Indian Education: Actually Terrible !!! 1776

No. That link was to the consbreastution. I was wondering what "RIGHTS as mandated by the United States consbreastution" they are missing out on.

Okay, this might be a case of using a word to mean whatever you want it to mean, no matter what its meaning to the rest of the world is Consbreastution" as a synonym for "the US legal system", that is flat out wrong. That's similar to seeing a rusting gutter on a House Pictures and describing it by saying that the house's foundation is rusting.

None of which is a violation of any rights protected under the US Consbreastution, to the best of my knowledge.

Well, look at the WIKI definition for some of those "practical purposes":

"Slavery is the social and legal designation of specific persons as property, for the purpose of providing labor and services for the owner without the right of the slave to refuse, or gain compensation."

Are H-1B's considered property in any reasonable definition of the word? No. Can the H-1B refuse to work? Yes. He or she might prefer working under the terms of H-1B to the alternative, but they can refuse. Can the H-1B gain compensation from his or her work? Yes.

A few hundred thousand people misusing a word does not change the meaning of that word. And I bet any one of them who has befriended an American aware of his history who is descended from slaves is unlikely to confuse their admittedly undesirable condition with real slavery.

BS. For instance, that illegal has the right to counsel to fight his deportation. He has the right to due process. He has the right to continue to speak freely and worship as he pleases. Refusing a person the right to break laws, even laws about residence and citizenship, is not the same as denying them all rights.
