We found out what Donald Trump meant by the undocumented taking “black peoples jobs.” He meant those farm jobs, and manual labor jobs that undocumented did before Trump deported them, put them in concentration camps.
I guess wyt farmers thought that black people don’t have jobs and anxiously want to return to the “halcyon” days of yore. But what happens when they+
don’t go to the fields and the oh so tempting lure of medicare/medicaid doesn’t tempt many, white, black, brown, or pink with yellow polka dots? There’s always prison.
Chain gangs may still be a part of some prisoners experience in the USA. But not many. But with all the FOD (Friends of Donnie) in the private prison industry raking in the cash with all the detentions of undocumented, it’s not too far fetched to think that all parties wouldn’t turn to prison labor to harvest crops, feed and care for beef on the hoof, etc.
I mean there’s money to be made, more to pad their already bloated pockets.
A chain gang or road gang is a group of prisoners chained together to perform menial or physically challenging work as a form of punishment. Such punishment might include repairing buildings, building roads, or clearing land. The system was notably used in the convict era of Australia and in the Southern United States. By 1955, it had largely been phased out in the U.S., with Georgia among the last states to abandon the practice. Clallam County, Washington, U.S. still refers to its inmate litter crew as the "Chain Gang." North Carolina continued to use chain gangs into the 1970s. Chain gangs were reintroduced by a few states during the 1990s: In 1995, Alabama was the first state to revive them. The experiment ended after about one year in all states except Arizona, where in Maricopa County inmates can still volunteer for a chain gang to earn credit toward a high school diploma or avoid disciplinary lockdowns for rule infractions. — Wikipedia
This will be mandatory as their cruelty will insist upon it. I think we called them “forced labor camps.”
The Nazis started using forced labour shortly after their rise to power. They established specific Arbeitslager (labour camps) which housed Ostarbeiter (eastern workers), Fremdarbeiter (foreign workers) and other forced labourers who were forcibly rounded up and brought in from the east. These were separate from the SS-run concentration camps, where prisoners were also forced to perform labour. . . . As in most Nazi camps, conditions in forced labour camps were inadequate. Inmates were only ever seen as temporary, and, in the Nazis view, could always be replaced with others: there was a complete disregard for the health of prisoners. They were subject to insufficiencies of food, equipment, medicine and clothing, whilst working long hours. There was little or no time for rest or breaks. As a result of these conditions, death rates in labour camps were extremely high. — The Holocaust Explained
What will be more ironic is if they empty Allegator Auschwitz into prison work crews to harvest our food.
