Republicans Say the Darndest Things: Who Will Build Trump's Wall? Answered!

Jan Mickelson
Conservative Radio Host 


During his August 17 morning radio show, host Jan Mickelson explained his plan for removing all the illegal immigrants from his home state of Iowa, a plan he thinks would work across the nation.

He proposed putting signs up on all the state's highways saying:
"As of this date--whenever we decide to do this--as of this date, 30--this a totally arbitrary number, 30 to 60 days from now anyone who is in the state of Iowa...who is not here legally and who cannot demonstrate their legal status to the satisfaction of the local and state authorities here in the State of Iowa, become property of the State of Iowa.  So if you are here without our permission, and we have given you two months to leave, and you're still here, and we find that you're still here after we've given you the deadline to leave, then you become the property of the State of Iowa.  And we have a job for you,  And we start using compelled labor, the people who are here illegally would therefore be owned by the state and become an asset of the state rather than a liability and we start inventing jobs for them to do...
...Hey, we are not going to make Mexico pay for the wall, we're going to invite the illegal Mexicans and illegal aliens to build it.  If you have come across the border illegally, again give them another 60-day guideline, you need to go home and leave this jurisdiction, and if you don't you become property of the United States, and guess what? You will be building a wall.  We will compel your labor.  You would belong to these United States.  You show up without an invitation, you get to be an asset.  You get to be a construction worker.  Cool!"
When one listener questioned that his plan sounded like slavery, Mr. Mickelson replied:
"Well, what's wrong with slavery?" 
what eye thynk:  And any hope of the Republican Party picking up the Hispanic vote in 2016 continues to recede.

In the race to win the hearts of the dying Republican base--those aging, white, male, Southern evangelical Christian types who hate everyone who isn't them--would anyone want to place a bet on how long it takes Donald Trump and those GOP candidates toiling in his wake to embrace this idea?
