Migrant Workers The Temporary Foreign Workers allows Canadian employers to hire foreign nationals to fill temporary labor and skill shortages when qualified Canadian citizens or permanent residents are not available for the migrant.

modern slavery. This takes the form of migrant workers and their systematic oppression, marginalization, and abuse. Although migrant workers, by definition, are compensated for their labor and therefore cannot be considered slaves, they are often not paid enough, lack the ability to exercise their natural human rights, and are held against their will. These problems arise mainly due to the fact that no sovereign state feels responsible for these migrant workers. While they are citizens of their sending

Introduction The production of agricultural products in the United States is dependent on the hand labor provided by migrant agricultural workers. However, this population is at higher risk for certain chronic illnesses that must be monitored frequently. With most of them working long hours, English illiterate and living in a poor socioeconomic status, access to preventive health care services becomes very challenging. Different solutions to tackle this challenge have been proposed, including mobile

on manual labor that is provided by farm-workers who are involved in harvesting, planting, plants processing, houses packing and facilities preparation that are connected to farming (Bruhn 79). Most of the farm-workers are Latin American migrants and minor representations from other regions. Migrant farm-workers in America are a representation of one group that exists among the most marginalized and less served population in the state.

Once working in the U.S., undocumented migrant laborers are perfectly exploitable. Because they are not citizens or on work visas, they essentially have no rights in the minds of some farms. Farms may provide poor quality housing, but no other work benefits. Agriculture doesn’t have to pay hourly minimum wage, so instead workers are paid by piece rate: employment in which a worker is paid a fixed rate for each unit produced no matter the time invested. In some areas, farms make it appear that they

Flushing Migrant farm workers in America go through struggles that middle class and privileged people of any race couldn’t even begin to comprehend without deep research. The types of pain that migrant farm workers endure on a day to day basis is incredible. As the consumers in a modern capitalist society, middle-class Americans are the reason that migrant farm workers have to raise their kids preparing them to work in servitude. The migrants don't want to work in the harsh
