Probably not in the way that would be most satisfying for people like you and I. We live in a very frustrating time. We must keep reminding ourselves that is may take a hundred years, but historians will one day look back on this as a more than a mistake, but an actual act of terror perpetrated by the United States. \n\nFuture students will look back on it with the same kind of shame with which we view slavery.

well there is a major difference,.african slaves were forced from their homeland and brought here in the bottom of ships. they had no choice in the matter. these immigrants are paid poorly.. i agree.. but slaves who were beaten ..recieved no money.. its a lot easier to cross back over  fence if you dislike it here.. than to find a boat to go back to africa... the same for european slaves. no way out for the indentured servants..   i do agree they are taken advantage of.. and shame on the people who prey on the misfortune of thoseseeking a better life.  but things have to be done properly.. and you cant just come into this country illegally and expect a welcome mate

slavery still exists. its just in a different form. there are slaves here in america and in other parts of the world. i am surprised u never heard of it. there are woman who come into this country with a promised job as a "maid" and when they get over here their employer takes their passports and keeps their wages. which is slavery.

Must slavery be legal in order to be real?  Or would it not be better to have someone not even realize the extent of their servitude?\n\nPay alone does not erase slavery.  Control over one's destiny is the principal thing.

You choose your job and career.  With that, in America slavery does not exist.  Furthermore, spare me the liberal babel that people are forced into jobs because of their upbringing.  Everyone in this country has the ability to utilize the assets that society grants us to better themselves so that they enable themselves to move up the economic ladder.

No, because people that hire undocumented workers would not be interested in hiring as they don't pay standard wage's to Illegals. I think that they should be arrested and put in jail where they belong.

anyone that had a job when called to duty should have that job when they return home. unless they quit their job to join.

No. Slavery is cruel and evil and it takes a very profitable industry to get people to overlook that.

Yes, of course they should pay for them to go back, but that will never happen, there is also a chance the country would'nt even except them back, like what happened to the boat full of Chinese we just sent back this summer, China refused to take them back.  Do you really think Mexico would take back people that are making the country even richer than it is already, hell no.\nI'm in the greenhouse growing industry and I've worked with hispanic's for almost 15 years.   \nThey are smug and arrogant and know they are thought of as better than the citizens of this country.  Our government tell them this everyday, they have perks and incentives to keep coming over.  If I hear one more person say what hard workers, family oriented people thay are, I'm going to throw-up.  I know how they are and who they are, and what they respect, which is vertually nothing, they do'nt even sell dog food or cat food in their grocery stores, they do not know how to use a toilet, they can't drive, I've been hit by a hispanic and he left the scene, did the cops hunt him down, no!!!!!!!!  Everyday on my job, on the road, and in my neighborhood I am violated, and this I hate our GOVERNMENT for.  Please do not worry about who will pay to get these law breakers home, no one is going to send them back, they come and go at their own free will and will as long as America is America.

I actually do believe that this is a great idea. Let those who want to take lives here in America go to Iraq, potrol the border, and serve the country. And if they make it back alive, then there free, If they die..well..then they're gone, but at least they served the country!

NONE of my family came to this country until 1887.  We were\nnot even in this country while slavery was common practice.\nWhy on earth should they be need reparations for something\nthat didn't touch them???????  NOT ONE OF THEM has ever \nbeen a slave. The civil war was over in 1865, so no one \nhas even remotely distant relatives that were effected by it.  THIS WHOLE ISSUE IS RIDICULES!!!!

I would support you doing that very same thing here in America. Please come home and put your work efforts back into our country for our people.

AMERICA SHOULD NOT LOSE THE WAR.  WE SHOULD BACK OFF AND LET THEM GO TO IT.  WE ALWAYS KNEW THE PEOPLE IN THAT AREA WERE PRONE TO HOLD A GRUDGE FOREVER.  THEY ARE OF A MIND THAT WE CAUSED ANYTHING BAD THAT HAPPENS TO THEM.  "WE ARE THE BAD GUYS"  IF WE BANDAGE THEIR WOUNDS THE ZEALOTS SAY WE ARE DOING IT WITH INFECTED BANDAGES IN ORDER TO MURDER THEM, ECT.  THE POOR CHILDREN, WOMEN AND MEN WHO HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED ARE DOOMED TO A WASTED LIFE OF HATRED.

The slave trade has been going on since before written history and continues to this very day.In days of old it was common practice to enslave a defeated enemy, in some civilizations you could even enslave someone for owing a debt. Civilization as we know it was built by slaves, ancient Eygpt, Persia, Geece, Rome, all built by slaves, at one point or another every group has been both the slave and the master. The african slave trade is by no means unique, slavery has been a fact of life in Africa since the beginning, slaves were always valued spoils of war among fighting tribes,Anyone that thinks the slave trade started because a boatload of europeans sailed down to Africa and started rounding up peaceful natives is sadly mistaken, at the time when european nations were getting involved in the slave trade there exsisted on the \nafrican continent a number of very large and powerful kingdoms, each with a large and powerful army, slaves were just one of a number of traded commodities, it should be noted that at the time when europeans were trading for slaves to sell in the americas, arab and african pirates were raiding european coastal villages for white slaves to sell in northern africa. There is no innocent guilt-free party here, everyone has blood on there hands. The slave trade in Africa continues to this day, why doesn't anyone talk about that? Slavery in america is a disgrace this country has to deal with, as are the segregation years that followed. This is still a fresh wound for america, slavery exsisted for three hundred years before the civil war and it's only been fifty years since the civil rights movement, we still have a long way to go, but giving away money doesn't solve anything, if you want to throw money at the problem throw it at education, health care, job training, things that actually do some good.I am not responsible for the sins of my forefathers, I cannot affect the past, only the future,personally, I think we need to spend more energy working on tomorrow than crying about yesterday.
