So the solution is kicking out the enslaved and oppressed, rather than giving them legal status and proper protections under labour laws? And doing exactly nothing to punish the companies who are profiting off paying low wages.

And the fact of the matter is, even at minimum wage Americans don't want to do that work. It's a myth that 10 million Americans would suddenly be interested in being housekeepers and nannies if it paid $7.25 an hour instead of $5.00 an hour. Those are still minimum wage jobs, that in reality US citizens are financially better off sitting on welfare than going to the expense of having a job like that.

That and have fun at the grocery store next time when the cost of all food is up by like 25%. 

I personally have no problem paying extra for goods and services if that extra is going towards the lowest people on the food chain making a livable income. It's when those price increases simply funnel into the pockets of the people at the top that I get a bit miffed about prices going up.
