Alabama brings back slavery for Latinos ›

So, here is how it goes. First, the state passes a harsh immigration law. Then, it detains large numbers of immigrants. Third, private prisons (LCS, CCA, GEO) receive fresh inmates. And finally, the artificially created labor shortage is supplied by the new inmates. Does this sound like modern-day slavery to anyone?

The rest of the country can only look in shock and dismay, as once again, Alabama, a state renowned for its historical role in racism, segregation and slavery, leads the nation into another round of shame.

Status Crow

so, let me get this straight

they come, they work, get paid chicken shit

then

they get arrested, put into private prisons, forced to do the same kind of work they were doing, only now they dont get paid and they’re in shackles?

the fuck?

sounds like it to me

This is exactly how Black people were re-enslaved after emancipation. EXACTLY.

I feel sick

that’s fucked up

    How does it make sense to lock up illegal workers and then…put them back to work? I am not understanding you, Alabama.
