Not to worry, migrant labour will be replaced by prison labour. In fact, the prison work force will expand substantially.

But thanks to Reaganomics, prison turned to profits
'Cause free labor's the cornerstone of US economics
'Cause slavery was abolished, unless you are in prison
You think I am bullshittin', then read the 13th Amendment
Involuntary servitude and slavery it prohibits
That's why they givin' drug offenders time in double digits

Everybody should listen to Run the Jewels. Everyone should really hear the lyrics. That music should change the world. Plus it's fucking awesome.
And the crowd says
RTJ!

I listen to this song on a loop every time I stand in line to vote. Both major elections and midterms.
And hey, bonus - prison labor is basically free !
Hey man, it's not free. Those private prisons owners cost money and it's our duty as tax payers to make sure they can buy that 5th house.
This is not the right argument to be making. We shouldn’t be normalizing the exploitation of a underclass of people for the enrichment of law-breaking business owners.
It sucks but its also how the sausage is made at present.
The reality is that America only works by exploiting illegals.
If we magic wand illegals into citizens everything will explode in cost and then the government will try and spend their way out of the economic disaster, creating massive inflation.
If we magic wand illegals out of the country everything will explode in cost and then the government will try and spend their way out of an economic disaster while the foundation of our economy collapses, with runaway inflation.
Over the past decades we could have eased into an economy that isn't dependant on illegal exploitation, but that would have hurt profits, and we can't be having that.
Capitalism only functions when labor is taken advantage of. Matter and Energy are neither created nor destroyed, they only take on different forms.
Stealing this saying. Quotable.
hahahahahahahahahaha they just now figured this out, it's ok though, trump will create a cuttout in the "law" for his MAGAt buddies in Texas
Why would he? He already got what he wanted out of them.
Considering most of the people involved in said industry probably voted for Trump, I decidedly don’t care. Face, meet leopards.

I hope they suffer and crumble. It will be HILARIOUS! I'm all done giving a fuck what the collateral damage is. Hey, any construction companies that don't use slave labor, get those contracts ready and add some zeros!
