Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Prediction time: The American agriculture industry and their bribed pet politicians will float the idea of using undocumented-immigrant detainees as prison labour for farms.
They probably already do that, but yeah, that's the only end result I can see for this (other than the collapse of the American agricultural industry)
I'll make a further prediction. Those immigrants will be given a choice: voluntarily leave permanently, or stay and work for N number of years to "earn their residency". And then the "voluntarily leave" process will be slowly gutted of resources to process those applications in a timely way. The end result will be massive numbers of people who are technically allowed to leave the US whenever they want, but in practice each immigrant will be picking crops at no cost to the agriculture industry for years. Including their kids "of working age".
Oh lord, and liberals would tout it as a "humane solution to the immigration 'problem'"
Step back from the lathe, please
It's disturbing how easy it is to imagine these scenarios. All I have to do is think "what's the most cruel thing the ruling class could do to both cut costs and demonize the workers without scaring wealthy liberals who imagine themselves as progressive?"
basically a hybrid of the Saudi system and good ole U.S. style indentured servitude
And to give immigrants false hope/mock them they'll install signs that say "Work sets you free"
