You say “willingly” coming here to work for money, I say came here in “desperation” only to make enough to survive in poverty. Giving somebody a couple bucks rather than a bowl of soup is the difference between slavery and exploited “employees” given poverty wages.
In *chattel slavery * people are treated like objects, there are other types of slavery with some distinction. A person in a situation due to desperation lacks choice, that’s kinda what desperation means isn’t it? And people with power take advantage of that desperation, while staying within the bounds of law that forbid chattel slavery for non-imprisoned people within the borders of the U.S.
If the group of people causing the desperate situation are also effectively the ones benefiting from their desperation, the difference between this desperate trap that gives you tokens (“pay”) and chattel slavery isn’t all that much, and it’s kinda weird that you are making such a big deal as if you think it’s ok to take advantage of desperate people because it doesn’t fit a strict definition of a specific type of and most extreme form of slavery.

No, choose is the difference. Slavery is an imprisoned state, where one cannot leave or choose to go other places.
