Vulnerable to abuse as those workers are, that situation is not close to what was done to the slaves. You do undocumented workers a disservice by advocating their cause with so exaggerated a claim. I suggest reading https://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/in-depth/news/2019/06/03/alabama-state-holiday-jefferson-davis-birthday-where-lord-9-slave-testimonies/3740398002 https://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/in-depth/news/2019/06/0.... It's hard to find the stomach even to read about. That was a whole different level of violence and brutality, and it doesn't minimize anybody's plight now to say so.

Rather than speak out for current victims being exploited right now, you are choosing to say "well it's not as bad as X". Take a step back and see how that is harmful.
