if you have terrible work that's low paying to the point where native citizens refuse to do it
then the you're an @sshole if you want to bring in victims from abroad and let them do it instead
the solution can be done internally, without importing victims those places would either automate or raise wages dramatically in order to entice locals to take on those jobs
we have 41.2 million Americans living on foodstamps who still won't take those jobs because they'd rather be on food stamps than work in a slaughterhouse for $7.15 an hour
if that wage went up to $24 an hour and the cost of chicken went up by 3 cents a pound that's the ideal solution, not bringing in outsiders
covid put a huge slowdown on immigration and that result has forced places like mcdonald's to dramatically increase wages because now they need to hire locals
