Big business controls the replicant market and they have a huge stake in making sure that the replicants don't start getting things like "rights" and "wages", and they make sure that people understand that replicants are "dangerous" and have no regard for "human" life. This is possibly the reason that replicants were given so much intelligence, they are easier to control and if they actually get loose they'll be sure to kill people in doing so. Logically people should give the replicants the same rights as humans, but they fear what they cannot control and sometimes the replicants cannot be controlled.
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
