Sweet Home Alabama | Haitian Money Pit (VICE on HBO: Season 3, Episode 7)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 янв 2016
- In 2011, the state of Alabama passed one of the harshest anti-immigrant laws in the history of the United States. Based on the hardline policy known as “self-deportation,” Alabama's HB-56 aimed to make life so miserable for illegal immigrants that they’d opt to leave the state on their own: the law granted police unprecedented powers to arrest, question, and detain suspected illegal immigrants, and even criminalized citizens who provided undocumented workers with jobs, housing, or transportation. The law created a climate of hostility that may have forced tens of thousands of immigrants to flee-and it may also have done real damage to the state’s economy.
With illegal immigration roiling American communities and the upcoming presidential race, we sent Thomas Morton to Alabama to see what it would look like if undocumented workers just disappeared.
Then: when a massive earthquake ravaged Haiti in 2010, killing more than 300,000 people and leaving more than 2 million survivors homeless, the international community came together to provide nearly $10 billion in relief and reconstruction aid. But where did all that money go? And why are so many Haitians still living in abominable conditions in the very places that foreigners promised to rebuild?
VICE’s Vikram Gandhi goes to Port-au-Prince to follow the money trail and see whether the billions of dollars in aid are actually changing the lives for the better.
VICE returns on Friday, February 5 at 11PM, exclusively on HBO

This is exactly why I don’t give to foreign aid companies or organizations! The people never get the help, instead, there is a select few who spend that money for themselves or who ever they choose.
The Salvation Army, Goodwill and Unicef have decent track records. Not perfect, but if you're considering donating in the future any of those organisation would be a good choice.
Wounded Warriors 😂😂
@@PaulPaid that's it I would rather get my money to Wounded Warriors
@@ernestdougherty3162 Yeah..give your money to the local crooks. Haven't you heard? wounded warriors was a scam.
yes ...select few...other words THE HIGH CROOKED ONES
When the French demanded to be compensated for the loss of wages, due to the end of slavery in Haiti, the USA served as an enforcer and forced the Haitians to compensate the French, for the loss of wages. I guess birds of a feather flock together!
And the French took it knowing where it was coming from and who it was hurting... and Haiti did so without question because they are corrupt and their politicians got paid off in return for selling out their country. Similar to what is going on with China buying out our politicians, one of them happens to be in the White House right now.
come on guys just say it. hilary clinton
Politicians made alot of money off the hati earthquake crisis
n ww1n2 korea, ect.ect when ever we get who is really at the causation of all this shit then we might see the light n take back our country n gov. before its too late and that may already be the case now its a hydra monster thing now and pregnant one at that fixing to spawn a whole lot more of em
🤝
Facts
@GENERAL DISARRAY'S BOSS 83 honest man should no longer give to charity least the wolves should steal it before it gets to the needy
with the technology that we have. Who knows maybe the even caused it?
I always talk about how the hardest working guy I ever met was a migrant. My country sent him home (Canada, he was Mexican) despite his desperate attempts at a permanent residency. It was super sad to see this guy who desperately loved Canada get sent home. Not many people would have contributed to our society more than he would have.
I've spent some time in Haiti in and out of Port Au Prince. My biggest take away from the NGO's is selfish-help. I was there on my own volunteering at a maternity clinic doing some construction for a summer. When I was in the local town I saw other white people, so you know they are with a NGO group. I went up to say hi and just talk but they snubbed me and barely acknowledged I was there. Everyone wants to be the hero.A few weeks later a friend of the people I was working for finally was able to buy a 1/10th of an acre, which allowed her to get donated materials, like cinder blocks, cement and tin for a roof, for a single room house from a NGO. She did get them and joked later that she was going to get more from another NGO so her and her daughter could have 2 rooms. I asked her how this was possible and her response was basically, the charities don't communicate with each other and there is more then enough materials so why not get what I can why they have it.After spending a summer there I couldn't agree with her more. I enjoyed my time there but Haiti has so many layers of problems throughout their history. Once I spent the time talking with locals and another group of people I know that run a charity in Haiti, to get the whole picture. I wasn't surprised why the place looks like shit. But all in all the people are amazing. I would have never thought a summer spent doing construction in the blazing summer, eating BBQ pig ears off the side of the road and drinking Prestige beer on the beach could have been as fond of a memory as it is.
Government like demoralized take away resources from from little countries . Gaining control and armed young men to become gang members. Take their land watch the country tourn in S whole
I’m happy to hear of ur fond memories of Haiti 🇭🇹 u should return to visit
Don't leave the Clinton Bush Fund out of this . Those two families were right smack in the middle of the Haitian mess. The one very true line in your report was this, "They don't want things to change"
Their net worth grew substantially after the Haitian mess.
Ryan league and they have been cursed ever since.
true they want haiti to stay the same but - rember again. one day god exist
No one elected President will ever be for the people, we need to press the reset button.
"When no one can; A Mexi-CAN!"
HAA lol
Rolly Herrera I agree & I respect them for doing so....👏🏽👏🏽
Thank god for them lol
hop the fence?
Hahahha boooooo yes 😎😂
No one wants to work when they don't make enough money to live on.
It's called slavery not work corporate federal government every time it gets involved in anything you have more of it because of their profiteering schemes
The prisoners have no intensive to work for free Maybe some fresh air and a smoke hell I would not break to much of a sweat ether.
You could pay them whatever they want an hour, they'll still not work. They want to stay home & be on facebook & do drugs & drink. I just had a guy quit a $35/Hr job because he had some money "saved up" & wanted to take his boat out everyday! AMERICANS DON'T WANT TO WORK! THEY JUST WANT TO COMPLAIN & BITCH
Kyle Wilson who wants to work when the tax man takes most of it!.....even illegals are on to it now!
If in a private working job, why do we pay Federal withholding tax when it was meant for federal employees?
annnnd that's why I dont trust charities… better to just find a way to give money directly to individual hatians.
dalevlog well if you look at the fine print the charity tells you how they spend the money usually 7% or less goes to the cause and 93% goes to research and other “things”
I completely agree...
I agree. I have often thought it would be better to get the money directly to the family. How would one go about setting something like that up?
@@AandP4dummieslikeme You'd have to go to Haiti yourself.
Or the Clinton's
This Haiti situation pisses me of to no end...
"F" the end
What you gonna do about it
It’s 2020 and I’m grateful for this content.
It’s 2024 and I’m grateful
From 7:30 to 9:20 had me crackin up. (Real Talk)
I've helped build a house in the Dominican just east of there, and my Lord! some of those Haitians can work harder than anyone I've ever seen. They're better off without "aid" which ends up going through corrupt governments. They need education before anything (water treatment first)
Where's Bono and his initiative to build clean drinking water and waste collection? Y'all are on The Left, but at least you don't obsfucate the truth!
Damn! 70 million in townhouses to hook up there own staff...WOW...How Sick minded is that???
Jeffrey Barruga exactly. I thought I heard incorrectly.
Yes. I know the people are dying, but I need a townhouse with a swimming pool first
That is what is going on what you call third world country. If you dare question this kind of exploitation you will end up dead like Lumumba and Sankara. they talk of how much money they spend in third world country but what you do not know is that they are not spending shit.
You should blame the Clintons for a lot of this because when they got hit all the money we donated went to building those nice things and nothing to the poor people of Haiti. But it came back in return through the contractors. Liberal justice.
Jeffrey Barruga how big is that land.
21:23 Why is it odd that the people without government help did better?
Tiff Hitz and a skilled warrior of God
We donate and it goes nowhere. I'm pissed off.....
It returned to the US.
you live under the American Government, are you really surprised?
the American Government will use the money on American companies and American supplies that way they still get the tax dollars... if it has anything to do with American government it will only benefit the American Government. American Government doesn't give a damn about helping anyone, not even it's own people, they only want profit for themselves!
Eileene Clark dude, Clinton foundation was investigated and found no corruption. Trump’s foundation was closed due to corruption. You’re so misinformed
Lamin Fatty yeah ok lemming, try again!
"now i know sum white people are going to be mad but white people in Alabama don't want too work" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 bout time they stop saying black people 👍👍👍👍 the guy wuz the only one that lasted 30 days 😂😂😂😂😂😂💯💯
Lol.
Yes, we did the work for 360 years with no pay. Then when it came time to pay us ... we were put off our lands Jim Crow laws .. So they told the lie we didn't want to work to bring in the illegals. So okay now you don't want to pay them .. and the Monsanto's are growing poison .. See how things come back to bit you, trying to be greedy and hateful.
IKR LOL
@@HavardiYah Neither blacks or whites want to do this.
It's blacks and whites man. I still know some whites that do it.
I'm loling at the fact, they subtitled the police chief
Lol I didn't noticed that, but that's hilarious
+sk8guy36 just because we talk different from you doesn't make us hicks.
+Tristin no, the fact that you're hicks makes you hicks. the accent just makes you identifiable.
+Tristin
The fact that Brooklyn dwelling hipsters and mouth breathing stoners can't find your state on a map makes you hicks.
knupder most hicks can't find their own state on a map.
12:18 i love how he said "are you tired Thomas?" and he didnt understand
Ive been to Port Au Prince and Haiti, it is still a mess to this day. So sad.
Lol way to send out the guy who hasn't worked a day in his life.
he gives it a more dramatic effect.
+wig smey yeah in alot of the documentaries they've done, he's portrayed as a whimp
+wig smey Yup! I hate that guy, he's just smug and too fucking cool for school.
+denmark555 "too cool"? He looks like a member of Weezer or a Magic: The Gathering club. I don't know what school you went to, but he certainly wouldn't have been considered "too fucking cool for school".
Lmao way to go southern states that's why you'll always be the dumbasses of America
"For a mexican not too heavy" Hahahaha
Jack Kelly my fav line
Your employer had no insurance for you in case you hurt yourself or died on the job, among other things. Employers know that they would have to pay a lot of money for an American including the wage. politics folk. Thank God for Trump
Thomas is so weak! He can’t even catch a damn watermelon!
Lul. Word
Thomas seems like a nice guy but jeez what a pansy
He should be wearing a skirt
@Mike w the English language is so rich, that two words can mean a world to others :)
I’m not sure what manly men do Or
What kind of skirts they wear I just know I picked up my share of watermelons growing up on a farm as a white boy
Florida just said, Alabama , hold my beer!
"if you have laws, you ought to enforce them"
translation
"we have contractors ready to profit from the enforcement of these laws"
VICE did a good job on this video. Especially, the Haiti part.
Ask the CLINTONS´ about the Haití´smoney
joe cheney right about that too
They use some of that money to paid their daughter wedding.
I worked on a vegetable farm for 3 months in Australia to secure my second year working holiday visa and the first week nearly killed me. We got paid very well though! After a few weeks my body was used to it, but I think the non-challenging job is really what I hated most and not having to use my brain. It was litterally just cutting broccoli and throwing it into the bins or planting. I lost some weight though which was awesome! This documentary took me back! ❤️
how much were you paid per hour?
H1inc mmmmm about $23 an hour AUD, and that was in 2011 for 3 months
If you appreciate their work ethic, treat them like human beings! Treat The People Right!
give them amneties atleast
This country is so much so much hate again this wonderful hard working undocumented immigrants. Racism’s all over especially on small towns north or the south. Like they own this stolen land . Colonizers mind
This is one of the most informative documentaries and it should be MANDATORY for students
vice... mandatory in class.... lol go back to your gender studies assignment, soyboy
I thought this was about Haitians living in Alabama🙃
Same
Same
One good thing I noticed happening in those after the earthquake suburbs.. Reforestation on a small scale.. everyone planting a fruit tree in their new yards. That place looks like it was deforested before the earthquake ever happened.
so 5 years later haiti still looks like it got hit by the earthquake
They did, I went in 2016 to Haiti and I can see how they were fucked over
Because they don’t want to clean up their country they want everyone else to do it for them.
what is with the south always trying to solve there problem with slaves.... just pay people decent wages you will get quality labor. that or get yourself less racist and figure it out.
@Miss O.P.: Oh yeah. That's worked out so well for the people who worked in the fast food industry and their 15.00 an hour raise. They will be replaced with kiosks. Small business can't afford to pay higher wages without going broke so they either reduce their staff or cut everyone's hours. And paying higher wages is no guarantee of quality labor.
A slacker is a slacker no matter how much they earn.
Steel Briar the farmers have had this issue for centuries. No connection to the restaurants.
Steel Briar they can afford to pay higher, it just means less for them so they don’t do it...shit it’s been documented that most major companies been laundering their money to avoid paying taxes since 2007-2016 so the definitley can afford to raise pay rates especially if they’re one of the companies that’s been avoiding taxes like Coca Cola, google & etc...
correct. We also need to end the corporate buyback program that Bush passed. Re write the law so it can't be used to pump and dump
The south? Man it’s a big business across the globe
No way the Haitians should be living like that where is all the money !!!!!!
If you watched the video the USA companies and governement and haitian government pockets the money for themselves. Stop sending money to random people. I never donated
the storie is about latino but they nasty fuck ass have to use haitian for the magazin cover
Sure the Dominican republic is right onthe same island ... its a big tourist spot ... the worlds such a mess
@@dericcollins8502 dont you think thats racism to say that?
@@chriskinsella7201 no chris im not try to be racism some time. thats how the world go
Wowwwwww.. So who's getting the 14 bucks an hour for the 20 prisoners they have in the fields.. For profit prison.. Next video 🤷🏽♂️
These Vice videos are so fricken amazing. World class journalism. I'm so grateful. I can't thank you guys enough. I'm a different person because of the education I have been able to have because of you. PS: Great talent from top to bottom. So cool.
Money is truly the root of all evil.
The love of it...
Agreed!
So is the lack of money.
Prisoners we’ll work if you make it worth it to them.
Prisoners will work just to get out of their cell. It's expensive housing prisoners, they SHOULD pull their weight, as it were.
The background music is TOO MUCH! LOL
That what you get Alabama. Good job!
exactly... pretty much the entire country will suffer the same if Donald Trump wins lol...
+No Name That Donald Trump dude's life will be in danger if he even has a remote chance of being chosen as a president. Lmfao.
+Jane Carter true.
+Jane Carter You should be prosecuted.
+dept “wardept” dept For what, sir?
The sound is poorly mixed - music in one ear, voices in the other.
+Daniel Miller Im glad im not the only one who has noticed that! Its been that last several episodes released on this channel with very poorly mixed audio. Loud thru the left speaker music spewing out of the right one.
+Daniel Miller I thought my speaker wire was loose... Glad I'm also not the only one to notice.
Clearly their premium cable funding are being funnelled elsewhere.
+Daniel Miller It's so bad I actually can't sit and watch this. A shame because I really wanted to check this out.
March Fifth Yea. The irratation factor of really wanting to watch something of interest, yet cant due to pure uploader error.
Well I hope 🔥HELL🔥 is going to be packed. There doing the same thing about the homeless all over this nation .
Alabamians will work, provided that they are paid a livable wage.
Otis Carter 😂😂😂
And I should get paid $15 an hour for flippin burgers.
Sure! 🙄
So then the farmers should pay more? But only to white people of course. Mexicans can easily get by on $1/hour. Why not? Keep enjoying the section 8 home and those 600$ a month food stamps. My people will make sure that you are able to get it every month after month while you “go to school” or whatever you do.
Ok, so then your grocery bill increases by about 300%
"Dey took our jaabbbss!!!"
South Park lol
no, they took the jobs nobody wanted in the first place, took less pay, payed taxes towards OUR system benefitting US. I don't see people lining up to pick tomatoes and strawberries. Maybe America could tone down the lazy a bit and perhaps havens sense of empathy.
erik nyjdam I have family picking fruits... No complaints from me with ur comment.
+Stoney Lonsome he makes a good point so The only person looking like an Ass is you. Even if he missed the Reference.
+Stoney Lonsome I think he got your reference but it's a big enough issue to piss enough people off that they could give a fuck about your South Park joke.
Farmers get what they pay for. You can't pay Americans the same wage as a illegal and expect production. That's a no brainer.
They were pay more with benefit dumb ass. The problem non of them want it even for 15 dollars or 20 dollars. they do not want it. only latinos can do it.
Manage that is not true.
They pay by the bucket
I know they pay by bucket but more then what they pay the latinos and they even gave them benefits which the latinos never get and still they quit. This is not the first time this happen. It is happening now in Britain after they kicked out Eastern European because false hopes that the right wings sell to idiots that vote for them. What is killing American workers are the big corporation that refuse to pay higher wages and the demise of Union thanks to Republican and corporates American that have gone full force to destroyed the union. Under the Union workers at Walmart should atleast get 15 dollars but since American are dumb and end up voting for Republican that is what you get.
Manar M why pay high wages when you can pay illegals cheap? That is the reason wages are stagnated and unions do nothing. Nothing you stated makes any sense. Democrats supports illegals. Trump2020!!!
All that happened in Haiti was the split up the donations between themselvesit's really sad and pathetic and those guys deserve to go to hell for what they're doing to their own people....
Evan Serrano y
Own people? Did you not watch the video? It’s white Americans and foreign “aid” groups coming to pollute the water, use the land and resources for their own gain, and create horrible lives for the locals. The hat Ian people did nothing wrong here
Man I wish I could work with vice. You guys have some of the best stories I've seen
Love this episode!!.. when ever I hear someone say some BS about “immigrants” taking our jobs, I’m going to Force them to watch the first half! & if someone said that the government doesn’t lie to us/is not corrupt, the second will be played.
You left one big word out of your statement and that word would be illegal
Its wrong and racist to let them work for less than a legal immigrant. Why not just go threw legally?
The first half just shows how illegal immigrants are being exploited if they had the option to make a better wage they wouldn’t be working for nothing either
Bruh, ain't no one want them illegal immigrants' jobs anyway. Let them be, they're struggling like us.
Foreal tho. People swear like "illegal" immigrants are out here living the life.
+1001001010 110101 Yeah, you have a point. I'm saying, clearly these immigrants are taking the low pay but is working harder.
. I think they deserve the job positions because they're willing to get less but work for more. It's really sad that this is their conditions but of course, they aren't part of America's system. So there's nothing we can really do. Man, I've seen some Mexicans on the border, waiting for something to happen. It ain't going to happen, man. They're done for but all they have is hope. This what drives them to be more hard-working. Something is better than nothing.
+Jane Carter Taking less for more sets a standard of slave conditions. Instead of a quality safe job it is a shit job. Like sending shit to china to be made. Sounds great on the surface then you realize no body in your country can make a fucking thing and some shit hole country can pull your strings and manipulate your economy. Mexicans need to make Mexico better and Americans need to make America better.
Naked Acres Why can't Mexicans help America get better? They're obviously willing to do the work.
El Jay Because they come and work for shit wages and drive down the quality of jobs in the area. They could help by demanding a living wage and making the ass hole farmers take care of them like civilized people. The only people who honestly benefit are big Ag and the people who run the slaves. Nobody wins, but them.
Thank you for bring Mr. Decote back to us Thank You.
That is disgusting!! I, long ago, stopped giving money to organized charities because I suspected that very little trickled down to the people who actually needed it. This doc brings it to light. There's a reason why so many poorer countries are so poor, the bullies of the planet make sure they remain that way... Where do we go from here? How can we change this?
Alabama hold this L. Glad they suffered after they passed that horrible bill
Pervis Coltrain your GDP also took a hit which trickles down to the states infrastructure.
@@jrcell5832 that's a bit to big of a concept for that fool to understand
Josh Lewis haha so savage my dude.
@@perviscoltrain6349 ... Oh you one of them dumbass Republican Southerners that everyone is laughing at... Y'all some dumb gullible son's of bitches lmao... Bama bama bama lmao dumb as a box of rock's... Lmao
Hahaha , that's because white people want to be the boss all the damn time instead of working. It's amazing how so many white people say that black people are lazy when it's actually vice versa. I'm not talking about all white people, so please don't take that as me saying that all white people are lazy. But what I am saying, and this is me being a welder, most of the white people that I work with always want to be in charge or be the supervisor or the boss never want to get their hands dirty and just want to tell me what to do. This shit is so funny
As a white working man. This is so true. So many people think they are above being a janitor or something less than they want.
I do see it all the time I do live in a very nice neighborhood and if the hire Mexicans to do the and they see black Americans they will leave trash all over the place. But when when it was black and white Americans they cleaned up behind themselves
The guy hit the nail on the head. It's not that American's wont do the jobs, we just wont do them for the same small amount of money. You have to pay Americans more. Would food prices increase? Yes, but unemployment will go down. As the middle and upper class pay more for food and poor Americans earn more for picking it, the wealth gap will decrease. What we are doing by importing cheap foreign labor is disrupting the natural law of supply and demand in this country and that is one of the major reasons we have higher unemployment and income inequality.
All respect to that Afro.american. 🍺💀🙌👊from a strwbarries farmer in CAL from Michoacan Mexico
Puro morelia
Repect to you also trump in a dump
you're paying the inmates 20 cents per hr. What do you expect?
Dee Curry that’s good for people in prison ,they don’t have 20 dollar good and shit most of it is like .25-10 dollars for food and soap and other stuff
18 million on a socer field 🤦🏻♂️
This is one of the most disgusting misuse of funds. Those people took that 18 million dollars. All they did was put a fence around sime dirt and planted grass.
NOW HOW IN THE HECK CAN YOU PLAY SOCCER WHEN YOU ARE THIRSTY AND HUNGRY? WHERE ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO GET THE ENERGY FROM?
ALSO WHO WANTS TO PLAY SOCCER WHEN THEIR FAMILY IS STARVING AND DYING !
WHERE WAS HABITAT FOR HUMANITY?
GOD WILL PUNISH ALL THOSE WHO DID NOT HELP HAITI REBUILD BUT INSTEAD STOLE THE MONEY.
They do this in America. In Lou, KY, schools are falling down and all we do is build stadiums and hotels. No money for the schools. No different.
Democrats like the corrupt Clinton's along with corrupt Haitians stole that money.
Ochoa Tv, that made me sick. 18 million could have helped so many Haitians, completely illogical.
lol lady how much effort do you expect the chain gang to put in?!
"It looks like America. There's paved streets, running water, electricity." Typical American exceptionalist BS. Many communities in the US, particularly inner cities, lack such amenities.
U.S. Aid should have bee used to build: modern sewer systems & treatment plants, wells & water purification plants for clean water distribution. It should have been spent on 1,000s of modest hurricane resistant homes, schools, hospitals, & roads.
you got my vote
I hate these programs that try to make it out as if there were no illegal immigrants these jobs would not be getting done... That is complete bull. All jobs will be worked by someone in the country that is such absolute crap. they just will not be getting done as cheap that's all... Give me a f****** break.
Do you kiss your cousin with that mouth?
wtf? english please lol
+Zoe Vee Your point is???? You're obviously just a racist.
+Zoe Vee Hey you are right ! who did it before they did. However Must blame the government for collecting all that farm subsidy stuff. they pay the stupid breds nothing and bank millions. If you don't believe it just punch in Farm subsidies and have a look. Here is a name you can use , a farmer in Fauquier County Virginia. Almara farm

Turth 7:30 Lol 😂😂😂
Man I don’t remember Delmas 33 looking like this 😥😥
i grew up in alabama and it's unreal how stereotypical this shit is. i realize alabama is fucked up in a shit ton of ways, but where the fuck isn't?
+Timothy Clark
We're all a bit racist...just some of us take it too far :D
If tom had spent a week in Alabama besides in bumble fuck nowhere he wouldn't say the same thing. Besides, it isn't fair to say that people can break laws and not pay taxes because they are good workers. I admire Hispanics and Latinos but please realize that if you want to get along you have to go through the law first. The whole "Americans don't want their jobs" thing is a problem with American culture getting used to having immigrant workers do everything. The only way to solve that is out of necessity.
Furthermore I see the fact that the family unit in America was much different 100 years ago and even as recently as 40 years ago. That is one thing Mexicans have in spades compared to Americans. The breakdown of the family unit in America has destabilized our entire culture, because when someone doesn't have an identity they are lost.
+Beau Truex yea, it does seem we have lost ourselves.
+Beau Truex What this story really highlights isn't the immigrant problem, it's the USA problem. A problem called "pussification" of a nation. The reporter can't pick up a damn watermelon. The prisoners are given an opportunity to do *something* positive, and they just blow it off. And nobody from the area wants to do an honest day's work for honest pay. Many Americans from kids to 30s have become weak, lazy, arrogant and selfish.
Not many are willing to live with their aging parents, or help raise their grandchildren. Used to be that staying with your family homestead to contribute was responsibility. Then values shifted so that everyone goes off to live their own life, and success means staying away from home.
@@jessicam2840 Your right! My aunt and I talk about this a lot. Family members not willing to be close to one another need to stop.
HEY VICE EXCELLENT STORY . QUESTION... WHAT ABOUT THE CLINTON FOUNDATION AND THEIR IMPACT ON HAITI ? THAT WOULD BE A GREAT STORY BY ITSELF
you need to do more documentaries like this exposing your crooked govt
huh....it's almost as if capitalism needs an underclass to exploit in order to give CEO's their million dollar christmas bonus'
dOols, I'd say remove "it's almost as if" and your statement is spot on.
Hmm...you may be on to something there...
Thomas is that type of white boy who can blend anywhere. I predict that he will be sent to North Korea to report on Kim’s Private Residence
LOL true
That state representative Ball looked (and sounded) like the warden in Cool Hand Luke....
Why do we pay unemployment and import labor at the same time?
Lol, I used to work in Wisconsin earning $8/hr and I was able to buy everything I need (food, clothing). After reading the comment section it made me feel like I have low standards. The apartment that they let me live in may be shitty for American standard but for me is 5x better than what we can rent back to my home country, something I consider wide enough for the two of us with TV, refrigerator, aircon/heater and microwave (water, rent and electricity bills already deducted to my salary). Work a little overtime and within just 1 month, I bought myself a high-end phone. My job, I just stand in a gift shop waiting for customers to buy items (and no we don't get tips). I thought it wasn't that bad though :D Even made a side trip to Chicago. I don't know if I set my standards low or Americans are just spoiled.
B D M you obviously are lying and have no concept of reality. In other words your full of shit
Your employer had no insurance for you in case you hurt yourself or died on the job, among other things. Employers know that they would have to pay a lot of money for an American including the wage.
Americans are spoiled and I say this coming from a wealthy country, they're spoiled. If I can see that they're spoiled and my country is wealthier than there's I think it should be obvious to everyone.
They don’t understand that in some states you don’t need to pay 1500 a month to live good. As long as you’re happy say fuck a hater
Spoiled
Ive worked side by side with the Mexican immigrants . honestly they do a good job but I have seen how they cut corners in the name of production and I prefer a balance of both quality and production especially when it involves eliminating the American worker that does a better quality job because that are payed a competive wage.
Actually, I've seen them do Fast work, and work three times as hard as necessary to do it...but I've never seen one do Good work.
The employer does not care about quality of work. It just has to be good enough to market and make a profit.
Wow, this was eye opening. Great work.👍👍
Here in Canada we let Mexicans in to work the fields every year. The send the money home. When the season ends they also go home. That is the right way to do it. The Mexicans I see are hard working people and I have no problem with this. These worker are here legally. I do have a huge problem with people walking across our border illegally to sponge off of us.
Why do people disliked the vid, vice is just documenting it
+h3h3Productions It depends on whether individuals are judging the content of the video, or the quality of the video itself!
Some people come to dislike to show how Vice went downhill with the other videos. They kind of stink and the fact that it's not available in certain countries.
What John Smith said.
You can pay 5 dollars for a watermelon if it's farmed by illegal immigrants, or 25 dollars if it's farmed by American citizens. Of course this isn't taking into account future technology or demographic changes.
It wouldn't be that drastic. And, more working US Citizens means more money spent in Our economy, instead of Western Union to Mexico or South America.
Karma will get all of we grocery store farmers when there are very little fruits and vegetables to farm.
my right ear really enjoyed hearing this
I feel like that dude is trying to make handling watermelons seem harder than what it is. Lol
Alabama's food is going to skyrocket. Either by scarcity & having to import, or by all the other non latino workers demanding higher pay. It will probably choke out local farmers to a extent as well so there goes a chunk of your organic crop.
Automation has killed much more jobs than any illegal immigrant has. It was one of the reasons why local farmers had to use them so much in the fields. They can't keep up with all the super store GMO brands out there.
Warhippie acutely your wrong 😂
excellent journalism
So called black people are built YAH TUFF.
FATHER YAH WILL NOT LET US BE STOPPED EVEN WHEN WE THINK OTHERWISE. ALL THE GLORY AND PRAISE TO THE MOST HIGH YAH 👑👣👑👣👑👣👑🕊
A legal guest worker program could solve the whole illegal issue, but that would be just too simple. It's also harder to abuse and/or control legal people. The Haiti fiasco looks like big business as usual.
Actually no it wouldn't cause we already have similar stuff in place and people just overstay their visas
Pretty much, That is what I have been saying for years..
If they put in place a visa work programs for migrants to work the farm jobs that no Americans are trying to work anyway..
it is a win win situation.
Setup a website where farm owners post how many labor workers they need and what type of work needed done.
Allow migrant workers to apply for farm jobs online...
If they are hired.
They are finger printed in their native country and receive their temporary work visa..
As long as the migrant has a farm owner vouching that they are working for them. The migrant worker can stay on with the same work visa..
farm owners have to choose on the website if the Job is a open contract, meaning until the need is gone...
or If it is a short set time frame of worked needed.
They should not how every be able to take jobs from Americans in other industries like the fast food restaurants and grocery store.
Which are normally first time jobs for teens...
Because if the teens of America cant get jobs to get money...
they might get money the wrong way...
But yes America needs migrant workers.. I dont see what is so hard to understand about that... These serve a very important need...
It just need to have common sense checks and balances in place.
So that the process runs better....
Why they using reggae background music, not kompa, kadans, zouk, etc?
WeekzGod cause WE all I AM
That is what is important to you? Unbelievable! You must be very young, but you have to start growing up at some point-- sooner rather than later
Or why the interviewer doesn't speak french.
scrambo mills WHAT???
Who gives a fuck about the music. There are much more serious things going on this video . IDIOTS SMH
Can i be President of 🇭🇹Haiti?? Im NOT Haitian, I dont want anything just to help this Country. Whatever the President gets paid, i would build a school, Build Jobs, Build House's, Schools, Factories, Plant Tree's, build a Port and increase Trade Relationships to improve the Economy.
Of course 🙏🏿🇭🇹
I'd like to do something to help them too. The f-in greedy corrupt companies and corrupt politicians are going to hell.
If the state would not give money to those that don’t work. Let anyone get hungry and they’ll work
The use of prison chain gangs should be mandatory. What are prisoners doing other than being taxpayers' problems? Hard farm work would break them out of boredom+ back that last attitudes most prisoners have about work+ break most of the amoral personalities most prisoners have; you just have to be tenacious+ stick to it no matter what hard time the prisoners give you. Prison chain gangs doing hard& farm labor should be mandatory because idle hands are the devil's workshop& this axiom is especially true when it comes to males& men‼
Love that's slavery
@@2ATILLTHEYBURYME That's not slavery. They broke laws and are living off of the tax payer's dime. Somebody didn't just trap them and put them in that situation. They put themselves in that situation by poor life choices. They're not being abused just put to work. Heck, they may even learn a trade out of it to be able to do something with their lives after they get out.
@@akbrooks70 go fuck yourself and move to Russia!
Guess you gotta teach your kids how to farm because you gotta eat... The system doesn't work... This is not sustainable. But replays of Sex, and the City will be on tonight showing us what a wonderful cosmopolitan life we could all be living in a city that can't sustain itself, and how liberated we are... Its a trippy game...
+Clari26 yea, it would be nice if everyone tried to grow food on their own. I would think people would really understand more.
“Took a page out of history,” you mean modern day slavery.
I'm Hispanic born & raised in NYC. I always feared being stationed in places known for its inbred racism like Alabama, Mississippi , Georgia, etc etc. I preferred to be in the dangerous Vietnam , rather than have to live in a place historically full of racial hatred. The present day institutionalized immigration - based racism proves my racial hatred theory. Prejudiced lawmakers prefer to ruin the farmers and their harvests rather than pass some equitable immigration legislation. These incompetent lawmakers are ruining their own country as well as committing financial suicide on the part of both the construction & farming industries.
The market and the population will adjust. Mass migration is a very bad idea longterm.
Pray for Haiti..."Yeshua/Jesus is the way"
damn bruh that dude was having trouble picking up a watermelon.
Jajajjajajaj and the guy says where the money go!! ??? And that's the universal question!
This guy is like the reporter that acted like a sissy after shooting an AR-15.
Teach your kids how to work, accountability, responsibility and that they aren't entitled!
Went from cheap labor to slave labor. Next they'll say "there are some poor people in Africa who aren't doing anything, think they like boats?".
New York needs to do the same thing
2 very easy solutions
Use legal immigrants
Pay workers a fair wage
Very simple
and be ready to pay more in the store
Charles Anguiano Milk and eggs have gone up almost 400% in the last 7 years and I bet it hasn’t affected your life too drastically. If the product is worth buying people will pay what the product is worth. I will gladly pay a few cents more knowing the workers who picked my food weren’t exploited and were paid a fair wage. Wouldn’t you?
and be ready for your taxes and product price to shoot thru the roof.
