For you to become enslaved requires that someone first have absolute power over you, and then that person must decide to sell you off. There aren't many people who have that level of power over adults. How do you enslave a capable adult in this day and age, exactly?

Migrant workers. They don't know their rights, and even if they did and informed the authorities, they'd be punished for being illegal immigrants anyway, so they're screwed no matter what they do...literally screwed. Often, the farm executives (yes, these large farms are corporate, owned by companies like Archer Daniel Midlands and Monsanto; that's how they can afford a huge staff of migrant workers...you don't think it's cheap to keep slaves do you?) force females of the family into the sex trade.

There is a law in place that protects them, and if they have indeed been exploited, they are ineligible for deportation, but even if everyone involved knows this, nobody cares unless an expensive lawyer tells them to. Of course, because of all the laws protecting corporations, they're immune to any kind of punishment, and only the people directly in charge get punished if caught. Even if higher ups admit to knowing what's going on, nobody can legally do anything.
