In The Young Turks on YouTube by Hlarson1 Comment

 

Jan Mickelson is a conservative AM radio host from Iowa. He recently floated an idea on his show about enslaving undocumented immigrants. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

“Iowa radio host and influential conservative kingmaker Jan Mickelson unveiled an immigration plan that would make undocumented immigrants who don’t leave the country after an allotted time “property of the state,” asking, “What’s wrong with slavery?” when a caller criticized his plan.

  1. Talk about “unintended consequences!” Should this a$$hole ever succeed in bringing about his slavery idea for illegals it will end up flooding the country with the very illegals he is trying to eradicate. All he will do is to create a market for them. Corporations will buy them by the bushel as they will finally achieve what they have wanted all along…the cheapest of labor. Soon we will not be able to import them fast enough and will have to set up breeding farms. That is what happened in the South and unregulated capitalism always seeks its own greedy level.
