> So what? I imagine the very last concern of people deciding whether to move to another country in hopes of improving their family's life is whether some random internet commenter understands them.

They did not call themselves slaves ... someone on HN did. The logic I cannot square is how someone can say these people are slaves with a straight face.

I don't care what they do with their lives, if they want to illegally enter a racist facist hellhole where half the country are white supremacists that is their choice. What I object to is saying they are slaves because they voluntarily make this choice.
