Democrats and 21st Century Slavery?

 In most accounts of the War Between the States, we are told that the war was all about the issue of slavery. The Southern States still allowed slavery, which had been practiced here for hundreds of years if you include the practices of the Indians or Native Americans. The Northern States claimed to abhor slavery, but there were a few slaves there and an unknown number of indentured servants. Indentured servitude was just high-grade slavery for a fixed amount of time. If you have not heard of indentured servitude, don't worry about it. You are in the majority of Americans.

In 2026. 163 years after Lincoln allegedly freed the slaves, Democrats are still fighting for slavery. If you don't believe me, ask Nancy Pelosi. She's the former Speaker of the House who asserts that we need illegal immigrants to harvest our crops, cook our meals, do our yard work and take care of our children. Where's Nancy's plantation located? If only she had referred to Hakeem Jeffries as "that colored boy", she could have played a starring role in the Democratic Party 2026 remake of "Gone with the Wind".

Just for the record, I am one of those fact-lovers who don't believe that the Civil War was about slavery. The war started in early 1861. It was January 1, 1863, before Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. What took so long?  First, he had to wait until they had won a battle to make that announcement. Beyond that, he had to do something to generate the support for "Mr. Lincoln's War".

When you point this out to the fairy tale believers, they tell you that the slaves were freed by the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865. There are serious legal issues about the way that the 13th, 14th and 15 Amendments were actually adopted, if in fact they were legally adopted. I will save that for a future rant.

Illegal immigrants are the slaves of the 21st Century in America. No one tells us that we need to let in more illegals so that they can be lawyers, doctors. teachers or even Democratic Party leaders. No, the story is always the same. We need them to do the work that our own people are too lazy to do for themselves.

We need people to do all of those lower-level jobs because we (meaning the government) are paying healthy Americans NOT to work. We are providing food, shelter and medical care for people who are just too damn lazy to work. We need to end this practice.

If that situation isn't bad enough, we then provide free housing and food to the illegals coming in to do the work of those who refuse to work. It's paying twice for the same half-assed job to be done. 

So, the people who claim to have opposed slaves being brought from Africa are okay with slaves being brought from Mexico and Central and South America? I believe that the current expression is, "Make that make sense."

It's not about a better life here in the United States for the illegal immigrants, it's about cheap labor for the hypocrites who populate the Democratic Party. If you don't believe me, ask Nancy Pelosi. You better hurry, she only has a couple of weeks left in Congress. You can bet your ass that she won't be taking any serious questions after that.
