Much of central america is known for a vasst rich poor divide of big houses with servant populations nearby. This is what immigration amnesty provides, pushing low skill wages lower. With less immigration it gives you higher wages for the bottom rung. Renting a house, decent health care, that’s not what creates a caste system.

I just can't wait for someone killing an illegal immigrant and the time taken by the jury to give their verdict is equal to how fast you can drink a bottle of Pepsi. It will be just like those hate crimes towards african americans in the first half of the 20th century. #14

Actually it is the caste system - these people are born into this. India is very progressive in education using Indian made satellites for teaching in schools which are too remote for conventional hook-ups. We had sent on of our Chinese engineers over to one of our clients for about six months and he said where he is people line up to have their morning squat on the side of the road men and women. India sure is a country of contrasts... Cheers #7 “Their economic priorities are even more backwards than ours!”

Maybe they should ask the tooth fairy. If they're so unhappy, then why are they doing the job at all? My guess is the list of demands was added in by someone else. I hope they do pay for all those things. If trash became so expensive, maybe people would stop throwing everything into the street. So they want all those things?

Considering the latest anti brown skin movements in the USA and the anti immigrant laws (not to mention the ignorant attitude towards sikhs) I'm sure that dream of castes will become a reality in the USA. “Castes continue – as much a part of the economy as the culture.”

Gov't: How about some gloves and an apron? A two week long strike would send a message. I'd send $50.00 to keep them fed during the strike. The India gov't is spending an estimated 500 million on weapons upgrades and nukes. Must be reading from the Bush doctrine. Fuck the poor (and key element of their society), more things that go boom.
