    Okay, but, also?

    Those migrant workers are so superexploited that they were considered cheaper before anti-imigration policies made them too scarce.

    Slavery was here the whole time.

      Maybe the issue isn’t ultimately the immigration laws or the prison complex. Maybe they’re just proximate causes, like symptoms of some deeper issue. Maybe it has something to do with greed and exploitation?

      Idk just spitballing here

          Idk… That sounds a lot like commie talk and we can’t cotton to that in the states.

          /s but also not :( I wish the states had stronger labor laws that benefitted the worker and protected against exploitation
