Some things never change, Alabama plantations can’t seem to work without slave labor.

Time for Americans to step up and replace stoop labor with automation. Artificially holding down wages for the sake of slave labor from mexico only prolongs the mechanization of crop production.

Tennessee used inmates all over the state in the 1800’s for mining and agriculture.

Your choice. Rot in a 6X8 or work outside.

Won’t work in the field? Can’t draw unemployment. Problem solved.

Don’t confuse work-release program with slave labor.Nobody is forced to work,they can lay in their cell all day if they want.

End all welfare, adjust the wages to market levels and there will be plenty of people to work.

We use work release people where I work. They are not slaves and they aren’t even really “inmates”. They are in transition from prison to release. They don’t have to work but will go back to prison to serve the rest of their time if they don’t. They are paid market rates for their labor.
