2 farm workers sue over alleged discrimination

This highlights one of the problems associated with cheap imported labor. While mistreatment of workers is reprehensible, the US taxpayer ends up paying to educate foreigners about our culture and laws, and the ones that do the mistreating are now imports as well. Oregon has a huge unemployment problem. There should be no reason for a farm to be importing people from mexico right now, and especially this close to christmas

Yes, many things are not discussed in this piece. During all of this abuse, how much of it involved the use of the English language? What was the immigration status of the alleged victims? Remember that one of the leverage points applied by illegals is victimhood of some kind. So they might be illegals who are begging victimhood. Who hired them? If they were in the country legally, it needs to be pointed out that, most likely, the hiring was done entirely in Spanish. Why should green cards be issued to anyone who does not speak English? There are no proper arguments to made for expressing a need for labor in this country that does not speak English.

...indigenous people from southern Mexico...

...indigenous Mixtec population...

...discrimination in Mexico against indigenous people is common. The language and culture of the indigenous people predates the Spanish conquest by hundreds of years...

It's true, regardless of how rosy "Latino activists" describe Mexican culture yet in which to be Indian is to be an outcast.

How many times must the word "indigenous" be gratuituosly tossed in to make a point?


I have a picture of a sign I took outside an establishment right next to the Columbia River in Oregon I wish I knew how to insert:

It says

HIRE OREGON FIRST
