Graft

Jeffrey Mann Graft is the use of one's job to gain profit. It was used much by Boss Tweed, the creator of the New York political machine, to take advantage of immigrants. So when an immigrant came to America they are convinced into giving a vote for a particular person and do other such things in exchange for a home and a job with poor conditions and probably was apoor trade. All in all, that is how graft works.
