These particular migrants are being blamed for spreading the covid-19 disease. Other behavior towards the migrants include, "unlawful killings; enforced disappearances; torture and other ill-treatment; rape and other sexual violence;arbitrary detention;and forced labour and exploitation at the hands of state and non-state actors in a climate of near total impunity." These refugees when escaping are often caught on waters by European Union States, and returned to Libya, where they face punishment. When they are purely searching for a better life, they are treated as criminals and individuals who aren't wanted by anyone. ]]> 2020-12-04 19:28:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kjavier/ll4sdffkhqry2r8i/wish/988953599 kjavier https://padlet.com/kjavier/ll4sdffkhqry2r8i/wish/988994824 One issue that has been frequently brought up with migration is the illegal ways in which they get to the countries they desire.

More than 200 migrants worked on this farm, doing incredibly hard work, and earning incredibly low wages. These migrants were also living in incredibly dangerous and unsanitary conditions. These criminals referred to the migrant workers as "monkeys" and not as humans, which is the biggest issue. Migrants are human as well. ]]> 2020-12-04 19:43:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kjavier/ll4sdffkhqry2r8i/wish/989012204 kjavier https://padlet.com/kjavier/ll4sdffkhqry2r8i/wish/989035310 Jail companies and corporations have figured out that if they employ migrants and immigrants that are civil detainees, they will pay about 25 cents to 1 dollar each hour to these individuals, instead of paying the $7.25 federal minimum wage fee. A civil detainee who worked in the jails stated, "I went from making $15 an hour as a chef to $1 a day in the kitchen in lockup... And I was in the country legally."
