I'm inclined to wonder if the reason the U.S. can't seem to control the border we share with Mexico is because business lobbies against it.
After all, the United States has figured out how to have some sort of slave labor from inception. There were the imported black slaves, the underage children, the sweat shops and probably others I have overlooked. Management always hated labor unions, but like it or not, management's untenable employee practices were the reason labor unions were born.
While business is thought of as leaning toward being moral because it is run by our neighbors, friends, and those who profess to share our ideals, in reality business has no soul and those who run them oft times see no correlation in the need for the business to behave as society expects the owners and management to.
A friend sent me this picture. Whether purposely posed or not, the circumstances are often a reality, and that reality makes me sad.

Bill,
I guess the old saying "a picture says a thousand words" really applies here.
He should have shot this wide angle. He missed the three guys in the work truck drinking coffee
Bill,
It's a sad statement on society...
similarly up here in Ontario, for years and years Jamaicans came up to harvest the fruit in the orchards because they were hard workers, did not demand high pay, and local Ontarions did not want to do the jobs.
