It’s a good point, but at the same time this isn’t indefinitely sustainable. Something has to give here. It’s morally reprehensible that we exploit the desperate and vulnerable for cheap labor. It’s economically dangerous that so many of our domestic industries are reliant on an illegal sub-minimum wage workforce. Both situations are breeding grounds for worse abuses like human trafficking and embezzlement.
I don’t have a solution to this problem, but kicking the can down the road isn’t a solution and doesn’t seem like a healthy choice.

If we shut these down domestically the product will just get imported. Do you think other countries aren’t exploiting their workers
