‘What’s wrong with slavery?': Iowa radio host wants to turn immigrants into US ‘property

A conservative radio host in Iowa said that instead of deporting undocumented immigrants, state officials should push to make them “property,” Media Matters reported.

Jan Mickelson said he took inspiration from Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio for the idea, which would involve putting immigrants into “tent cities” if they did not follow a deadline to leave the state.

When Trump becomes mainstream, the wacko radio hosts have to really stretch to hit beyond right-wing absurdity.

Slavery, or Soylent Green. Or maybe something even more dastardly and inhumane!
