WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK.
Then they’re going to lock them up in for profit prisons, lease out their labor to corporate farmers, for pennies on the dollar, less than what they’re paying migrant worker now.
slavery is back on the menu, folks.
(yea, i know. it never did go away entirely)
And then, the system established and no one having gone to bat for real to stop it, they’re going to slowly expand the category of people who are “not real Americans” who can get grabbed up into it, and expand their labor pool.

My guy lol
Go to [email protected] if you want to get some input about whether your ban was fair.
My final response, not screenshotted here, was:
You left some comments that looked troll-y. I looked over your history and saw a long string of one-line comments in other communities which are also likely to function effectively as ragebait, including telling people to eat poop and talking about shooting people.
I decided to check with you, sent you a reply so you could offer some explanation of what you meant and how it was productive. You ignored that and went on with one-liner comments in other communities.
I decided it was safe to class you as a troll. Like I say, take it to YPTB if you feel that classification is in error. I’m not planning to change my mind because you argue with me.
This is woefully offtopic here. There is a community set up for it which you are welcome to make use of. My guess is the mods here will remove this, because this isn’t where it belongs and it’s just going to crap up the comments for everyone else.
Edit: Fixed the link

this is not the place to be litigating this.
the tendency to just post bills that have been introduced without context is frustrating; actual reporting on the subject makes it clear this is not going to pass and even other Republican lawmakers are deeply skeptical of its legality and constitutionality (because it’s neither):
House Rep. Jansen Owen, R-Poplarville, vice chairman of the Judiciary B committee (one of two House committees that the bill has been referred to), expressed deep skepticism about Keen’s bill.
“I’m concerned about the constitutionality of some of those provisions,” he told the Mississippi Free Press on Jan. 24.
The Republican lawmaker explained that he had not personally reviewed the bill, but he stressed that determining the legality of immigrants was above the jurisdiction of the state to begin with.
“That’s within the purview of the federal government,” he said, adding he supports local law enforcement referring detainees to federal immigration services. But “the state doesn’t need to get in the business of enforcing federal immigration law,” he concluded.
this is to say nothing of bounty hunters, who would actually enforce the law and have not been consulted on this bill because it’s not serious. the primary value of the bill is earned media stochastic terrorism, which is aided by posting it without this context. (this is an issue with trans-related bills too and has been for years.) please don’t aid in that–contextualizing this stuff is especially important now that organizations and people might need to triage their battles.
Yeah, this is what someone I know who lives there said, it’s not going to pass most likely, isn’t legal and they’re just doing it to scare folks into moving away from the state.
Using life imprisonment to maintain a low-cost source of labor without giving undocumented immigrants a pathway to citizenship; sounds familiar…
Cool. Going to keep going hard for cirrhosis.
CALLED IT! I just won a bunch of bets that I was hoping I would lose.
