Get Your Head Out of the Sand, America, It All Adds Up to Legalized Latino Slavery

So a woman trying to get a protective order against an abusive boyfriend got nabbed in court by ICE. Sad, but some innocents will have to pay to make America great again.

http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/release-sought-immigrant-asked-protection-order-45716976

So immigrants are now keeping their kids home from school, for fear that ICE will catch them and send them back to a country they do not remember where people speak a language they do not know. Look on the bright side. If they can't get an education, the children of immigrants will have to fill the same minimum wage no benefits jobs their parents work, making America great into the future for hotel owners like Trump (who need immigrants in the kitchen and cleaning rooms), farm owners, sweat shop owners.

So the entire federal government is now fixated on protecting us from ten year old Maria, whose parents "illegally trafficked" her from Central America. That will make it easier for domestic terrorists to burn crosses, paint swastikas and torch churches. And if they get caught, they will have an easy get out of jail free card. All they will have to do is turn in their victims for the "crime" of being undocumented. Making America great again for jack booted fascism.

So a fruit picker finds that his employer is withholding his last paycheck of the season, and he has no one to whom to turn for justice, because if he tries to get justice, justice will ICE him. Sooner or later that fruit picker will be dumped into one of the private prisons where immigrants will be housed. And then, some smart ass in the federal government--like Trump--will get the bright idea of starting a chain gang. Send those detained immigrant workers back out to the fields to pick fruit. Except this time, the money will go to the prison operators. Or maybe, we will have the federal government build the prisons where business owners need the labor the most. Right there on the farms. Making America great again for indentured servant-hood.

And the children born to the immigrants who are housed in federal work-prisons will also be denied citizenship because you shouldn't reward illegal immigrants by giving them anchor babies. Those kids won't have any citizenship anywhere. They will be born, live, work and die in our nation's work-prisons. Making America great again for slavery.

And one day, that wall between the United States and Mexico won't be there to keep Mexicans out. It will be there to keep our born in the USA Latino slaves in. Tunnels will be built by members of the new Underground Railroad who will try to get the slaves to freedom. And ICE will be there with guns and dogs to ship the ungrateful workers back to their jobs and arrest or shoot on the sight those who try to deprive the nation's business owners of their slave labor.

Oh, won't it be just great!

He'd be so yoogely excited about using these prisoners for free to pick grapes at his wineries. He might even bring his businesses back to USA, since he will have free slave labor.

Horrible, greedy, hating, criminal user and abuser.

How could we come to this place?

The systematic deconstruction of public education will allow the top 1% / future oligarchs to limit educational opportunities for the remaining 99% -- regardless of citizenship, race, ethnicity, origin, religion, or physical characteristics.....

There will soon be a new category of refugees...
US Refugees .... trying to escape from all of Trumps "winning".....

to receiving Medicaid or any type of public assistance. No more "jobs Americans won't take" if you are forced to do so.

Became gov of az with the support of private prisons, which we built a bunch, specifically to hold immigrants. The private prison bill goes to the taxpayers because it is a federal holding facility. I just read this article on MJ about a reporter who spent four months working in a private prison deep in the backwoods in Louisiana. Isolated, no one wants to live near these places. They have two guards to around 300 PRISONERS. $9 an hour. I think some breakouts might be in order.

6. Mexico won't allow slave labor of their people in USA prisons like Corporations do to American priso

prisoners.

yes, the undocumented detention camps are 'for profit prisons' paid for with Americas Federal & State billions. But there is a procedure with court hearings all undocumented have a right to. Mexico already demands the court hearings before any deportation.

America already has a 100 mile wide net around the borders to grab any low hanging fruit trying to return to mexico and then they claim them as undocumented captures. One can NOT drive 100 miles from the Mexican border without being stopped many times.

11. If "born in the USA" no longer means US citizen, there will be no foreign government to intervene.

The cry against "anchor babies" is actually the cry for a return to slavery. Note that you hear the jargon from those who still cling to their Confederate flags. They know what it means for a child to have no citizenship anywhere. It means slavery.
