The president's comments suggested a vague plan that would allow the government to bring back "great" people who are "working hard" and who "go out ... in a nice way."
We’re going to slow it down a little bit for them, and then we’re going to ultimately bring them back. They’ll go out. They’re going to come back as legal workers."
Translation: they are going to come back as a
El Salvadorian prison workers, and as prisoners they are going to be legally slaves.
They are American prisoners. They are being sent to El Salvador prisons because nobody in America would build a legit concentration camp here.
The ones that survive are going to come back as literal slaves.
There's probably some loophole shenanigans around oversight for basic human rights by having the prison, itself, be an entity of another country entirely. Probably some law written in the 18th century. Americans wouldn't stand for the level of suffering these people are about to endure...so they want to make sure American's don't see it.
