In reply to the discussion: US farm groups want Trump to spare their workers from deportation [View all]robbob
(3,645 posts)the real question is, what happens next? And the options go from terrible to horrifying. The stated option is to deport them all, leaving no workers to pick our food, do our manual labour, etc. The economy grinds to a halt, the national dept soars (just how much is all this going to cost?), and chaos results.
Option 2; they use the immigrants they have collected as a form of slave labour, renting them out to farms and factories, maybe even branching out into union busting possibilities; ironic, using a government program to actually take jobs away from American citizens. Which inevitably leads to
Option 3: Run these camps much as the Nazis did. Work people to death, starve them, eliminate the old and infirm, anyone who isnt productive.
I know; it sounds like a dystopian fantasy, but since option 1, the stated intent of this round them up policy isnt going to work, what happens after all the undocumented immigrants are placed in camps?
Lets hope this whole thing is just more build that wall rhetoric that actually goes nowhere.
