That's the only way it's gonna work, because no immigrant is going to trust this Administration at its word. These poor folks can do everything correctly, by the book, and Trump can still say "Sike! Off you go to CECOT"
Duh. America was built on slaves and blood. It's the only way they know.
Trump already said he's going to make the farmers "responsible for these people" — Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QqdLW8K8Jg&list=RDNS8QqdLW8K8Jg&start_radio=1
He even called the farmers "owners".
Exactly. Probably by design.
I won't take that bet because it was their plan from the start.
According to the 13th Amendment:
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.
Arrest the migrant workers. Funnel them through a for profit prison. Rent the workers to the same farms as slave labor and pocket what would normally have been their wages.
Wish I didn't see this as a highly likely scenario.
It's pretty annoying to always see for-profit prisons mentioned like they're the majority. Only 8% of prisoners in the US are housed in them.
The fact is that government run prisons are just as corrupt, if not more, through contracts that include kickbacks for the people in charge, or contracts owned by companies the people in charge or their families own.
The concentration camps the immigrants are being sent to are where the labor will come from.
if over 90.000 prisoners held in private prisons (in 2022!) is "only" to you, than yeah, those couple lifes is prolly just a drop in the ocean
Silly you thinking that it could be limited to "immigrants".
The duly convicted part will only slow them down. I'm sure they'll establish new immigration courts or appoint new, loyal judges who will render a verdict every 5 minutes if asked.
What's that you say, former citizen with no constitutional rights?
I bet it's slaves. It's always slaves with this lot.
Cant have slaves, yet? Oh well, criminals. Just take the people who would be slaves and find something to lock them up for, then slaves.
Capitalism is an open air prison and the rules are getting harsher for some. Then, for more. Soon, everybody else.
"Criminals" = slaves

And with Trump, anyone can be a criminal with no due process.
Wait, just hear me out, if we wait for the concentration camps to fill up with immigrants and political prisoners, they can provide the same labor FOR FREE while also providing a nice sum for the private prison firms that, in turn, grease the prison-to-profit machine!
All this with the added bonus that some of the labor will already be skilled. It's brilliant!!
This has literally been the plan from the start, it's not a joke.
It's gonna be children and slave labour isn't it?
Ain't no way like the American way
If by slave labor you mean prison slave labor which will include the aforementioned detained migrant prisoners doing their old jobs, then yes.
When they find reasons to keep certain immigrants, deportations of others will increase to take up the slack. Every American, even multi-generation born and raised should be afraid. Trump and his Republican administration isn't constrained by either the law or the constitution. He has proven that the US has no mechanism for stopping him from doing whatever the hell he wants.
I bet I could be on the chopping block...I dunno how good their digital foot printing it is, but if it is good then they will know I really, really, really, really, really, really hate Trump.
I could see my citizenship being questioned because of how I was born. I could also see them passing a law that would force me choice between my dual nationalities.
FYI folks I was born to a US service member.
... a solution, you say?
Why do I get the feeling this "solution", for these people you have in the country but don't want, will be very... final?
checks notes
The USA has about 20% of the world's prison population and only around 4% of the world's population.
Looks like we found our solution!
Fuck America and their industry
Round them up, then make them work the same jobs for free. Just like they planned. Just like we predicted.
Like, a final solution?
