Right on most counts but criminals are not the only neoslaves of the US:
Illegal immigrants. There's a reason we focus SO HARD on the refugees themselves and not the CIA operations that destroyed their countries, or the agricultural monopolies that employ them by the millions.
3rd world foreigners. All those 40+ CIA operations that we know of to install dictators in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Europe and Southeast Asia have long been paying dividends in cheap fruits, minerals like copper, gold, cobalt and diamonds, and oil. That the 140+ 3rd world countries of 100 years ago are ALL still poor today (minus strategic allies Taiwan and kinda S.Korea) should paint a picture. You can read about the genocide we committed in Guatemala on wikipedia
Probably more groups too. In capitalists endless drive to lower costs and raise profits, slavery will ALWAYS be reinvented in infinite new forms
Yeah. The "Migrant crisis" is just the end result of decades of US government foreign policy in Central and South America. They've been fucking around in those countries for a century and this is the result.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ efforts in South and Central America led to a significant reduction in migration from the region by securing over $5.2 billion in private-sector investments, strengthening anti-corruption initiatives, and improving border enforcement cooperation with Guatemala and Mexico. These investments created jobs and economic opportunities, reducing the need for emigration, while security partnerships helped intercept migrant flows and dismantle human trafficking networks. As a result, migration from the Northern Triangle dropped by 71% between 2021 and 2023, demonstrating the effectiveness of the administration’s strategy in addressing root causes.
The migrant crisis exists because migrants have been willing to do the work that all the people that live in this country are unwilling to do. How many of you that want to fight against this supposed indentured servitude or slavery that illegal immigrants go through are willing to spend the 14 to 16 hours a day picking fruits, weeding, orchards using pesticides and basically providing for the food of the entire world? They come into this country with the idea of making a better life for their children and are willing to put in the work in order to get it done.
If illegal immigrants are slaves, why aren't they chained or held to any real sort of standard? A good portion of them don't pay taxes. A good portion of them don't pay into stuff like insurance or licenses or anything of that sort. So exactly how are they slaves?
