    Even I didn't expect them to be nearly so honest on the question of what they're going to do once they prevent enough immigrants from coming here to do agricultural work. Did not see them just standing up and proudly going "child labor, duh."

        Pretty sure that dials already cranked up about as far as it will go.

        Plus I think it's a lot less convenient to have your literal slaves working out in the fields, people might start drawing connections.

        Better to keep them in a giant windowless manufacturing plant.

            Fortunately for them charging people with crimes they didn't commit is always a reliable option.

        I thought agricultural labor was what the prison slaves were (mostly) already doing
