Crack down on the businesses mass-importing slave labor from outside the US. Unskilled labor isn't being replaced by robots and outsourcing, it's being replaced by imported labor that can be kept in line with various legal and extra-legal threats.

No, it's actually being replaced mainly by foreign competition. In the case of jobs that cannot be outsourced, like agricultural jobs (you can't harvest American crops without being in America), illegal immigrants have been doing that work for a very, very long time -- way before the manufacturing jobs started disappearing for white people.
