☆☆☆Modern American Slavery versus Traditional African Slavery☆☆☆

Lacy wins for: “Dumbest Thread of the Year” (and the PB has a “BB” and a “Politruk”).

Congratulations, Lacy…

😑
 
It's so good here American slaves riot to be able to stay. :)

I guess it’s all relative.

Look, I get it… there are nearly 12 million slaves working offbook on the cheap as gardeners, nannies and contractors for american hypocrites.

Obviously most here wont want to admit they are just modern day slave owners.

This came up back with nannygate under Clinton. Maybe that's where the good idea came from. :)

Illegal immigrant slaves/workers have
been an issue since at least the 1970’s

Every president has passed the buck, because y’all hate actual work but you also want cheap avacados.

Economists say illegal Mexicans are a bargain for Americans and they cant collect any government benefits.

Mexi slave labour is a win win for you!

Q: does expulsion make Trump The Great Emanicipator?

At this point it's shovelling sand. :)
 
By no rationale are the Mexicans (I'm assuming we've collectively agreed that we genuinely don't care what Spanish speaking and or brown skinned nation they come from? We're just short handing?) slaves. They simply are not. We can make very, very strong arguments that they are victimes. They absolutely are victims to varying degrees.

Comparing it to African slavery is absurd though. Not just the how Africans were brought to this nation but the intentional destruction of family and culture. I'm an atheist and just via proximity Christians do the most damage to me so I have a special place in my "Fuck you list" for them but still. The way Christianity/Catholism was forced on the Natives isn't anything like what was done to Africans. Also given we seem able to rationalize that Mexicans are distinct from Native Americans to varying degrees we can't really call on that.

Just economics yeah we need them at least for the time being.
 
“Around 23 percent of workers in the meatpacking industry are undocumented “

- wired magazine

Agriculture and food processing in the USA is fundamentally reliant on cheap, untaxed, health and safety exempt illegal labour.

Obviously it’s shame-inducing for americans to view illegals as modern slaves, so you’ll deny it until you’re red or blue in the face, as both parties are complicit.

13th Amendment Section 1 says the Government can enslave criminals.

Corporations routinely mistreat illegals with inhumane working conditions, low wages, no benefits and threats of reporting.

( maybe rory actually works…as a meat packer! Ha ha no not that kind of meat packer… hold it, probably both kinds! Ha ha ha!)

Individuals hold the passports of domestic workers to enslave them.

Slaves from Africa were kidnapped and forced to do labor.

Migrants from Mexico choose to come here and do the work they choose to do.

Your premise is flawed and your argument continues to not make up for it.
 
This article is of course over the heads of morons like The lukes & ElleElle, but informs the thread’s Question quite nicely.

“Undocumented immigrants at work: invisibility, hypervisibility, and the making of the modern slave”

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41599-023-02449-5
The argument s based on false equivalency.

If you wish to discuss migrants as slaves, do so without your bullshit comparison
 
The Mobster has promised that his Brown-Shirts will not target the agricultural industries because he doesn't want to upset his rural base. Capturing Hispanics who work in inner cities is not a problem though. That only upsets the Dems.

Plot-twist; The thugs have performance indicators to reach and carry on raiding farms where there are easy prisoners so disregard the Great Supreme Beautiful Leader.
