today's slavery vs slavery of the 1800s

[ruthiesea]

Originally slaves were prisoners of war often raided from the neighboring tribe. Jacob became a voluntary slave(an indentured servant) for 10 years so that he could marry Rachel. It later turned racial. Even after the slave trade was banned by the British it was still carried on by European countries. Lincoln said it best, “Whenever I hear any one, arguing for slavery I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.”

Did anyone ever admonish slavers to "not buy slaves from your own people"?

Even after the slave trade was banned by the British it was still carried on by European countries. Lincoln said it best, “Whenever I hear any one, arguing for slavery I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.”

....
Nave you heard the dems on immigration? We need people to pick our crops (cheap labor) we need people to have cheap food (cheap labor) We need people to keep our lawns, clean our homes, take care of our children etc. Making that slave wage work legal.

Nonsense. Low wages are bad. But they are not at all the same thing as people owning other people as property.

Plus, if youre so concerned about low wages, which party is it that wants to raise the national minimum wage? And which party doesn't?

Slave wages, is low, low wages. But they get perks. shelter (housing) Medical, dental, vision, Schools, food from the government.

To the point that businesses cannot operate? Has any dem said these low wage workers will be given all the benfits illegals get? If they did, they would not need a wage increase.

To the point that businesses cannot operate?

If a business cannot pay a living wage it deserves to go out of business. Fewer businesses but with better pay makes for competition in the work place that incentivises people to work harder.

Lower wages but more businesses disincentives people to put the effort in because they are working for peanuts so what is the point.

Then illegals do not need all the perks they get

Can you clarify how the two are connected?

They should not work for anyone who cannot afford to to pay all those things.

Sounds like youd agree that a business which pays "slave wages" should not be operating. So I dont see the problem here.

That is what you have said. So jobs for illegals should be able to afford to pay enough for health care etc.

So I dont see the problem here.

The Jobs they do, are supplemented with government aide to be able to live. If they cannot house themselves, seek medical care etc. Those employers should not even be in business.

What does that have to do with the 'perks' illegals get? And exactly what are these 'perks'? As far as I can see illegals swarm America because business persons in America do anything to keep wages down; up to and including supporting the immigration crisis America is currently experiencing.

Dems have said they are Needed to pick our crops etc.

I’m sorry I have no idea what you are getting at.

Never mind.

Depends upon how low the wages are.

Plus, if youre so concerned about low wages, which party is it that wants to raise the national minimum wage? And which party doesn't?

There's a party that wants to raise the minimum wage?
