“We’re looking at doing something where in the case of good, reputable farmers, they can take responsibility for the people that they hire, and let them have responsibility, because we can’t put the farms out of business, and at the same time, we don’t want to hurt people that aren’t criminals,” Trump told reporters.
Sounds a lot like slavery to me
I want people to realize the outsized amount of leverage that farmers will have on their employees. Employers will literally be able to say that they’ll do what they’re told and take whatever they’re given or the employer can just drop a dime to ICE and have them deported without being able to settle their affairs or contact their families.
The status quo will be a radical departure, indeed.
That is entirely the point
