These crazy bastards are just crazy bastards.
Jan Mickelson said he took inspiration from Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio for the idea, which would involve putting immigrants into “tent cities” if they did not follow a deadline to leave the state.
“If you are here without our permission, and we have given you two months to leave, and you’re still here, and we find that you’re still here after we we’ve given you the deadline to leave, then you become property of the State of Iowa,” he argued. “And we have a job for you. And we start using compelled labor, the people who are here illegally would therefore be owned by the state and become an asset of the state rather than a liability and we start inventing jobs for them to do.”
Compelled labor another word for slavery. When forced to deal with the reality of what he was suggesting, the asshole said:
“Well, what’s wrong with slavery?” he asked the caller.
Is this man a fool? Is he even aware of the 13th Amendment.
Section 1.
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.
Section 2.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Seems to me . . . just sayin . . . but compelled labor is INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE.
Ugh!
