Exactly. And they would've if the Dunmer were actually taking slaves, since that could be labled as an invasion of their soil, and the government would attack them. Also, a lot of people who live around the boarders, are just bandit groups, and small villages full of numerous races, you even admit this yourself. Hardly any Argonians would live there. Most want to live near the Hist. I don't know the context of that quote. There are Hist everywhere in Black Marsh. Lilmoth, while on the edges, had its own Hist tree, and the majority of the population there was Argonian. The Argonians live everywhere, not just in the central swamp. No matter where the Dres Slavers go in Black Marsh, there are Argonians to be found.

Point is, there is AMPLE evidence to suggest the Dunmer raided the province for slaves. In several cases, the lore sources flat out state it. Whereas we have no evidence to suggest that they don't.
