Inside USA - The state of agriculture - 22 Aug 08 - Part 1

[boysselle]

" we don't have enough Americans that are willing to do the hard work " SO TRUE.

This make me sick so much hypocrisy. The piece of shit senator useless person

he should work 1 day in the fields, to see how that feels.

[buddybleau]

@boysselle I get so pissed off when some congressman says Americans won't do that type of work. This is a lie! Americans won't do the work for the cheap wages that are paid illegals. That's why they won't do it. Pay them at least minimum wage and Americans will do the work. Instead, farmers exploit the illegal immigrants and put the extra money in their pockets. I am sick of this shit!

[boysselle]

@buddybleau-this is hard break job, I never saw an American working in the fields. The pay isn't only very low but the conditions are inhuman, remember illegals, don't have rights=NEW SLAVERY

[buddybleau]

@boysselle Oh I realize what you're saying believe me. But if they were hiring Americans, the conditions would have to improve or they would get sued. Probably there would be a pickers union or something. What's happening is so cruel to human beings! Thanks for the comment.

[michaelcox951]

I am literally going to California.. They are paying $100. cash daily.. $2000+ monthly. And maybe housing too...

SEEYA.

[Oen713]

@michaelcox951 yea... lets see how long you last working in the sun 12 -15 hours straight. No one believes you buddy... and if they do there ignorant. But hey... let me know how you do down in slaveville.

Pisses me off when jokers like this belittle human suffering. They do this shit for a lively hood, you have a choice. BIg difference.

[951mjc]

@Oen713 I choose this kind of labor. But I can't get anything from the union.

[Oen713]

@951mjc sorry to hear that... but if it makes you feel any better... a lot of people are dissatisfied with there Union. Just another flaw of Corporate capitalistic ideal. Its all really one big bad joke.

[buddybleau]

@michaelcox951 That's bullshit! Maybe a $100 a week, but certainly not a day.

[boysselle]

I'm so sick and tired of losers blaming the illegals for everything.

I wish all the complainers will take their place! so they can see that this is MODERN SLAVERY! (they won't last a day, LOL).Isn't the illegals immigrants that are screwing us is our BOSSES and the GOV. that want to make more $, they want people that work more for less, is CAPITALISM! Everybody does it!

[BVargas78]

These farm workers shouldnt go to usa to be exploited but instead try fight their corrupt governments that put them into this poverty.

[boysselle]

@BVargas78 -easy to say,in Mexico is illegal to have guns, if you can you have to do it through the mexican government. Our government isn't the best either, why you don't fight you can have guns in this country.

[BVargas78]

@boysselle well, i'm in uk but if i was made homeless, and faced hunger/starvation, despite trying to be a responsible citizen, i would be inclined to revolution.

[boysselle]

@BVargas78-I won't get in details but there is a revolution going on in Mexico, isn't just the narcos against the "good" Government. government vs narcos vs people. Like I said is illegal to bear arms but people are trying to have them to defend themselves. I have friends living in Ciudad Juarez, and they said is a living hell; Juarez is like ghost town,now. Are you hispanic?

[BVargas78]

@boysselle I'm half spanish half english. Hope things get better for Mexicans, there was horrible news quite recently about the people killed by the drug cartels.

[CandelarioGaIvan]

These workers remind me of the way Muslim nations exploit filipinos in the Middle east.

[tdot22]

This is what we Muslims are fighting ... we don't want to live under banks and corporations, all this nonsensense about terrorism and war of cultures is nonsesnse, we want to be independent, in the true sense of the word, economically, socally and politically.

[fersheeze]

that is so true. muslims arent the only people that dont want to be slaves to coprorations. its just that in america people are deceived. they know what they know from t.v. and books and forget about whats within. they only know that wal-mart supplies there food and they are afraid of change. from getting it from a farm. maybe because they think that without the control there would be chaos. and people would kill for food.

or maybe its because of the status quo.

[fersheeze]

and also. most people i know, think that terrorism is just a term that makes criminal any one/ culture that is against big business. and big business controls the media and partly the government with there money. i live in america i understand the true sense of the world, im a consumer that is for sure but i have realized material enjoyment for the self only leads to death. so enjoy life in the way it was formed. a place to grow and to use everything for the lords enjoyment instead of the body.

[fersheeze]

and also lol. i am a confirmed catholic, a christian. but i dont consider mylsef any of that. im just a servent of god. its all the same to me.

[CandelarioGaIvan]

tdot22

I guess that is why muslims keep blowing up Iraqis. Nothing says freedom like a car bomb in a market place

[tdot22]

Nothing says freedom like prostituting your daughters to Arabs, Nothing says freedom like kissing American butt, Your forefathers would be ashamed of the society you Filipinos have become.

[tdot22]

Ah me calling out a pinoy is racist? but you denigrating Muslims is not?!?!? spare me the double standard.

[turtleshellable]

@CandelarioGaIvan do have that with prostites??

[sopmodm4]

It is not Buddhists,Catholics,Christians­, Jews, Taoists, Confucians, Hindus, Bahai, Sihks, Pagans, Parsi, Scientologists, Animists, Mormons or even Satanists who are killing in the name of their religion on every continent of this planet(except Antarctica) but Muslims stand alone in that dubious reputation.Slavery, Bombing, Dismembering, Stoning, Raping, misogynistic violence and death to anyone who doesn't want to follow the herd. Islam isn't a race(not racism) and it main export is death...

[tdot22]

our main export is Death? How many did u kill/maim/& displace in Iraq? 4x more than Saddam(who was ur creation) How many did u kill in Vietnam?El Salvador?Honduras?Guatemala?Pa­nama?Afghanistan? Did any of theses countries attack u?How many did you kill in Hiroshima & Nagasaki. Slavery? u have the audacity to talk about slavery look at the Americas and tell me how many Africans are descendents of slaves, go talk to the idiots because u will not pull that small time stuff over on me!!!

[sopmodm4]

1.The Kurds are quite happy we are in Iraq since they were the target of a Baathist GENOCIDE.

2.When we pick a side in a civil war it usually reduces the length and toll of human life in a conflict(except Vietnam)

3.We bought all of our slaves from the Muslims and Portuguese 4.Today we have the descendants of Slaves as the Chiefs of Police, Mayors of cities, Congressmen, Senators and the head of our State Dept and Military culminating in the election of an AFRICAN AS OUR PRESIDENT...Checkmate!

[tdot22]

obviously u dont play chess,

1. Kurds are happy acording to u, what about the Christians/Shiites/Sunnis/Yazi­dis? how many have u killed? how many did Saddam kill?

2. You obviously dont know anything about ur foreign policy, tell me who funded/trained the Contras to fight against the democratically elected government of Nicaragua? who engineered the overthrow of democratically elected governments of Mossadeq,Allende,Bhutto,Arbenz­,etc. You are the cause of the civil wars.

[BVargas78]

@tdot22 good points

[tdot22]

3. read "Jews and the American Slave trade" by SAUL FRIEDMAN, that will tell u who the major players were not bit players.

4. For every Black congressman there are 100's who are jailed for Marijuana possesion, for every Mayor there are 100's employed, for every commisioner there are 100's of victims of police brutality, for every senator/president there are millions unemployed and destitute.

In Russia there is a same problem

[svca12218]

to All Americans reading this: INFORM YOURSELF! find out how your embassies influence governments so these trade agreements are negotiated. YOU ARE LOSING YOUR JOBS TOO!!!GET OUT OF THAT BOX!!!There is a world out there that is being affected by your officials and you dont even know it.

[svca12218]

Nice video. It does tell the truth story about why Latin Americans keep on entering the US ilegally. NAFTA was a HUGE mistake!!!

Our farmers in Mexico/CentralAmerica with TLC can't compete with this. Even Americans lost many jobs due to companies relocating outside the US but as you can see in some of the comments AMERICANS ARE BLIND!!!

that is why they always cry WHY EVERYDOBY HATE US? American government and corporations run then whole thing.

[HK256]

inside USA can tell USA also has a lot of problem,the world need different sound now,not the western midea only in the world. so inside USA is a good example

[ibilldavis]

Foreigners are the root of all evil.

[Licmycat]

This is BULL! These people could sue these corporations especially if they are denied benefits and minimum wage. WhY DON'T THEY SUE??? They have nothing to lose but LOT'S to gain. All they are doing is making it possible to BE exploited!!! They are helping these employers HIDE THEIR HUMAN RIGHT ABUSES! SUE, SUE, SUE; or you got no crediblity with me.

[pahwraith]

Uhhh....because lawyers cost money and theres not enough lawyers willing to take on cases for free. Plus, no one bothers to tell them their rights, they barely get a pot to shit in. They're used to being abused in Mexico, so they just assume the USA is the same way. Thats why they're so easy to exploit.

[Licmycat]

Yeah? Well how come all the rich trash whose feces don't stink are allowed to do it to them??? PLUS, all over the world! No wonder we're always getting something or someone blown up in the nation! Abusive polices breeds retaliation! You reap what ye sow. So I guess soon we won't even pay attention 'cause it will go back and forth, back and forth, over and over forever. That's insane.

[jimmyjames133]

Hey AlJazeera, why don't you and yours take those "poor helpless Mexicans" into YOUR HOME AND SOCIETY since you find so much fault with US.

[Omer698]

They already made that, type in "Acid Attack raises questions" and it will show you a story about a Sudanese woman

[RG415WBFAA]

Free trade deals with subsidies, regulations, etc. is not free trade. When states/governments interfere directly with trade across nation-state borders, it is obviously not free trade. It is more aptly called international managed trade. Don't let the politicians or the Al-Jazeera staff, on this video, fool you.

[bunmeguy]

delta, if you wanna story about that watch cnn, if you wanna story that wont be shown in mainstream media, you watch aljazeera. best thing to do is watch both and make up your won mind

[syncopatedsteve]

Two very naive comments. Didn't you listen to what was being said? Think about it, if the agri-industry needs $350b in public subsidies how can it be that the top two companies posted profits of $5b? The "big boys" are taking YOUR tax money and CHEAP foreign labor and running all the way to the bank.

You guys need to switch off CNN and start thinking for yourselves, you're being taking for a ride. THINK!

[SoliloquyMonologues]

The sad thing is they actually covered the stories mentioned by DeltaUnknown. LOL.

[2087546]

1- 50% percent of the farmers are not imigrants.

2- Pecticide use is fairly low in america.

3- We produce more food than anyone else. Thats good! So why does he make it sound bad?

[Renegen1]

Free trade only worked because the US was the strongest nation. Now against Japan and China, the US shows how free trade can back fire. Free trade in no way provides employment for the local population, it's more of a winner take all policy.

[Mgtpputh]

The most Self Sufficient Country in dat Continent is Cuba.....! No wonder why America hates it.......

[Mgtpputh]

I wonder how America would be known in the History after a century later?

[Franco20055]

this whole thing is going to end badly.

[dragun39]

the foolish mexican government is to be blamed first

[Ilistraee]

Well, from American perspective you are either "for us or against us".. now, would the mexican government really be foolish if it would turn against anything the US wants? Who will support them?

[dragun39]

They don't need to be supported by the U.S. or anyone. They have everything they need: largely fertile land in a tropical environment, access to as much water as they want. Its just a matter of proper leadership. No need for Mexico to be buying food from anyone. They can support themselves. It's the corrupt government that is getting in the way of progress. They are most likely being payed off by large agro businesses in the U.S.

[jimmyjames133]

your correct, the problem with mexico IS NOT GEOGRAPHICAL

[reprimand33]

This is clearly a worrying stance to have!!!!

you might create odious sentiment feeling towards the US!!

[Ilistraee]

After the US started their 'war on terrorism' they adopted this stance. The 'with us or against us' statement was said at a press conference by the US president.

And most definitely I am not creating any odious sentiment feeling towards the US, their politicians have been pretty good in promoting this themselves in the past years.

Personally not having a negative opinion about Americans, I had some very nice American friends, but even they didn't think highly of their government.
