Xochitl Hinojosa? When did the Justice Department start hiring Aztec deities?

He said the Thais have a lower runaway rate than the others and are more productive.

In the movie "Misery", they revived a custom called hobbling that seemed to cure the problem of runaways.

I think the ancients would cut the Achille's Tendon, but our modern elites use systems of finance, taxes and debt.

He's a donor to the GOP, btw.

And forget green cards for the Thais -- they should go 1600 on his ass and let them heave Mordechai into a cauldron to watch the flesh boil off from his bones.

He clearly suffers from hubris about how cunning he is. So they could also bait him into trying to escape the jailhouse by making a suggestive hole in his cell wall before he arrives, then have it lead into an arena where wild beasts suck out *his* blood before a jeering crowd.

That'll learn him to be so smug about his cunning.

Xochitl is the ancient Aztec goddess of DMV queues. Some older offices still have their "NOW SACRIFICING #114" signs.

When it comes to the guest worker concept, Republicans are worse than the Democrats. Most Republicans talk tough on immigration but how they stand on guest workers seems to separate the phoneys from the sincere.

The guy is scum, but in the scheme of things, small fry.

Boeing has imported 100,000 of guest workers, depriving Americans of good wages as engineers and welders. Microsoft is notorious for abusing the H-1B visa system. Probably about 2/3rds of MS employees are H1-Bs.

But yes, good catch in the outlier is an arrow to show where the median is.

A lower runaway rate. Have we come to this?

In AUS we have had repeated instance of Asian sex slave trafficking come to light in the press. Its not clear how much duress is place on the girls, but the whole industry relies on a form of bonded labour.

You might think that a liberal political leaders who claim to put civic morality on a higher standard would be leery of these practices. Not a bit, the practice goes on under some other name (457 visas or what not.)

Thats post-modern liberalism for ya, praises freedom, promotes slavery.

You're so bloodthirsty. The man is already under orders of deportation. I say deposit him in international waters off the coast of Hawaii and let him think about how he's wronged others during his swim home.

My old employers sent shills onto F-news to tout a departure from the old view of "labor," then told managers they were looking for "soldiers." War is nothing but unlimited competition.

as oppressive conditions.
The indictment says recruiters in Thailand charged the workers — who earned as little as $1,000 a year farming in their home country — as much as $21,000 to obtain visas for the United States.


I am writing this from Thailand and it seems to me that any Thai who can come up with $21,000 is hardly a poor farmer.

Right, Whiskey. It's a shame how they come down hard on this poor, innocent Israeli businessman, and meanwhile the WASP Harvard mafia is getting away with murder.

What happened to those Rabbis in NY who were trafficking human parts? That kinda dissapeared down the memory hole. I wonder how the press would have taken care of the story had it been Catholic priests trafficking organs?

Abe Fauxman, from one of your links this insightful bit:
Dr. Moshe Kantor, president of the European Jewish Congress, lambasted the commissioner. “What sort of environment allows such remarks to be made openly by a senior politician?” he said.

What Kantor is bitching about is that the European environment has not been sufficiently stifled yet with press-hounding, career-destruction, character-assassination, thought-control, even outright murder, and of course outfits like ADL and $PLC. The US has been sufficiently sterilized so that hacks like Kantor can get away with has bigoted shit. What De Gucht sed sounds perfectly reasonable and fact-based to me. Pity he apologized and gave the bigots the upper hand again.

I'm no longer in Thailand, but borrowing and selling off land existed when I was there, including among the poor.

There are lots of Thai and other foreign workers in Israel, too. I wonder how well they're treated.

They're not on any path to citizenship. That much I know.

Apparently, the Thais signed an agreement to work off that $21,000 after they got to the U.S. in the belief that they'd easily be able to pay off their debt and then start making big money.

From the article: "...guest workers who had been forced into debt in Thailand to pay fees to local recruiters. The company, according to the indictment, sought to 'to compel the workers’ labor and service through threats to have them arrested, deported or sent back to Thailand, knowing the workers could not pay off their debts if sent home.”

So very true. Though here in the US I think many Republicans like the guest worker/slave system too..

Good catch on the 'runaway rate' quote Steve. The MSM never comments on that side of things.

I was initially under the impression that this story was about America, but I was mistaken. It seems to be about a foreign country.

There is no America anymore - it is becoming nothing more than an alien bazaar, where people from around the world come to buy and sell.

You're supposed to dismiss it coz it involves an Israeli, aka, Jew, and they per definition are moral people and do not indulge in immoral business practices, something about being a light unto the nations and all that.

Well. if they don't mind working every day, except for 4 annual days off, and being accommodated in a chicken coop, not that bad.

The sort of environment in Israel, it looks like.


JERUSALEM (JTA) -- Illegal African immigration is a serious threat to Israel's Jewish and democratic character, Benjamin Netanyahu said.

"We have become almost the only First World country that can be reached by foot from the Third World," Netanyahu said Thursday in an address to the Manufacturers Association of Israel. "We are flooded with a surge of refugees who threaten to wash away our achievements and damage our existence as a Jewish democratic state."

Netanyahu said the thousands of African and other migrant workers who have infiltrated to Israel from Egypt "are causing socio-economic and cultural damage and threaten to take us back down to the level of the Third World. They take the jobs of the weakest Israelis."


Somebody tell Dr. Moshe Kantor, quick!

This is what they do in Israel. They bring in SE Asian agricultural workers who are treated in ways that would be frowned upon in the US. And there is absolutely no mechanism by which they can gain Israeli citizenship or permanent residency. They actually have to sign a contract that says they cannot have sex with Israelis. The Arab gulf states do something similar minus the sex part.

Google "site:il Thai abuse" and read countless horror stories of forced labor, rape, stolen passports, intimidation, and imprisonment in Israel. The abuse of Thai workers was pioneered in Israel as the stories stretching back almost 20 years make clear.

When you put the internationally renowned obnoxious, aggressive freier-loathing Israeli personality (see "sabra") in charge of thousands of shy, retiring, conflict avoidant Oriental peasants, and top that with an insurmountable language barrier (does a Hebrew to Thai dictionary even exist?) and the fact that the peasants are Gentiles (Bnei Noach, or lower caste human beings) you have a recipe for ruthless exploitation. How many Thai-speaking labor investigators/social workers/home health nurses do we have in America (or Israel)? Three? Five?

Motty Orian et fils pioneered Thai exploitation in Israel to do the work Jews won't do (forget all the cutesy romantic man-of-the-soil kibbutznik stuff you ever learned). And after bad press in Israel, he trained his sights on America. What Motty Orian has done is transplant the worst of Medieval peasant exploitation to America. He is recreating the traditional slavemaster/peasant relationships that worked for Jews in Poland and the Ukraine (up until 1648, that is) by importing the weakest, most defenseless and exploitable workers he can. Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Kuwait are the same in this.

But we do not have to go along with it in our country. We do not have a caste hierarchy and inevitable exploitation as a fundament of our culture as they do and should resist it at all costs.

Well, someone has to be a devil's advocate... Here's grist for the mental mill.

1. Every society throughout history, until just the recent blip of the past 200 years, had slavery. It seems pretty ingrained in human nature.

2. Even our present society did not do away with slavery. Who do you think made your shirts? Yes, the regional potentate signs off on a "no slave labor" guarantee, but when you're selling a 2-cent dress for $75, there's not much incentive to investigate the truth behind a document accepted as perfectly legal by all the governments concerned.

A good part of our manufacturing and commerce is done by slaves. But they're overseas. Importing them here is merely an old-is-new wrinkle.

3. America was built, in important part, by indentured servants. Many of the people - white people, including my ancestors - who won passage to the New World did it that way. Not much different from the green-card hopeful in this story.
