Thoughts on how to improve the current system

If you keep your workers in shackles.

Scary stuff. I'll look into it.

In somewhat snarky defense of myself, I did say: "What we don't have is anyone capable of policing the chaotic and underdeveloped areas of the world, which is where the overwhelming majority of actual modern slavery happens." Surely Florida qualifies as both chaotic and underdeveloped...

Apparently, if one wants to find "modern abolitionists" in this context, the Coalition of Immokalee Workers is fighting the good fight.

Without more open migration laws, anyone who has already migrated is left with the threat of being turned in to La Migra. That makes organizing and resisting very difficult, and creates a space for abuse - apparently including slavery. Just like so many stupid "wars" the US is fighting, the war against "illegals" is inhumane and destructive.
