No living slaves to compensate, no living slave owning democrats to extract reparations from. Case closed.

Exactly. An ugly part of history but it was a century and a half ago

Democrats are still chasing slave labor, though. It's just brown people from Mexico in this era.

Anger and Reconciliation
…25Reconcile quickly with your adversary, while you are still on the way to court. Otherwise, he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny. 27You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery

You are concerned about immigrants?

Nope. I'd just like the illegal ones deported and put in the end of the waiting line. Legal immigrants are welcome to take any job, for any wage, that they agree to do.

Many people assume that their family immigrated to the United States legally, or did it “the right way.” In most cases, this statement does not reflect the fact that the U.S. immigration system was very different in the past and that their families might not have been allowed to enter had today’s laws been in effect. When many families arrived in the United States, there were no numerical limitations on immigration, no requirements to have an existing family or employment relationship with someone in the country, and no requirement to obtain a visa prior to arriving. The definition of who is “legal”—and who is not—changes with the evolution of immigration laws. In some cases, claiming that a family came “legally” is simply inaccurate—unauthorized immigration has been a reality for generations
