When thinking of immigrant workers in the United States of America, thoughts of blissful opportunities do not come to mind. This feeling might stem from me being born and raised in this great nation of ours with first hand experience in the lives of many immigrants. I was made aware to the intricacies of my nation’s prosperity at an early age, exposing me to the unfair labor practices brought forth by the liberties given to our free market. Here is an article in which the American and Mexican presidents are in effect negotiating the cost of labor in the United States. I see this benefiting, to a large extent, only American employers, excluding the majority of the American people. At the same time that I’m getting this feeling I am trying to grasp my way around the fact that the Mexican president, in a way, is selling out his people. I’m sure he is aware of the labor practices in use by the many industries taking part in guest worker programs, yet he is willingly bargaining away his people.
