  1. Is there any hope for immigration there none but people will tell you that God is not merciful , congratulations just preparing myself for a mental breakdown we all will die one day if Christ do come in our lifetime, nobody is perfect we are now your slave and till we leave

  2. BUSTED YOU SICK @#%! DIG DEEPER & YOU'LL PROBABLY FIND OTHER BIG CORPORATIONS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING… PLUS A CORRUPT SYSTEM OF HUMAN-TRAFFICING HIDING ITS TRACKS AFTERWARD MUCH LESS JUSTICE PROSECUTION OF SAID GUILTY HUMAN-TRAFFICING CORPORATIONS WHO PURSUE 🤑GREED DAILY NOT CARING ABOUT WHO THEY HURT ALONG THE WAY.🧐

  3. The used black people for free labor and now it’s the brown peoples turn. Have white people ever built anything on their own with stealing someone else’s labor ?

  4. Us American Citizens have bigger things to worry about than this garbage story. Maybe they shouldn't come to this country without a plan.

  5. While I agree, they shouldn't be worked unfairly, how is the government going to help them after this? After they free them, the government is still going to throw them to the streets where they may live in conditions even worse than this. Instead of making some money, they will be out of a job, and without the proper paperwork, they are unable to get another.

  6. The Valley of Jehoshaphat was opened because of the Wickedness.
    All it takes is an unexpected 3 way phone call from someone who is trying to false flag there own crime on someone, on someone else. One 3 way phone call from a perpetrator & their victim, can cause an innocent person to get lured into being falsely prosecuted as a perpetrator.

    Thats how people get knocked off in this society; they get dehumanized by repetitive libel, then get labeled as incompetent; thats while they are living in psychological servitude over being falsely prosecuted & blackmail by criminal profiling.

    One 3 way phone call from a Conn Artist can get you trapped in Propaganda Due.
    There is more involving slavery in this nation than just underpaying immigrants, we live on the brink of war here!

  7. Be not decived God is not mocked for whatsoever a man soe's that shale he also reep . I do recall a passage that reads love thy nabor as thyself . Most of the migrant workers have nothing but there jobs to support there families and probably have pretty good work ethics trampled on by bad management .

  8. Are they looking into Chicken processing in GA too? Many immigrants and poor locals are abused in these processing plants in GA but it is rarely investigated. Human trafficking in all its forms is a real problem in GA.
