They've tried. They can't abuse American workers the way they do immigrant workers.
So should we allow immigrants in illegally so they can be abused?
We should institute an agriculture work visa that includes a Spanish language lesson on their rights and go after the corporations that make them work in the fields while pesticide is being sprayed.
This is brilliant. Absolutely this should be a thing.
Then no one would hire them
Well they have to hire someone if they want to make money. If they throw us into a food crisis because we won't let them abuse people then we'll just nationalize the fields.
Okay, now you’re just trying to turn me on.
I wouldn't be turned on by that. America can legally use prison labor as slave labor.
So put a gun to their head and steal it
Yeah, you're right. We should just abuse the ones already here by putting them in concentration camps- oh wait, that's the plan!
No the plan is to deport them
Where do you think they will put them before they can be deported? You do realize they can't just stick them on a plane, right? Deportations have to be negotiated, and the country might not want to take them back. So they need to concentrate them in a camp or camps until such time as they can deport them. If they can ever be deported.
I'm pretty sure there's a term for a camp where people are concentrated. What do you think that term might be?
Prison, where criminals are kept
Which prison has room for the 20 million people Trump is planning to deport? Please name it.
Lol they're not gonna keep them all in one place at the same time
So you think that Trump's plan, despite his claim, is to put a few people who have overstayed their travel visa in prison at a time? With rapists and murderers? How do the people who get imprisoned get chosen?
And you do know that prisoners can legally, as per the 13th amendment, be used as slave labor, right?
And you're okay with all that, are you? Slaves getting raped for the crime of staying in a country too long?
And then there's the legal asylum seekers that Trump is also planning on deporting... guess their slavery and rapes are okay too?
No that's a giant strawman. They should be deported. Do you think they should be able to come here without permission, to rape and murder while receiving welfare and free housing?
Wow. You really have bought the full Trump narrative. I'm only surprised you're not talking about them eating pets too.
They don't even qualify for those things most of the time. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/welfare-benefits-for-non-citizens/
Lol I strawmaned you, just like you did to me
It should be 0
What you are doing is parroting Trump talking points. That's not "strawmanning," it's propaganda. And a lie.
I don't know what you think that term means, but you're wrong.
I attacked an argument that you are not making. That is a strawman. That is also what you did. Not actually parroting them, I'm making a point about your argument.
What argument was I making that involved the use of government social services? Because I'm pretty sure I was talking about concentration camps, slavery and rape.
But do please quote me.
I said NOT making. That's the whole point of calling it strawmaning
Oh, I see. Well that's not what I did. Because this is what you said:
My response was that the ones here are going to be abused by the Trump administration. That's not a strawman. That's a direct response to what you said. Either you don't want immigrants abused or you do. Which is it?
Let me guess: putting someone who overstayed their visa in prison with a bunch of rapists and murderers until the country they came from agrees to take them back isn't abusive.
...and more Trump talking points.
Yes, all of your points are democrat talking points
No. I am not nor have I ever been a Democrat. My points are based on what Trump says he plans to do and what you are saying should be done and what the consequences of those ideas would be. It's called inference. You are literally saying things that Trump and his surrogates are saying- like how immigrants here illegally are murderers.
On the other hand, I just glanced at your history see you linked to Libs of Tiktok on Twitter in another thread, so I'm not at all surprised you are both parroting Trump talking points and accusing others of being on your rival sports team.
Oh wow, you're incredibly gullible. Speaking of strawman...
Looks like all the trolls came out today 🤡
