Last week Thursday, lawmakers in Mexico requested various government agencies within Mexico to act on reports that the owners of a resort in The Bahamas have treated workers unfairly.
Mexican Senator Jose Zalvidea said that the company illegally took passports from Mexican employees.
The Senator said the resort threatened to turn workers over to Bahamian immigration authorities and that they could end up in jail.
Senator Zalvidea also suggested that workers were paid $80 a week instead of the $500 they were promised and were not allowed to leave the work area at lunchtime or after hours.
The Senate approved a request that Mexico should increase efforts to repatriate the workers.

"Mexico, 19 Feb (Notimex) .- The Senate asked the Federal Executive to initiate the repatriation of 65 Mexican deceptions carried with the Bimini Islands, Bahamas, and held illegally exploited by the company Rav Bahamas and / or Capo Group."
Okay this company has for too long been (allegedly) causing too much harm to my small nation. From the very beginning when they cleared my mangroves they needed to leave and the locals who approved that project needed to be given one good slap each.
