Union members at the JBS Foods meatpacking plant in Greeley, Colorado, said hundreds of Haitian immigrants were lured to work at the plant on false promises.
"[They were told,] 'You can come here. You are going to have a very good job. And you don't have to worry about where you're going to sleep because the company is going to take care of that for you,'" alleges plant worker Tchelly Moise. [SNIP] "We are talking about eight or 10 people inside of one motel room, a small room with just one bed inside of it and one bathroom," said Moise.

Keep working there! It'll make deportation so much easier.

This is insulting and if it doesn’t make you angry you are asleep. Send them back to Haiti. They don’t belong here. Who is paying their legal fees and how do illegal aliens have union protection with any standing in U.S. Courts of Law? They need to go back to Haiti, give up voodoo and animism to study math and science and make something of their own home if they want a better life so badly. Two hundred + years ago fewer than 10% of the U.S. population were slave owners. We don’t owe every poor person on the planet our homes, our safety, our culture, our sovereignty and our wealth because of that. Native-born Americans have been blackmailed and coerced for way too long by the likes of Tchelly Moise, George Soros and other communists. Illegals are not wanted in the U.S., not needed and not welcome. Haitians have no historical claim to our benevolence or heritage. They can tell it to France.

The only rights illegals have is the right to be deported.

Who brought them here in the first place and what were they promised? How many came on a direct flight from Port-au-Prince to Greeley, courtesy of the American taxpayer?

The traffickers are getting rich thanks to the Biden-Harris open border.

The only reason that the Haitians were lured there was as modern cheap labor slaves who the company figured they could work a lot harder than US workers at much lower wages. Generally that’s what mass uncontrolled illegal immigration is all about these days.
Unfortunately politicians of both political parties covertly support that modern slavery concept, expecting in return to receive political support, campaign contributions, and sometimes “under the cover” kickbacks. That’s the way it has been all along until the leftist and progressive Democrats figured out that by counting illegal aliens by the millions in the US Census that they could cause a large amount of Congressional redistricting resulting in a yet undetermined number of congressional seats being moved into so-called “sanctuary cities” and other localities where future Democrats candidates will be greatly favored to win those seats. In addition the Democrats figure that by allowing millions of Third World origin poor and uneducated illegal aliens into the USA, that by granting them amnesty or otherwise legalizing them, that they would eventually be creating millions or tens of millions of future leftist and progressive Democrat supporters and voters, thus permanently changing the voter demographics of the USA enough to keep the leftist and progressive Democrats in permanent political power, controlling the Congress and the White House, making it possible to transform the USA Into some sort of future socialist utopia.

And they stink up every motel they infest, and they steal everything that isn't nailed down. Gee, I feel culturally enriched. Enjoy your slavery.

I doubt they had a bathroom in Haiti. Don't like it? No one is keeping you back from returning 'home'.

JBS Foods Group that owns and runs the meat packing plant at Greeley, Colorado is a Brazilian corporation, so why should they give a hoot about the USA immigration and labor laws that the leftist and progressive Democrats refuse to enforce?

As one conservative politician said a few months ago to an immigrant who was complaining about their free food and lodging: "You are just now finding out that, despite what you have been told, the streets of America are not paved with gold."

How is living packed into the hotel room any different than Haiti? At least they have electricity and running water. As for the union... How long did this "abuse" go on before they decided to complain? Was it when they found out the Haitians weren't paying union dues?
