But it is cheaper than outright slavery isn’t it? If an unscrupulous employer can “con” workers into comming, and not pay for housing, medical attention and food, the cost outlay for manual labour workers is way cheaper than paying for the upkeep of an actual slave. Illegal mexican immigrants are treated much the same way, except the government in the USA pays for many freebies to make their life easier and my taxes go up, and up, and up. Wow!

It’s nice to be able to put a voice to a name. It also says a lot about you, that you show concern for those whom others would rather ignore. If only more people followed your example. Therein lies the hope for mankind. Very good interview, Esra’a. It’s nice to be able to put a voice to a name.
