Do we think that they would have any problem doing that to turn a profit? As for most big business the dollar is the bottom line.

Probably a stupid post, but I tend to write what comes to mind at the time.

I not so sure we can't look at places like China as having "slave labor" with how they "pay", treat and house their "employees.  Currently the POTUS and his daughter have their products made there, for example, all while complaining about how unfair it is to American workers.

Very prominent families and companies did business with Hitler's Germany for a long time.

In your hypothetical I'm sure more than a few businesses would move production there and defend it somehow.  I'd hope the majority of Americans would resist but they aren't now.
