Those Who Hire Illegal Aliens Are Today’s Slave Masters

Africans were brought to this country against their will, thus breaking the laws of God. Mexicans are smuggled into this country illegally, thus breaking the laws of man. The former as well as the latter have been brought here for the purposes of cheap labor. While the issue of slavery nearly destroyed this nation 140 years ago, today’s slave trade is also wreaking havoc upon the Republic.

The ‘plantation mentality’ is alive and well throughout this country’s businesses which rely upon a non-skilled labor force. Industries such as agriculture, landscaping, hospitality, and construction have filled their ranks with illegal aliens.

In most cases, these illegal workers are paid less than even the Federal Minimum Wage ($5.35hr). In some cases, they are actually paid nothing. Unscrupulous employers exploit illegal aliens for huge profits. The illegal worker is always fearful of detection, therefore he cannot make complaints of inhuman working conditions nor of labor violations. Unlike any American citizen, the illegal alien worker has no legal recourse against unethical employers.

Afraid of an innocent man

Every request to film or interview Troy at the prison where he awaits death near Jackson--even, for example, from the celebrated news program 60 Minutes, which has been trying for years to get approval-- has been denied by the Georgia Department of Corrections. 

These are questions that Troy's supporters and opponents of the death penalty would like answered as we organize the campaign to save Troy from another threat on his life by the state of Georgia. 

A fact sheet about Troy's case is available online at the Amnesty International Web site. Find out more about Troy's case at the Troy Anthony Davis Web site.
Marlene Martin's "Anatomy of a frameup" in the International Socialist Review documents the long history of injustices in Troy's case. Troy's sister, Martina Correia, was interviewed in the New Abolitionist in an article titled "The fight for my brother Troy."
For more information about the fight against the death penalty nationwide, visit the Web site of the Campaign to End the Death Penalty.

If Troy Davis dies, blame the Clintons

 MI6 'offered to jail senior Hamas leaders'
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/mi6-offered-to-jail-senior-hamas-leaders/story-e6frg6so-1225995075560

The MI6 cable, entitled "degrading the capabilities of the rejectionist groups", suggests intelligence officers engage in "the disruption of their leaderships' communications and command and control capabilities, the detention of key middle-ranking officers and the confiscation of their arsenals and financial resources held within the Occupied Territories".

It adds: "We could also explore the temporary internment of leading Hamas and PIJ (Palestinian Islamic Jihad) figures, making sure they are well treated, with EU funding."

At the time, Britain was involved in guarding senior Palestinian prisoners at a jail in Jericho in the occupied West Bank. The six men, including Ahmed Saadat, the head of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, were accused of the 2001 assassination of the Israeli minister Rehavam Zeevi.
