What policies might we construct if the issue were economic exploitation? Would we not think first about protecting the human dignity of all who work in the U.S.? We might then begin to create policies that address the underlying problems that face all workers in America — the need for jobs that are safe, secure, and pay a living wage, combined with health care for everyone. We might begin to understand that Americans, too, can be “economic refugees” inside the U.S. — our fellow citizens forced to abandon their hometowns due to factory closings, for example, in search of a job wherever they can find it.
