The new SLAVE class

And here I thought slavery was made illegal in the United States with the 13th Amendment to our constitution.

So, now we've got our Congressmen and our President talking about allowing illegal aliens to remain in our country to work jobs that Americans won't work. It makes me sick every time I hear that phrase. I bet this same argument was made in the debate arguing to keep slaverly legal over 100 years ago. "Those black slaves are doing jobs that white people won't do."

I just listened to Ted Kennedy on the Senate floor talking about his immigration bill. He talks about all the new laws that it will create. Mr. Kennedy, what difference will that make when we don't enforce the laws that already exist? He talks about how his bill is not giving illegal aliens amnesty. Yet, he just said minutes before that we must recognize that we won't be deporting the 11 million illegal aliens we have in the country now. So, they are here illegally and won't be deported, they face no punishment for their crime. Mr. Kennedy, how is that not amnesty? That is the very definition of amnesty.

So, at what point are we going to need another amendment to the constitution to free all of our new slaves? When do we enforce our labor laws and insist that all these "guest workers" are paid at least minimum wage? When will they to be given an apology and promised a plot of land and a donkey to compensate the violation of their human rights?

We have 11 million illegal aliens in this country because in 1986 we gave amnesty to 3 million. So if we do this again, in 2026 are we going to have to debate what to do with the 37 million illegal aliens we will have in the country?
