I certainly wouldn't call illegal immigrants slaves. They generally speaking work under stolen identities and pay taxes for non-cash payment just like the rest of us. For those that do work strictly for cash, yes what you said does happen, but they are breaking the law to begin with by being illegal immigrants. The current US administration has made it a lot easier for said illegals to get less scetchy jobs via the DREAM act and the associated legal things. The points you bring up about prisoners is interesting. I've always found the moral idea of a for-profit prison as reprehensible.
