They don't have a choice. It's either accept the slave wage, starve, or sneak into America to work illegally.

That looks like 3 choices. Slaves don't get to make choices.

No. There is no excuse for using slave labor.

Slaves don't earn wages.

Bush, and Clinton before him.

Bush and Clinton wanted to close the border and send the illegals back? When was that?

Is Cuba "better?" Is Venezuela "better?"

We should allow illegals to invade because Cuba is bad? Maybe we'd install a puppet regime?

We should pay a humane wage at our factories in Mexico like you, Bill Clinton, and the rest of the NAFTA proponents predicted would happen.

Wages are lower than they were before NAFTA?

Sure they do. They can stay and work so they can eat, run away, or overthrow their master. And those are the same choices the Mexican workers have.

They get room and board for their work. Most Mexican workers can just afford room and board on their salaries, so it's the same thing. And Chinese workers are actually housed at the factories.

Lie. That's not what I said, and you are well aware of that. I don't support illegal immigration. Your policy is going to result in a communist revolution in Mexico.

Business week lists the current salary of an assembly line worker in Mexico to be $1.47 an hour. If that's a stunning climb, I'd be surprised. Do you think they're rushing across the border because they are being paid well? Did the NAFTA proponents predict that Mexican wages would reach the princely level of $1.47 an hour in just ten short years? No. They promised more than that.
