Slaves...no way, but I would consider indentured servants. If they can't afford to get citizenship through the legal immigration process they might be allowed to work for citizenship.
Okay, but they get to choose their own jobs at the going rate, as long as they are qualified to do them, and they get to live where they want, as long as they can afford it, and they can get basic medical care and education for their children. Then, after they have proven themselves as good workers with no criminal actions, after a certain period of time, they get to be citizens.
I'm good with that.

Let's hope this proposal doesn't get any steam in Congress.
Let's hope some lobby groups don't see it as a private prison for profit agenda.
There are approximately 2 million inmates in state, federal and private prisons throughout the country. According to California Prison Focus, “no other society in human history has imprisoned so many of its own citizens.”
Ten years ago there were only five private prisons in the country, with a population of 2,000 inmates; now, there are 100, with 62,000 inmates. It is expected that by the coming decade, the number will hit 360,000, according to reports.
The prison privatization boom began in the 1980s, under the governments of Ronald Reagan and Bush Sr., but reached its height in 1990 under William Clinton, when Wall Street stocks were selling like hotcakes. Clinton’s program for cutting the federal workforce resulted in the Justice Departments contracting of private prison corporations for the incarceration of undocumented workers and high-security inmates.

Haven't you been paying attention? There are plenty of private prison industries in operation NOW.

2. After reading the transcript, its pretty clear he was making a point about american citizens being salves for illegals by way of tax dollars and services.

The corporate oligarchy seeing this as a profit opportunity? Don't be silly...it can't happen here! I'm sure we can trust them to do the right thing....
Who would have ever thought that we would be discussing enslaving people again in America....?
