White House Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair has reportedly urged Republicans to shift their messaging about President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda.

During House Republicans’ annual retreat in Doral, Florida, this week, Blair privately encouraged lawmakers to stop focusing their messaging on ā€œmass deportations,ā€ according to Axios. Instead, Blair reportedly suggested lawmakers focus on the deportation of violent criminals.

Following the report, Blair shared a message on social media voicing support for Republicans’ immigration agenda.

    Those are for the future Federal 13th Amendment Slave Laborers.

    You don’t have to just worry about losing your job to AI or Robotics, you could also lose it to a SLAVE.

      Or become a slave, seems just as probable. Why do they need the capacity to detain millions of people if they are supposedly deporting all the criminals.

        Exactly. They just need a lot of criminals, so they make things like homelessness a crime. Sure, they detain people, but they have bed to sleep in, a roof over their heads, and meals. In exchange, they have to work off their room and board, and learn basic societal behavior. What kind of a monster can object to that?

        And then the unemployment rate gets too high due to AI and automation, and they make unemployment illegal. If you expect to collect unemployment, you’ll be expected to work for whomever the government leases you to.

        Too much debt? Off to the camps, where you will work off your debts for the government.

        Only through the sweat of honest labor can you truly appreciate the Freedom that America offers.

        Arbeit Macht Frei.

        Somebody should put that over the front gates of the camp.

      When slavers have to choose between economic success and maintaining slavery they always have chosen the latter. Make no mistake, any economic benefits will be used to subsidize the establishment and maintainance of violent dominance.
