    They don’t need foreign workers, just wage slavery… Or better yet just slavery.

    All they need to do is expand the law that makes it legal to use inmates as slaves.

    Edit: I know that it’s happening already. That’s in the second half of my comment? Is my english that bad? The key word is expand!

      Those Korean workers in that factory under construction were knowledge workers. Good luck getting a battery factory up and running with random bunch of inmates.

      I think that already exists. Companies in some states can hire inmates to work for 10s of cents to a few dollars an hour. That is basically slavery wages

        That’s the prison industrial complex. Legal slavery.

          You lose privileges and won’t be able to afford basic necessities like toothpaste or toilet paper.

            That’s dystopian as fuck.

            Note to self: Don’t let the cops take you alive.

      They can already use minors for unpaid labor that way. And I don’t mean community service.

      Uh, that already exists. A large part of “Made in USA” is slave prison labour.
