Sorry, but you have failed to understand history.
However, today we have an even more vile form of slavery that uses illegal aliens. At least slaves were provided a home and food.
Today, we import poor Mexicans to perform the exact same jobs that Southern slaves did 150 years ago. However, these modern day "slaves" are not provided even the basics of food and shelter.
Since they are not citizens, minimum wage laws do not apply. If they dare to complain, then they will be arrested.
Now what was that about Southern slavery 150 years ago?
What the hell are YOU doing today to help these modern day slaves?

That's the fundamental difference, I guess. Some people see slavery as a Bad Thing. Some... don't.

Supporting laws that will show them to the borders and show their "employers" to the inside of a jail cell.
