The regime’s plan to replace migrant labor with Medicaid recipients is worse than it seems

Ahead of a Cabinet meeting at the White House, Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins suggested that migrant workers being rounded up by ICE and sent to places like CECOT and Alligator Alcatraz will be replaced by “automation” and… Medicaid recipients.

“But I can't underscore enough. There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce towards automation and 100% American participation, which again, with 34 million people, able-bodied adults on Medicaid. We should be able to do that fairly quickly.“

Why is the Secretary of Agriculture wading into immigration policy in such a sadistic and foolish manner? Because her only qualification is that she grew up on a farm. During the Biden administration, Rollins ran “America First Policy Institute” with now-Secretary of Education and WWE promoter Linda McMahon and former unlawfully-Acting DHS chief Chad Wolf, to form a “White House in waiting” funded by billionaires, lobbyists, and theocrats.

Rollins’s assertion that “we should be able to” replace migrant farm workers with Medicaid recipients “fairly quickly” is a horrific lie. I asked ChatGPT the following question:

Is it possible to replace the migrant worker population with “able-bodied” Medicaid recipients, for example on farms?

Here was ChatGPT‘s response:

Replacing migrant farmworkers with “able-bodied” Medicaid recipients is not a practical or effective solution for several key reasons—legal, economic, logistical, and ethical. Here’s a breakdown:

1. Legal and Constitutional Barriers

• Involuntary Labor: Forcing Medicaid recipients to work on farms would likely violate the 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime.

• Work Requirements vs. Forced Labor: Some states have attempted to impose work requirements for Medicaid or other benefits, but courts have struck many of them down or deemed them counterproductive. Requiring specific types of labor—especially hard physical farm labor—is a far higher legal threshold.

2. Workforce Willingness and Capability

• Farm work is physically demanding and often requires long hours in harsh conditions for low pay. Many “able-bodied” Medicaid recipients may not have the physical ability, skills, or willingness to do this kind of work.

• In practice, even unemployed citizens rarely accept farm jobs, even when offered. Numerous pilot programs and attempts (e.g., in Georgia, Alabama, and North Carolina) to replace undocumented labor with citizens or legal residents have largely failed due to:

  • High turnover rates

  • Low productivity

  • Physical demands

  • Better job alternatives

3. Economic Impact

• Migrant workers are essential to U.S. agriculture because they often accept seasonal, low-wage, and mobile work that few citizens are willing to do.

• Replacing them could disrupt entire food supply chains, leading to:

  • Labor shortages

  • Crop losses

  • Higher food prices

4. Administrative and Logistical Challenges

• There is no existing infrastructure to match Medicaid recipients with agricultural employers or to ensure adequate housing, transportation, or training.

• Many Medicaid recipients are already caring for family members, in school, or dealing with undiagnosed or untreated conditions—even if labeled “able-bodied.”

5. Ethical and Political Ramifications

• The idea of compelling poor or sick people to do manual labor as a condition of receiving healthcare carries echoes of workhouses or indentured servitude and would likely provoke strong public opposition.

• It could stigmatize Medicaid recipients and deepen racial and class divides, since a large percentage of Medicaid recipients are people of color.

Conclusion:

No, it is not feasible—legally, practically, or ethically—to replace the migrant worker population with able-bodied Medicaid recipients. The U.S. agricultural system depends on willing, mobile, experienced labor. Migrant workers—documented or undocumented—play a vital role that can’t be easily filled by domestic populations, particularly those on public assistance.

Of course, ChatGPT misses part of the point, which is that indentured servitude, labor camps, and ultimately slavery is what the regime wants. Here is Russian intelligence subcontractor Benny Johnson with MAGA Congressman Byron Donalds claiming that mass deportation will lead to a “hundred-year” regime that sounds suspiciously like a Reich:

“We think that will end the democrat party that is going to lead to a permanent minority for the democrat party they're going to lose twenty five seats when the deportations happen there's no traffic in LA anymore byron because of the deportations the mass deportations are going to lead to a permanent hundred-year republican majority and their inability to win a presidential that's what we think and that's what we think the tears are actually all about.”

To put a fine point on it, the Trump regime is executing an ethnic cleansing of America. It’s not about “illegals,” it’s about making America white again. This assault will intensify and get far more violent. Yesterday, for no apparent reason beyond pure intimidation, ICE and the National Guard rolled through LA‘s MacArthur Park in a mass military maneuver when there was no one present but 20 kids at summer camp. After Mayor Karen Bass demanded they stop, ICE official Greg Bovino said:

“The federal government is not leaving LA. I don't work for Karen Bass. The federal government doesn't work for Karen Bass. We're going to be here till that mission's accomplished, as I said, and better get used to us now because this is going to be normal very soon.”

As I keep warning, this is not immigration enforcement, it’s an assault on American citizens by the federal government. The people pushing this regime toward more and more radical action do not hide their desires. Here is the “intellectual leader” of the “Dark Enlightenment” and muse to JD Vance and Peter Thiel, Curtis Yarvin, openly promoting a return to slavery.

“Have you considered agriculture?”

The people behind Donald Trump, including JD Vance, are driven by terror of white replacement, the conspiracy theory that there is a deliberate attempt to get rid of Caucasians, so they want slavery back to make white men great again.

The Broligarchy Wants Slavery Back

The mass mobilization of ICE and CBP across America with a $170 billion budget should be a signal to all Americans that the second civil war has already started. We have to face facts, it is now the people vs. the government.
