      Yeah, I got a feeling many of those are undocumented 16 year old kids or the like though. So I if it actually came to it most that kinda slave labor wouldn’t be reliable.

        yeah ig thats prob a factor but i work in a factory and its mostly middle aged/old men. slaughterhouses are famous for using child/undocumented labor but thats not manufacturing. there was a Toyota parts plant that got busted for child labor but i think thats kind of rare bc manufacturing in the US is one of the few industries that actually has regular inspections from OSHA, EPA, EHSS, etc.
