Instead of Vietnamese children making t-shirts to sell to the USA, they want American children to make t-shirts to sell to Vietnam.

This makes absolutely no fucking sense even from a nationalistic standpoint.

Nah man, they'll start using the prisons for more then menial labor. You don't have to pay them at all

But then they have to fill those prisons with more and more people. How can America just increase the crime rate on a whim?

glances briefly to American history

Oh right, shit.

Slavery never ended in the US, it just got better PR.

"Only prisoners can be sentenced to slave labor."

Makes a while bunch of stuff punishable by prison time and makes prison sentences longer.

In that case, it would make sense why they are so pro-life - more child slaves to make products. Reminds me of that one family guy episode ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd6Shxz9UUs
