WTF? .... They've descended from the usual race-baiting/immigrant-bashing to outright fascism [View all]

Jan Mickelson is a conservative AM radio host from Iowa. He recently floated an idea on his show about enslaving undocumented immigrants. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Iowa radio host and influential conservative kingmaker Jan Mickelson unveiled an immigration plan that would make undocumented immigrants who don't leave the country after an allotted time "property of the state," asking, "What's wrong with slavery?" when a caller criticized his plan.

On the August 17 edition of his radio show, Mickelson announced that he had a plan to drive undocumented immigrants out of Iowa that involved making those who don't leave "property of the state" who are forced into "compelled labor," like building a wall on the US-Mexican border.”*
