Not to worry, migrant labour will be replaced by prison labour. In fact, the prison work force will expand substantially.

But thanks to Reaganomics, prison turned to profits

'Cause free labor's the cornerstone of US economics

'Cause slavery was abolished, unless you are in prison

You think I am bullshittin', then read the 13th Amendment

Involuntary servitude and slavery it prohibits

That's why they givin' drug offenders time in double digits

Everybody should listen to Run the Jewels. Everyone should really hear the lyrics. That music should change the world. Plus it's fucking awesome.

And hey, bonus - prison labor is basically free !

Hey man, it's not free. Those private prisons owners cost money and it's our duty as tax payers to make sure they can buy that 5th house.
