I'm not sure one could really make a comparison. Granted some factories had horrid working conditions and very low pay. still the workers went to their own homes at night and could seek other employment. Not so for slaves. They worked incredibally hard , most for no pay whatever and could be bought and sold on a whim by slave owners. Many families were literally torn apart by slave auctions. They were also beaten by over seers for minor infractions.

How did the life of an immigrant compare to the life of a slave?

They can be similar in some ways, but different in others. Immigrants can be treated badly because of their citizenship which is sometimes called 'modern day slavery'. Immigrants can sometimes be beaten or treated with cruelty, but not always. It depends on the conditions the immigrants are working on. But slaves are usually treated very badly because they are slaves and known to be treated as people wish because of human selfishness. So generally, slaves are treated much worse.
