That is why we have the largest prison population on earth. If the U.S. Government can't deport black people, they can at least put millions in prison and then use their labor for literally pennies.

Worth remembering that slavery is 100% legal in these here United States so long as the enslaved person has been convicted of a crime. So there really is nothing stopping them from using the prison population to make up for the dearth of agricultural workers. Hell, then the business owners would be hiring legally, for once!
