Slavery is legal in the States. They just need to put you in a prison first.
In the immortal words of Killer Mike, that’s why they givin’ offenders time in double digits.
All research and successful drug policy SHOWS that treatment should be increased! And law enforcement decreased while abolishing Mandatory Minimum Sentences!
Pro NRA Killer Mike? Pro Cop City Killer Mike? That “Killer” Mike?

What happens if you refuse to work? Are they allowed to punish you in any way?
Yes. They cut you off from all human contact. Feed you the most bland food in a bar form literally called nutrabars. Lights are kept on 24 hours a day and you’re left in that place for as long as you refuse to work. Solitary confinement is no longer legal in most places but luckily restricted housing, segregated housing, and special or intensive management are the exact same thing but are completely legal still.
Oh you want to see other people and get fresh air? Guess you’re willing to work now?
A thing to note about those kinds of practices. They quite literally give you brain damage. Humans require socialization, they require a day night cycle, they require stimulation. To not have those things will fuck you up, and even if you do eventually get out it will mean that your ability to reintegrate into society is severely damaged. It means you have a higher chance of recidivism.
And sadly, it’s perfectly legal according to the 13th Amendment.

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
True. Many countries just opt for labour agreements with the origin countries that disadvantages the guest workers.

Laws and regulations can only go far to stop private citizens from abusing the weak and helpless, but it is better if they exist, there’s a chance they may be enforced.
Typical Americans. They don’t even know slavery is still legal. No wonder nothing changes.
They aren’t a remnant. The constitution explicitly states that slavery is ALLOWED AS A PUNISHMENT.
What country has the most prisoners again? 🤔
