You don't understand what slavery is. Slaves don't get paid and it isn't voluntary. H1B are paid and is entirely voluntary. The reason foreigners accept and compete for the positions is because the pay is better than the positions they can get locally. Calling that slavery is ignorant and an insult to anyone alive or historically who has suffered actual slave labor.
- usrnm 3y ago> You don't understand what slavery is. Slaves don't get paid and it isn't voluntary Technically, that varies. Slavery is as old as humanity itself and it exists in different forms. It's not even unheard of for a slave to be wealthier than his master, although, of course, this is more of an exception. What I'm trying to say is if someone isn't picking up cotton in the american south, it doesn't mean they cannot be enslaved and don't need help

- mrits 3y agoI'd love to hear your take on exercise

- isaacremuant 3y agoPeople who go to Dubai and end up in what people call slavery also "sign contracts" and go there "voluntarily". They're exploited nonetheless. Your entire comment defending exploitation is and insult to anyone alive. Disgusting semantics game to defend what the US and other countries do with migrants. You're trying to shame people when you're the one who should feel ashamed.
- vinay_ys 3y agoBack in the days of slaves, someone would have argued how slavery isn't that bad because there were more worse things in their past and how slavery was an improvement in the lives of those slaves compared to what they would have had in their home country. Your argument reeks of the same moral flaw.

Its not that uncommon an argument to encounter today on the Right.
