    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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

    The current status of undocumented workers is by design: they are underpaid, disempowered and vulnerable. If they try to form unions, they can be deported at no cost to the exploitative scumbags who hire them. If the employer wants to get away with a bit of wage theft, they just have to call la migra. Any future arrangement will replicate this situation, possibly with even more precariousness for the immigrants.

    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.

    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.

    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.

        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.
