>Undocumented migrants have for all effect become the modern day equivalent of slavery without the associated compasion.

Except for the fact that it's a choice - they aren't kidnapped and sold, they are choosing to work in (to us) shitty conditions because the conditions in their home countries are even worse. If you want to talk compassion - have some compassion for what they are running from.

I'm actually a little stunned at your disregard for the realities of slavery, both modern day and historic.



I’m stunned you believe they have a choice. Choice is one of the greatest fallacies of modern economics, responsible for extreme harm.
