Here's one I've been pondering:
I think there is a problem here in NM with people taking advantage of illegal aliens. There is money promised for work and either they don't get paid, their wage gets cut by pay day, or they work for less than minimum wage. Not always the case...but it's frequent enough to be alarmed about.

Don't get me wrong....I don't like the fact that people have chosen to illegally enter this country and then demand rights....I don't want to turn this thread into a war either.......I'm liberal about a lot of things...but it bothers me because I've seen some protests and I don't think they have rights here to protest. (and fly the mexican flag not in solidarity btw)

But I do think that the use of illegals to do heavy work at low and sometimes wages that aren't delivered as promised is a form of modern slavery.
