    everything you’re wearing right now

    Much of that is cotton. I believe that in the “good” ol’ days the US grew that themselves. Start that industry up again, and you don’t need mass deportations across the border.

      You could even run the farms the same way as in the olden days, if you criminalize and incarcarate enough black people.

        Well boy howdy, it turns out we already been done doin that there part about criminalizing and incarcerating them black people just out of sheer racism. You’re telling me that there could’ve been a profit motive to it this whole time too?

        jk, private contracted prisons were already profiting deeply off of that.

      All we need to keep that industry running like the good ol’ days is a massive industry of government subsidized illegal immigration of easily identified persons

      The US still makes massive amounts of cotton. That all gets exported to other countries before getting turned into garments and things.

      Cotton takes a LOT of water to grow. And takes up farmland that could grow food.

      Most of your clothes are artificial fabrics these days. Or blended
