The "cheap labor" is enjoyed by everyone. Lawn maintenance, kitchen help, fruit and vegetable pickers, packing house workers, all primarily illegals. If you think inflation's bad now, wait until farmers have to pay their help minimum wage.
The farm workers should be here only temporarily through the guest worker visa program. i hope we all agree on that, but as long as employers will hire them, they will come.

Legal migrant farm workers already make more than minimum wage, by law.
If an illigal makes less, I don’t feel sorry for them. They should have followed the law and come to the US legally.

America was built with slave labor and is being built largely with underpaid and undervalue labor. The leeches are the 1%.

Some of these traditions are as American as apple pie. The sheer engineering in railroad construction is unbelievable - the tolerances are tight, needs to be level, etc. That they did much of it before we had lasers and GPS.

And they weren’t only black. Native Americans enslaved each other for centuries before and during European settlement. In Europe, lots of white slaves too. Asians in the far east were enslaved. It was far from a uniquely American thing. Mostly gone now, luckily, except for the political enslavement we still see supported by so many today.

The slaves are mining the minerals for the righteous ev owners.

Good for them. Maybe more people will stop eating it. I find the people that eat a lot of fast food are the very people that can’t afford it. Both health wise and monetarily. There are so many ways to eat on the cheap if you’re not lazy.
