Well, we certainly could bring back slavery. If we could force illegal immigrants into slavery and have them live in tent cities behind every Wal-Mart — where they would live when they weren’t working there — it would drive down prices even further and the remaining poor and needy would benefit. It would be the ultimate “competitive advantage” don’t you think?
Strikes me as a “green” solution too since all those folks living in the tent city wouldn’t need cars.
Maybe they could grow medical marijuana there too?
