So that’ll include some farmworkers rights right? Right?
Nah, it’ll be straight slavery.
Senile old man forgets the term “visa.”
Why is this news, his brain is cooked. We need to put grabpa in a home
Let’s set aside the horrific implications for a moment. And let’s ignore the part about deporting American citizens as a form of collective punishment.
Just reading this in the most charitable way possible, he’s saying that we could let businesses sponsor the migrant workers and in doing so allow them to stay. What a clever idea, why haven’t we tried that before? Oh wait, we have, they’re called work visas. Too bad half your party opposes them (while the other half wants to use them as a form of indentured servitude). Not that it even matters that much when you are deporting people who are here legally anyway.
Doesn’t matter what promises Trump makes (even if he had actually meant them), when ICE has an absurdly high quota to meet and free reign to deport people without due process, no paperwork will be able to keep immigrants safe. They will just continue to go for the easiest targets
Will the farmers get to choose their workers? Perhaps compete with each other? In an auction?
Maybe the process is more like choosing a day laborer
It’s just a soft sell on Slavery Lite, all the oppression with only half the calories.
soft? lite?
just straight up slavery
Hey man, we aren’t slaves because we are responsible for our own housing and food without there being any guarentee of income!
The real dumb thing about this is these farms do not need sustained labor. They want temporary transient labor for specific bursts like picking crops. It’s been that way since the abolishment of slavery. And no citizen wants to be migratory labor yet, the bottom hasn’t quite dropped that far out of the economy. Cyberpunk nomad clans have yet to be a reality.
I see USA solving it’s problems with their ancient traditions and sensibilities. Slavery. I’d say I’m surprised, but uh…
Well slavery should entice a lot of them to stay. Good job trump
It worked quite well a few hundreds years ago, right? So why shouldn’t they try again?
If corporations can be people then people can be objects. It’s quite simple really.
I can own a corporation, so this would follow.
