So that’ll include some farmworkers rights right? Right?

Nah, it’ll be straight slavery.

    Let’s set aside the horrific implications for a moment. And let’s ignore the part about deporting American citizens as a form of collective punishment.

    Just reading this in the most charitable way possible, he’s saying that we could let businesses sponsor the migrant workers and in doing so allow them to stay. What a clever idea, why haven’t we tried that before? Oh wait, we have, they’re called work visas. Too bad half your party opposes them (while the other half wants to use them as a form of indentured servitude). Not that it even matters that much when you are deporting people who are here legally anyway.

    Doesn’t matter what promises Trump makes (even if he had actually meant them), when ICE has an absurdly high quota to meet and free reign to deport people without due process, no paperwork will be able to keep immigrants safe. They will just continue to go for the easiest targets
