And your the gift that won't get with the program huh. Please refrain from personal attacks. If you don't agree then fine that is your prerogative but let's not getting ugly about this.
I think you advocating the slavery of other humans is the epitome of UGLY.
And I think you misunderstanding what I'm saying is obtuse then to go on and regurgitate what seems to be the popular opinion in this thread is a desperate attempt for stars 👍

I think the popular opinion in this thread has been that slavery, and indentured servitude, is bad.
Wouldn't you agree with that?

I don't give a flyin ++++ about popular opinion or stars. What I care about is the dignity of my fellow human beings, not to become property of the state.

Not once did I say property, choice, choice, choice with the option to back home at any point
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.

One of the places we have the clearest views of that "terrible transformation" is the colony of Virginia. In the early years of the colony, many Africans and poor whites -- most of the laborers came from the English working class -- stood on the same ground. Black and white women worked side-by-side in the fields. Black and white men who broke their servant contract were equally punished.
All were indentured servants. During their time as servants, they were fed and housed. Afterwards, they would be given what were known as "freedom dues," which usually included a piece of land and supplies, including a gun. Black-skinned or white-skinned, they became free.
...
This disorder that the indentured servant system had created made racial slavery to southern slaveholders much more attractive, because what were black slaves now? Well, they were a permanent dependent labor force, who could be defined as a people set apart. They were racially set apart. They were outsiders. They were strangers and in many ways throughout the world, slavery has taken root, especially where people are considered outsiders and can be put in a permanent status of slavery.

...the Reich Citizenship Law, which declared that only those of German or related blood were eligible to be Reich citizens; the remainder were classed as state subjects
Persons convicted of violating the marriage law were imprisoned, and (subsequent to 8 March 1938) upon completing their sentences were re-arrested by the Gestapo and sent to Nazi concentration camps.
By 1938 it was almost impossible for potential Jewish emigrants to find a country willing to take them. Mass deportation schemes such as the Madagascar Plan proved to be impossible for the Nazis to carry out, and sometime around December 1941, Hitler resolved that the Jews of Europe were to be exterminated.

I find it horrifying that the US armed forces let you carry a gun.
Trump called the assault a “shame.”
“I will say that people who are following me are very passionate,” he remarked. “They love this country and they want this country to be great again. They are passionate.”
