That sounds like you are speaking with a forked tongue....? And both sides of your mouth
There is little doubt that employers on both sides of the border exploit these people.
Perhaps you may want to consider this land has already been taken from its rightful owners/inhabitants on more than on occasion. I think it is a little late to fawn and distinguish ones self with the rules. Perhaps we should distinguish ourselves with a broad acceptance of what we have done and return more of their lands to them other than deserts, industrial slavery, including dispensing with the attitude we are doing these native inhabitants a favor. This issue is much deeper than the self-rightous superiority and greed of aggressive European immigrants.
The Europeans stole North America,ie; Canada, USA and Mexico from these people.
Just the tip of the iceberg Grace. *(:>*
