This is a true horror story of deception and exploitation of foreign workers by a US corporation.
Ruth
"After I was fired on March 9, 2007, I went to New Orleans, and I saw that the Black people were sleeping under bridges and living in pitiful conditions. And I realized that the system is totally exploiting us--the system is exploiting the poor Black people in this country. It was amazing.
The company told us that there was no manpower in the U.S.--"that's why we are calling you." The reality was that people, working people, were wandering on the roads, looking for food.
But instead of taking these people and relocating them to jobs, the government is looking for ways to bring other poor people from other countries, in a guest-worker program. The recruiters, the company and the system are exploiting the lives of the poor ones and workers, and exploiting the rights of the citizens, too.
The system lets citizens and immigrants fight each other. Citizens think, "Because of the immigrants, I am not getting jobs." The reality is not that. The poor people aren't encouraged to go to the company, because the government isn't letting them take these jobs."
