Again, we need to stop letting the left define the vocabulary. We need to insist on using "anti human trafficking" every time they try the "anti-immigrant" slur. Just an idea. Tell me who's anti-immigrant in the below news story.

This is one of the main arguments against illegal immigration that exists on the current landscape. Instead of focusing on "stealing jobs", they need to focus on just how many illegals are being exploited, abused, and outright enslaved due to their status. They can't go to the cops, because they're here illegally, and they can't just run off, because they usually have no place to go, and many times, are not proficient enough with English to achieve a better situation, many times falling right back into the loop of exploitation.

Unfortunately, as you've said here, we're letting the opposition define the argument, and paint as a bunch of racist assholes.
