Modern slavery in America is written into the law. Go read the 13th Amendment. I also find it a little difficult to believe that's it's a coincidence that the same demographic who used to be slaves now make up the bulk of the modern slaves.

It is, it's a crime that every country on earth participates in. But it's profitable so governments don't care.
