And that, folks, is the replacement for the whip-wielding overseer: work for me, as long and hard as I tell you, for whatever I feel like paying you, or your family will starve. In some ways, modern slavery is worse than what we abolished 150 years ago.

You're friggin' nuts!

None of these illegals is forced to stay here.

The truth is, whatever they're making here is likely three or four times more than they were paid in Mexico.

Which is why they've come in the first place.

Comparing this to slavery is pure demagoguery.

Comparing this to slavery is pure demagoguery.

There are some that pay a coyote $1-2k, are "sold" to a "handler" that assumes their "contract", provides documents and housing, and extorts money daily. You may choose to call it something other than slavery. Prithee, what should we call it? Indentured servitude, or willful subjugation?
