Slave labor in Thousand Oaks, California? Eww. What do you think?
The suit alleges that Hand Wash, which is located at 2725 Thousand Oaks Blvd., knowingly employs undocumented workers whose lack of English skills and fear of immigration services make them easily exploited.
Hand Wash allegedly refuses to pay its employees for up to as much as the first month, after which employment may be severed without compensation if Hand Wash is not satisfied with their performance.

Why are people so critical of people who decide to date or marry someone non-American ?
THis is not the first time slave labor was found in THousand oaks. I love that city though. I remember a flower nursery had Thai slaves working there a while back. I do agree with Chili that the illegal immigrants should be paid back pay and damages, but only on their way out of this country.My father got a US petition but it has a wrong middle name in it.what affidavits does he need?
yes, illegal immigrants are exploited big time when it comes to working. the employers know they are already walking on pins and needles so they threaten them and pay them dirt.
What Is The Green Card Lottery?
It is wrong on all counts. 1 for hireing illegals in the first place then treating them like slaves. 2. Shut them down fine them heavily and deport the workers. Simple. Maybe it will make other companys take notice.
Who's right and who 's wrong pls details attached?
well, sounds like they would have a "better Life" in mexico lol.
What if we gave illegals citizenship or visa's?
Well I totally agree this is wrong so I'm with you on that. The issue of illegals bringing down wages is a lot more complex. For example at some point and time a car wash would just move to automatic washes before paying a high salary to the people who wash by hand because their customers wouldn't accept the increase in prices so there is a balance there.
Send them back to where they came from~They don't have any rights here~
What is the responsibility of our Border Patrol?
Just another reason why we need to enforce the border.prevent exploitation by coyotes, then employers.
Please tell me why this would not make me angry?
People who sneak in illegaly don't think about things like that. I suppose it doesn't occur to them that someone will try to take advantage of them.
I cannot believe constant threats of deportation can be much of factor. The police cannot even get known criminals deported, I do not believe that part. I must ask why didn't they contact La Raza if things were this bad ?
I think that was an accurate example of how most republican owned businesses are run when they use illegal immigrants which they seek out exclusively!
Americans, what is your opinion of our inmigrants?
Who made them work there?
Were they picked up by gunpoint and made to work?
Or did they enter this country illegally of their own accord and apply for employment illegally ?
Sounds to me like a personal problem for them- when you make bad choices bad things happen.
How do I go about moving to italy?
I'm sorry, I don't see the validity of the suit. Illegals proudly come here to undercut the minimum wage. They brag about it constantly. They don't want to be a part of the legal working class - their own words - so they can be protected from situations like this. I would be curious to know the nationality of the owners and managers of this car wash. I also fail to see how illegal anyone has the right to sue anyone. This is once again an argument in favor of supporting legal immigration. And no, for you bashers, I do not in any way condone what this business has done, but this is a criminal case not a compensation case and I hope they spend many, many years in jail for crimes against humanity!
How much for an immigration lawyer?
Well, maybe when they get deported they can tell their amigos how terrible they were treated. Hopefully, this will act as a deterrent. I have no sympathy at all for the illegal aliens because they brazenly entered ILLEGALLY on their own accord.
Now, the employer should be completely shut down and his business assets confiscated and the owner(s) should serve a long mandatory jail sentence for a list of crimes including hiring illegals, hiring practices/harassment, unfair wages, tax evasion, etc.
Are America's jails and prisons filled with Amish Immigrants?
The employer's butt should be in prison (and the rest of him too). He took advantage of these illegal alien criminals.
BTW, the illegals should still be deported since they aren't suppose to be here.
This question is for people with hateful attitudes toward immigrant only.?
Of course it is wrong that they were exploited? What is your point? The fact that they tried to work here is definitely NOT wrong! I'm glad they are getting sued!
Immigration Nightmare: I-485, advance parole, E and K visas for spouse?
I surely hope they win in court, and obtain a green card and monetary compensation for the abuse of the employer . that way it will send a message to the employers , to think about it . Employing an Illegal is wrong but also Abusing them is a crime .
The employer, if these facts are accurate, is horrible. He should be in jail FOR HIRING ILLEGALS.
The illegals should be deported for being here illegally. They came here by choice. They were not force to work for this scum bag. However, just because they worked for a bad man doesn't give the right to work here or to stay.
Hmm . . . "undocumented" equates to "illegal". Why should I care what happens to someone who is breaking the law just by being in this country? Maybe this'll learn 'em not to come back here illegally!
How can we help prevent the UK becoming a multi-cultural hell hole?
There is an exploitation law that will allow them to obtain legal permission to stay here, especially while they testify against the employer since it involved slavery. They will be given a green card in exchange for their testimony.
