  1. Well that sounds like a sinister return to owning people……

  3. So how many times is Felon47 going to change his decision in the next two weeks?

  5. The issues surrounding immigration in modern America are, first and foremost, rooted in the fact that immigration laws can be easily altered depending on the ideologies of the two major political parties. Additionally, American society heavily relies on immigrants—whether legal or illegal—for the production of social resources, while the benefits of that labor are often concentrated in the hands of a limited few. Even as a foreign observer, it is not difficult to predict that achieving a ‘solution’ to these problems will be extremely challenging.

  7. It’s incredible, i think, how fast we’re moving backwards through time

    In the span of a few months, we’ve gone from new large scale hot wars, to the nazi-style persecution of specific groups, and now we’re going back to the slave era

    By the end of the year we’ll be in the feudal era, bubonic plague hype everyone

  8. Hokey pokey president strikes again.

    What will he say tomorrow. Or next week.

  12. Pretty soon these farmers are going to want to count these immigrant workers, just not as full citizens. Maybe, something like 3/5 of a citizen.

  13. Slaver is the word you’re looking for bud, let me lend ya a hand. And what is that responsibility going to be? Maybe keep them in one spot? Tell them what hours and when they can go to public? Oh snap, what if we made little copper coins saying which farm they went to!

  14. So just hang the threat of deportation over their head so they become subservient and accept any treatment and wages.

    The people who voted for this are genuine imbeciles we already knew this man was an idiot with no real plan just saying random stuff, yet here we are again.

  15. Which one is it?Deport, not deport? Never have I seen someone who is inconsistent and changes his tune every week. Holy crap.

  18. So they’re going to persecute immigrants in blue states to undermine their economies while allowing the red states to avoid the economic consequences of their cynical use of immigration to race bait and distract their base?
    All this unnecessary suffering so the oligarchy can get richer and more powerful.

  19. The real criminals are the employers of undocumented workers, not the workers themselves.

    Maybe a roundup of those exploiting the workers would halt this ridiculous and cruel policy.

  21. Make America great again – and by that I mean, when we had slaves

  22. There is apparently such a scourge of criminal illegals that we need to keep them? *Huh?*

    I just love the notion that Trump is *asking* farmers to employ (and probably underpay) people that they are not legally allowed to employ to begin with.

    A nation of laws, indeed.

  25. Looks like the world needs to step in and help regulate USA. With the amount of helpless cries coming out of there we, the world, should step in and help USA, like we would go and try to help people in poor countries getting their education, health and culture. America was always the first to step outside of its own borders to help oppressed around the world. Time that the world take rains and help USA.
    Should I put /s or not. I don’t know

  27. I was told it was the Dems that supported slavery tho???

  33. What. MAGA said They’re taking jobs from Americans. You promised to give those jobs back to Americans. You mean to tell us maga doesn’t want those jobs?

  34. He just makes this shit up as he goes. No plan, no foresight, no awareness of consequences.

  36. No big deal. Just indentured servitude. /s

    We’ll never have a President dumber than this idiot.

  37. This just highlights how poorly thought out even the concept of his own plan turned out to be. A scathing admission of outright stupidity.

  38. Or, and hear me out…we actually get Congress off their asses and make it easier for these folks to get legal H-2A visas so they can work here legally. The administrative burden on farmers trying to qualify for the program are significant. But all they want is the work done and the employees to come – this shouldn’t be that hard!!!!
    It’s not like Americans are jumping over themselves to pick radishes or muck out cow sheds.

  40. So we are back to sharecroppers, indentured servants, and plantations.

  42. It’s always a good idea to give a supervisor total control over an employee’s entire life! If I refuse to work Saturday for free, my boss can call the police and ship me to a different country. That’s not inviting exploitation, it’s just good business.
