Trump floats plan for undocumented farm and hotel workers to work legally in the U.S.
Trump floats plan for undocumented farm and hotel workers to work legally in the U.S.
These idiots have no clue what they are doing.
Does he mean the work visa for seasonal labor THAT WE ALREADY HAVE?
no, this is the new migrant visa card made from compressed cheeto dust. it costs half their gross wages each month. it allows employers to treat them like slaves, they have no constitutional rights, and they can still be kicked out and banned from re-entry on a whim or a sneeze from the white house.
It also costs $2000, which pays for the gold needed to imprint his ass cheeks on the thing
Not just kicked out and banned, but sent to some torture prison or outright killed.
Lolol he's gonna take credit for other programs that already exist… again.
You made this? No.
I made this.
Do you think they're gonna want to come back after we cancel their Social Security Numbers?
Seems like they're basically counting on many of them having no choice but to come back. Just like they're counting on them being willing to accept having basically no rights.
Because slavery is better than getting killed by gangs/cartels of course /s
Just like he was counting on China you need us more than we need them.
I really hate people who are constitutionally unable to negotiate in good faith.
Yes, if they cant find better alternative
Come to America... Maybe Get Sent to a Supermax Prison for No Fucking Reason.
Yeah, that campaign ad just writes itself.
Like a, idk, work visa? That you have to pay some money to the government? Like a tax?
I'm sorry, but I've met vegetables with more understanding of the world
I know it sounds harsh, but I hope they don't come back. If they get treated like this once and then get the "opportunity" to come back on a provisional basis what's going to stop this administration from making camps where they are allowed to live only to work on a farm with no time off? What about the off seasons? Do they still get to stay? The ones who've left are the lucky ones. If history has taught us anything is that deporting en mass is just the first step. If nothing causes a major change in leadership, well, it's been a good run. Hopefully, from the ashes rises something better.
Recession is decreasing domestic tourism and fascism is killing international tourism. I doubt we'll need the hotel workers for long.
The author questions what Trump means by “slow things down a little bit” while I’m out here wondering how he defines “legal workers.”
I’m imagining how this might look in California: brought back into the country by your employer? For the benefit of your employer? In a HCOL part of the country? Without a working SSN?
Welcome to endentured servitude.
You know that no one in a blue state would be allowed to use this "program"
We’re going to slow it down a little bit for them, and then we’re going to ultimately bring them back. They’ll go out. They’re going to come back as legal workers."
Translation: they are going to come back as a El Salvadorian prison workers, and as prisoners they are going to be legally slaves.
After they've been broken.
Like a horse. Or Theon Greyjoy.
All Murcan prisoners are legal slaves, not just the Salvadorans.
Yes. That's the point.
They are American prisoners. They are being sent to El Salvador prisons because nobody in America would build a legit concentration camp here.
The ones that survive are going to come back as literal slaves.
There's probably some loophole shenanigans around oversight for basic human rights by having the prison, itself, be an entity of another country entirely. Probably some law written in the 18th century. Americans wouldn't stand for the level of suffering these people are about to endure...so they want to make sure American's don't see it.
Trump says [THING] is bad
MAGA hates [THING]
Trump says [THING] is good actually <------ you are here
MAGA says they've always supported [THING]
As predictable as the setting sun.
Yeah, just leave the country. We’ll totally let you come back. Promise.
Wow! How long until "the man" starts collecting passports, and requiring working immigrants to work off the debt of being allowed to work the fields, before allowing them access to their passports to be allowed to leave - likely with an ICE escort?
Nothing says "come back soon!" Like throwing people in the back of a black van and driving them to Mexico
Ahhh, classic doublethink. These fucking dipshits simultaneously want to kill all immigrants, while making them work all the shit jobs, and if you point that put to any of them, their heads explode. What a bunch of fucking maroons.
It is not double think, it runs to their own worldview that immigrants are inferior and only worthy of working in manual labour.
For almost no money of course. No, no there is nothing nefarious going on, you know. Everybody knows, we just want to help.
He's going to grift a way to get money out of it
Sounds like the United Arab Emirates' king or whatever have been whispering in trumps ear.
russia whisperint in hisnear
LOL, isn't this what so many racist qons think was one of Ronnie Raygun's worst offenses?
I only found out about that game a few weeks ago, but Ronny Raygun and Maggie Satchter are two of my favorite video game villains.
I'm a Person who SUPPORTS sending Random Brown people to EL SALVADOR and I AGREE that SOME Brown People SHOULD be Able to Take Our Jobs!
Flip Flop 47 does it again.
So the general trump plan is to fuck everything up and then like, 1/10th fix it and now we're just sat here much much worse off? Fantastic.
I mean, that was most of his first term.
we're just sat here much much worse off
Only for certain definitions of "we."
Are you one of Trump's billionaire friends? He was just bragging last week about how much money they made with his insider trading dump-and-pump scheme. So for that definition of "we", they are actually much much better off.
But yeah fucking over all other definitions of "we" is the plan, you pretty much nailed it.
I miss when Regime Change was something I read about in history books, not something I thought about when I watch the news.
We literally already had that, Undocumented Immigrants had a way to obtain a tax id number and pay federal taxes.
Trump is aware of that, he's given ICE access to that information to help track them down.
If the plan is citizenship, then good. I could actually say Trump managed a good thing through all thr BS.
Worth all the rest of the chaos? Not even close. But it's something.
Slave labor ... this is the goal ... bring people in on the strictest terms, make vague promises to them about citizenship if they keep working ... then make them work for a lifetime with no benefits, no protection, little pay (or even no pay), owners can be free to treat them as they like, no one is punished for abusing them, label them as less than human.
His goal is unquestionably slave labor.
So when he says "great again", we now know the time period he was thinking.
