Trump has already floated the trial-balloon of renting out detainees as labour, plus the 13th Amendment in their constitution actually permits slavery for incarcerated persons, so they have their legal loophole.</p><p>You watch: once the camps are all set up the next move for the administration to say: “Welp, it’s only fair that all these illegals should have to contribute to the cost of their upkeep” and for the prison-industrial complex to start leasing detainees back to the farms, motels and Home Depots that they scooped them up from, for a tidy profit of course.</p><p>This is the intersection where end-stage capitalism meets white supremacy. Corporations despise paying for labour, since it represents one of their biggest line-items, and you can’t get cheaper than free (or nearly free). </p><p>Whatever can’t be automated will be replaced by slave labour, and the neat thing about prison labour is that anyone can be turned into a criminal with the simple stroke of a pen.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/EndStageCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EndStageCapitalism</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/PrisonIndustrialComplex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PrisonIndustrialComplex</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/SlaveLabour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SlaveLabour</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/WhiteSupremacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WhiteSupremacy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Nazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Nazis</span></a></p>
