ICE facilities are currently overflowing. ICE prisoners will simply be leased out as farm labor.
Jesus fucking Christ that's dark but entirely possible.
The US has always operated off of slave labor. We currently, among other things, use slave labor to fight forest fires.

Nobody is going to work for slave wages and slavery conditions. Raise wages! Improve working conditions! That's the point of the whole Trump immigration policies you dumbass!
It is indeed baffling that immigrants worked all this time for slave wages under slavery conditions. USA is full of people taking advantage of others. It is not just Trump, it is the 50% of the population that is anti-social psychopathic sociopath.
it is not anywhere near baffling. it is an example of exactly how disgusting and terrible capitalism is. these times should be moving people radically left.

The prices for grocery shopping are much higher in the US than in Germany (30% to 100% higher for unprocessed, healthy food). Yes, we also have immigration workers, but their status is legal and they get the official minimum wage.
It’s not that the US can’t afford to lower prices without illegals, they just want to maximise profit.

No. Shit.
Especially not when OSHA is simultaneously being dismantled.
Just wait until we get those pesky child labor laws rolled back, then there’s a fresh new crop of serfs for the fields

So much of the argumentation around this topic sounds the south arguing for slavery except it's liberals arguing for exploitative labor.
Yes but no. These people should be allowed in to work, legally and with workers protections. Not exploited.
Yep, forcing businesses to actually pay market rate for labour is something of an upside.
