annotated bibliography 2

Thesis: The use of illegal immigrants on factory farms it’s an easy thing to do especially if they can’t stand up for themselves. It’s not easy as an illegal immigrant to come to a new country where they believe they are going to be treated fairly but less do they know those people who pretend to help them are the one abusing their rights.
body1: farmers attempt to hide illegal immigrants from government officials

Body2: immigrants lack stable social environments

body3:.Illegal aliens are easily subject to exploitation

Body4:employers pay their undocumented workers substantially low wages

Body5:immigrants send money to their family


According to Orange coast magazine farmers who hire illegal immigrants and try to hide them from government officials if caught can a five year sentence and a fine for $2000 for each illegal immigrant found(pg136).For the most part,contractors bring illegal aliens to farms for employers who ignore the source of the workers.

immigrants lack stable social environments and support systems and are often dependent on exploitative employers willing to provide only subsistence wages, and a possibly hostile surrounding community (Pg 280). Immigrants are exposed to poor sanitation and poor housing conditions, pesticides, and infectious disease.

Ronald Reagan and the politics of immigration reform by Nicholas laham…….Illegal aliens are easily subject to exploitation since they have no power to assert their rights. They have no way to file complaints against employers who abuse and mistreat them in a manner which violates federal labor law. The ones who do so stand a good chance of being caught and turned over to the INS (immigration and naturalization service) for deportation.

Factory illegal workers are in desperate need for a job when coming to the united state that they accept any wage that is given to them.There are many of them who take this job without being aware of the job condition they are going to be working in (Sun food living:Resource guide for global health pg77). Recognizing that illegal aliens must maintain anonymity, employers pay there undocumented workers substantially lower wages and subject them to harsh working conditions(Ronald Reagan and the politics of immigration reform pg178)

Immigrants come to the united states or other countries in look of being able to send money to there families back at there home countries.(American government and politics today 2008:the essentials pg146).The wages sent home to there family either legal or illegal are the second largest source of foreign income in Mexico.

In conclusion illegal immigrants are treated like they are worth nothing when they come to work for factories in the united states. since they cant fight for there rights they are exposed to a lot of horrible things.
