Legal Status Now Comes with a Boss. During a speech at the Iowa State Fair Grounds, Donald Trump explained his immigration plan for undocumented workers in agriculture: Let the farmers vouch for them. “They work very hard… they bend over all day… some farmers literally cry… If a farmer is willing to vouch, we’ll be good with it.” He’s essentially describing a system where laborers remain undocumented, underpaid, and dependent on wealthy landowners to avoid deportation. That's not immigration reform. That’s indentured servitude by proxy. The 13th Amendment abolished slavery; except as punishment for a crime. But this? This is just recreating the power dynamic… minus the chains and with tears for cover.

It ties legal status to employer approval, raising 13th Amendment and due process concerns.   submitted by   /u/Khazzick   to   r/law [link]   [comments]
