I believe the majority of foreign owned businesses do this. They “sponsor” people on visas who work off the “costs”, basically slave labour. So no taxes on their labour. It’s a sneaky and unfair advantage.
These businesses need to be raided and audited often.
While doing my paper route as a young boy I noticed a house in the neighborhood that had 1 minivan and about 20 Asian people living inside. I could see through the windows that what SHOULD be the dining room, living room, and family room had all these sheets strung up to divide the rooms into small living quarters.
They would all pile into that poor van in the early morning and I could hear the engine straining up the long hill towards the Mandarin restaurant a couple streets away.
I never put 2+2 together until I started waking up years later.

The correct term is "indentured servitude", and it's illegal.
Except when it isn't, like H1Bs.
