100% these.
A reminder of the 13th Amendment:
That carve out is super important. And it's the reason why the builders and mega-ag entities that funnel billions to Trump will not lose a second of cheap labor. Here's how it works.
1) Juan is undocumented, and works for Perry Homes, making $25 per hour.
2) Juan is arrested, and charged with the crime of illegal entry. Juan pleads guilty/is quickly convicted.
3) Juan's home country won't accept him, or Juan has a big fine to work off, or is sentenced to a significant chunk of time. SO, Juan is sent to The Donald J. Trump Camp for Wayward Wetbacks to serve out his time, perhaps indefinitely (if his home country won't take him).
4) The DJTCFWW has a contract deal with Perry Homes. It sends busses of laborers, including Juan, to Perry Homes job sites at a rate -- to be paid to DJTCFWW, a private corporation, majority owned and controlled by DJT enterprises -- of $20 per hour. $.50 of that hourly rate is paid to Juan, in the DJTCFWW commissary account, which he can use to buy things like soap at $5 a bar.
5) RESULT: Perry Homes gets all the labor it wants, at a SAVINGS of $5 per hour, and DJT enterprises banks $19.50 per hour for the labor it provides to Perry Homes. Now, bidness is bidness, and of the $152 per day that DJT enterprises makes on Juan's labor, it spends $50 per day in transport, infrastructure, and mayo sammich costs. Meaning that DJT makes a measly profit of just over $100 per day per prisoner.
DJT Enterprises wins, bigly. Perry Homes wins, bigly.
Juan....gets assfucked. But, 13th Amendment bitches, so suck it!
We have a cadre of leadership in this country that remains pissed off that we got rid of Jim Crow laws, which created a pool of nearly free labor from black Americans. So, we're gonna replace them with brown people. PROBLEM SOLVED, AND AMERICA WORKING LIKE IT ALWAYS SHOULD HAVE!
