The crackdown by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement is causing a labor shortage, raising the possibility that the Trump regime will address it in frightening ways. In a new On-Target short video, Steven Beschloss and I discuss an article by historian Timothy Snyder about the prospect of an archipelago of concentration camps that could supply workers to private businesses. Also, Trump has talked about letting farmers keep undocumented workers and be “in charge” of them. This approach raises the prospect of horrible abuses – and even the modern equivalent of slavery.
