How long until adult immigration detention centers get turned into

[MineralMan]

labor camps? Crops need picking. Weeds need chopping along our roadways. Soon, some idiot Republican will propose that those in detention centers "earn" their freedom to be deported by laboring in the fields. Of course, the rules will require them to pay large fines for illegal border crossing, repay the cost of their detention at market room and board rates. Still, as the signs in the buildings at at the entrances of those facilities will read:

ARBEIT MACHT FREI! EL TRABAJO TE LIBERA! WORK MAKES YOU FREE!

It's coming. Truly it is coming, if the Trumpeters have anything to do with it.

Edit to add: I just realized that this is more or less a duplicate of another post: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100210744425

Since it's already generating discussion, I'm going to leave it, but I want to acknowledge the earlier post.

3. It will be the children who will be doing the labor. The parents will be deported

That's the Trump way.

Someone needs to make a buck off of other people's misery.

7. Yeah MineralMan, I have been saying the same thing since they started this.

I must admit I feel a little worse for the women and little girls because you all know damn well they are going to be used as sex slaves. I would be willing to bet a months income that it is already happening as far as any of the labor and sex slavery.

8. Sex trafficking and forced labor have existed among

undocumented migrants for a very long time. At the moment, it is not occurring with people being held by ICE, as far as I know. It happens more to people who are not even known to immigration officials, and the threat of ICE is heavily used by the traffickers and labor "contractors."
