    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
