"Few of them will return to their countries, they know too well the greater hardships they must there be subject to: ...they will not adopt our manners:..: must we maintain them as beggars in our streets; or suffer our properties to be the prey of their pillage; for men accostomed to slavery, will not work for a livelihood when not compelled."
And further:
"Sending the slaves home then, would be sending them out of light into darkness. I repeat the question, what is to be done with them? I have heard it suggested, that they may be planted in the wilderness, where there is plenty of land for them to subsist on, and where they may flourish as a free state; but they are, I doubt, too little disposed to labour without compulsion, as well as too ignorant to establish a good government... While serving us, we take care to provide them with every thing; and they are treated with humanity."It's ironic that many of these things are indeed the present condition of the inner cities, two centuries later. And now we have a new class of economic indenture in the form of illegals, and a hot debate about "what is to be done with them?" There are differences, however; most illegals, having come here voluntarily, will indeed work hard. The mental condition of resentment in that percentage of descendents from those brought here as chattel centuries ago is proving more difficult to amend.

"we maintain them as beggars in our streets; or suffer our properties to be the prey of their pillage; for men accostomed to slavery, will not work for a livelihood when not compelled."
-not to mention the grievance industry having bought the propaganda of CAIR's apostles in places like Ferguson, Sanford, St. Louis, Detroit etc.
