Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Arrest the migrant workers. Funnel them through a for profit prison. Rent the workers to the same farms as slave labor and pocket what would normally have been their wages.
Wish I didn’t see this as a highly likely scenario.
It’s pretty annoying to always see for-profit prisons mentioned like they’re the majority. Only 8% of prisoners in the US are housed in them.

if over 90.000 prisoners held in private prisons (in 2022!) is “only” to you, than yeah, those couple lifes is prolly just a drop in the ocean
What’s that you say, former citizen with no constitutional rights?

Silly you thinking that it could be limited to “immigrants”.
