Look, if we need more workers, let them immigrate- legally. None of this work for a pittance and go home crap either. Immigration with the intent of citizenship. Do it in a controlled, impartial and legal fashion with the intent of increasing the workforce if that's what we need. Indentured servitude is offensive to me.
No one says these immigrants have to work for slave labor. They will have the opportunity every lower class family has in this country.

Many are simply willing to work for this labor though because their standard of living will be greatly enhanced over where they came from.
