[@keesversluis]

Usually the conditions of these workers are very much hidden from governement, and get imported as so called immigrant workers with good conditions, atleast thats how it looks on paper. But in reality things are very different, look at the tomato picking scene in italy, or the north korean or chinese workforces spread around the entire world, that are stuck in camps and get paid zero next to nothing, and always with a threatening motivation to keep them going, either a potential passport or their families back at home which are reliant on them actually surviving, on contract it says one countrry has a deal with another with completely valid contracts, but in reality the country thats sending them is keeping 95% of the earnings. Thats very hard for governments to track and im sure there is some bribery going on in critical locations to keep it from coming to peoples attention. As long as we have a free market in a world with inequality, this will happen, there will always be people that value profit over anything else if we continue in a money driven society

@@theintrovertedaspie9095hey bro? No, no we aren't by nature at all. we literally evolved because we took care of each other, we literally have records of a prehistoric disabled woman who died with CAVITIES, A mother shields her child. in a lot of societies when human beings were developed the idea of a traditional family did not exist, children were raise collectively by a community. Biology is an important connection but it's not the only one, it's some thing that we see across with cross species and orphan animals being raised by fosters of the same kind. Idk dude if you somehow have never had the experience of loving someone like family who isn't biological but it's like,,, no different. If you raise a child from birth, you will love that child as your own. I much rather live in a world where i have less, so everyone has more. Human nature is filled with stories of beautiful love and support, why did people make vaccine patents free? Why did the Quakers risk imprisonment to help the underground railroad- We are collective, Human beings literally go fucking INSANE when we are alone. We need people, pre all this we lived in collective societies. Why do you think people latch so hard onto group identies? because everyone is looking for that feeling of belonging. Negative or positive. Cults are another proof of this, their targets are often those who are struggling, cult recruitment involves lovebombing and a feeling of belonging. Human beings needs each other, but in the past it was the lack of land, food, supplies. our wars and violence still are the difference is now, with how developed we are we don't need to be acting how we are. But greed is powerful. especially with how important we have made money and how the rich do not see the poor as people, and for the most part those part are bipoc because of the history of slavery, which changed to being racial for profit. After all, it's cheaper to make a group of humans non humans then to treat them like humans in the first place. Rn if you told me if I died then slavery world wide would end I would do it in a heartbeat, i think any reasonable person would. also sorry this comment is just so bad i'm on a roll- Humans beings developed because of hunting and gathering, that can't be done alone. You hunt in groups, you harvest together. We are on one level individuals of course, but to exist you do so in harmony. We can't pretend human beings aren't animals but we can't pretend we have no humanity. We are animals that got smart enough to solve every problem, but invented reasons to be greedy enough to make sure it never happens. I'm begging you to do real research into human history, not the wars, not land, not money, not fame and riches but people. Maybe because i got experiences of what it's like when everyone farms, eats, plays, works together for the greater good all while protecting nature and all coming from different backgrounds and nobody being related for 7 years i know it's possible and when you don't experience someone you can't imagine a world with it but bro, human beings are amazing and beautiful.

The newer immigration policies make it almost impossible for migrant workers to fill higher demand jobs that UK and American citizens and legal migrants otherwise do not want. Lower income jobs are then exploited which result in more people trafficked to fill that demand. The illegal immigrants are punished then shipped back then the cycle begins again with more people trafficked to take their place.

Exactly! Not to mention that everyone coming isn’t just a nice person looking to work. Sure most people absolutely are but letting in too many that aren’t will dramatically increase crìme and danger to your own society. The fact that people are leaving dangerous areas means that not everyone is nice everywhere. I honestly can’t understand how not everyone understands this. Sure let people in but vet them, also anyone that gets caught committing vìolent crìme should definitely be sent back (which doesn’t happen, hardly anyone granted asylum is sent back no matter what terrible things they have done and continue to do). Funny how bringing this up, you instantly get labeled and they completely dismiss this is an issue. Anyone doubting me should look at areas in Italy that are unsafe and see who is there, see what types of crìmes are committed (like for example Castel Volturno). Other places in Europe too, are facing this problem.

I witness modern slavery when I was the in military, in a hospital, and in jail.

[@MikkoMurmeli]

I don't know if my forced locked-up hospital visit in Finland qualified as modenr slavery, because we weren't forced nor coerced to work... on the opposite, it just made me lethargic to the extreme. A waste of a human being, just a burden to everyone else. But yeah, those places dehumanize people, when they're supposed to do the opposite, so yeah.

[@beachesandcream27]

Wherever there is a barrier, there will be people willing to break the law/rules to get around it. This is true both in immigration and in the rest of business and life. The solution isn't to get rid of all obstacles or border restrictions... it is to address the underlying issues that are making mass amounts of people desperate enough to do anything to get around it.

There was a time where wealth was created in undeveloped nations and people moved to the undeveloped nations by the millions. This was the time of colonialism. Now we've reversed colonialism and instead of the first world invading the third the third is invading the first.

[@chloejohnson6861]

True, we need laws, but there can be fewer. When you create more rules, you create more criminals. I think we can look to times in history or other parts of the world and see how they did/do it. Unfortunately, it is becoming more complicated as there are just way more people on this planet now.☹

The problem is that there is an unlimited number of victims that can not possibly be absorbed by any country. It is gaslighting to act like taking in every victim is even possible. The solution lies at the source.

The problem in my view is that as humanity only thinks of hem or herself, all humanity has a responsibility in all these issues. All sides lack the will and knowlegde and humbleness to really tackle all issues facing humanity. It is easy for a reporter in her comfy home to be indignated and it is easy to point fingers to governments on the other hand governments have a general 4 year view awaiting the next election to keep their well paid seats. It is heart rending to see people suffering and even dying but there is nothing new under the sun. This is a one sided view, and though it is true and well made still it is just 1 facet of the entire picture.

This is a complex, multi-faceted issue. It would be helpful if this video focused more on actual viable solutions to this... Countries cannot let every migrant in freely otherwise they would sink. At the same time, they should not ignore issues of human exploitation. Redesigning immigration policies as well as updating Modern Slavery legislation is key. Joint responsibility by governments, businesses and NGOs would help to reduce the risk of human trafficking.

If Europeans are devils why are they (leftietards) encouraging "minorities" to move to places where there's white people? Leftietards aren't actually against slavery. They are at the forefront of encouraging the exploitation because they know races in the third world make good, loyal slaves who do all the jobs no one wants to do.

I’m not lifting the blame on the governments, but do any of those people talking and criticizing anti immigration policies in this vid contribute an idea to solve the issue? It’s too easy to just sit on the sidelines and criticize without giving a practical solution.

9:43 Putting all responsibility on consumers is going to have to reach a breaking point. 1) Consumers are not the only ones making decisions that lead to bad outcomes, and all who make choices must be held responsible for the consequences of their choices. 2) This includes decisions that are purely supply side and not under direct control of the consumer, so letting companies continually get a free ride (by way of lobbyists) cannot stand. 3) The divide exists to disempower regular folk so that those with the real power can get their way. 4) As a form of mass mind control, modern marketing sucks away much of consumer's autonomy, and that needs to be dealt with as well (put down that damn smart phone). 5) Many of the countries that these people flee from are impoverished because of politicians bought by the global banking industrial complex that hands their economies over to the international corporations that run them. 6) The major World powers have to cave to the global banking industrial complex.

When to eat. You believe you are free. Do you have a job? If you do then you have certain times you take breaks. You have a time to come to work as well as certain days or nights. You get up in the morning to prepare yourself to go to work. You come home and give yourself certain times to eat , shower and sleep. THAT IS CALLED CONTROLLED BEHAVIOR.
