If modern day slavery is happening in Florida today, it's because
nobody cares about how illegal workers are treated. If things were
any better at home, they wouldn't be here in the first place. Blame
the victim. If you're poor, it's your own d@mn fault. They are told
to shut up and work or go home. Who would they tell even if they
could? Go to the authorities, get deported.
