If anything, this hopefully illuminates to all Americans how much of our labor is provided by the periphery.

I think ICE wellness farms will find the guards being murdered and the slaves being armed.
So MAGA isn't about the US being self reliant on produce and products after all?
No, they are just racist schmucks, just like we suspected
Who could have seen this coming.
They were totally blindsided
Did anyone else get ai vibes while reading the article? Idk if it's just me but the writing seemed so generic like something chat gpt spits out.
Yes.
Hope it hurts.
It's gonna hurt a lot more.
Texas can survive all on its own!
Mark my words Republicans will turn to using convict labor to harvest crops before they ever turn on Trump or admit any faults.
Step1: Round up undocumented immigrants and criminals.
Step2: Put them in prison for “crimes”.
Step3: Profit! Lease them to farms for $1 a day. Since slavery is legal if you are incarcerated. Republicans are going to build an entire underclass of criminals who will do these jobs.
Bonus: None of the brown people or criminals will be able to vote because they are now felons. Farmers will cry and vote Republican if anyone even suggests doing away with the prison industrial system.
That sounds realistic except how do you rent out slaves from Alligator Alcatraz. It’s not exactly commuting distance to any Texan farms?
Alligator Alcatraz is just the first. Republican governors will be tripping over themselves to build concentration camps to supply slave labor other states industries.
It is in our constitution, and we know how they like to cherry pick that.
13th Amendment, Section 1: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
It always amazes me that the amendment made it exactly five words before it put a gigantic loophole in place that has the ability to negate the whole thing.
Yep that is what I was referring to.
So slavery with more steps?
Not that many steps really.
Always has been
It's too bad that I don't give a fuck about farmers who voted to arrest their workforce. Put on a cowboy hat and harvest your produce yourself. This is what you wanted.
If you didn't notice, I also hate cowboys.
what about food security?
isnt the us even a net exporter?
I thought I was the only one who thought this. I've never met someone wearing a cowboy hat who had integrity.
They voted for this.
Let them figure it out.
If you own property, start a garden. You’re likely going to need it.
Pfff the others Accept it.
US full of hypocrites.
Happy dying
Downvote me, doesn't change the fact that US citizens accept a terrorist. Accepting how this terrorist has manipulated the elections. Accepting how people and US citizens are abducted... But guaranteed to hope for help from others as soon as you get caught. Fuck America.
