone please correct me on this, with my thanks. Where am I wrong on the details and requirements of indentured servitude?

Anyway, this is a slavery that people were more than happy to enjoy. Expect the invasion to continue apace.

I have learned here on FreeRepublic that we must keep re-electing these guys, and if we don't, then WE are the ones responsible for the worse person that the Democrats put in.
