I think it is clear at this point that the MAGA plan is to ultimately replace migrant workers paid in wages, with slaves that are inmates in private prisons, with their upkeep paid for by working class tax payers. The MAGA plan is also to make some of those migrants formerly paid by wages, into the slave laboring prisoners.

Today in Labor History May 6, 1794: Toussaint L'Ouverture launched the Haitian revolution for independence against France. As a result of this revolution, the formerly enslaved people declared independence from France in 1804, making Haiti the first free black republic in the world. The U.S. refused to recognize Haiti for the next 70. France extracted millions in restitution, destroying any hope of ever moving out of deep poverty. The slave revolt against the French began in 1791 with the call by Dutty Boukman, a vodou priest. (For a really great history of the Haitian revolution, please see the Black Jacobins, by C. L. R. James)
