I think the endgame is likely to be a vast expansion of the prison system into all these new facilities that are being built, and then all the back breaking labor that used to be done consensually by migrants for pay is going to start to be done non-consensually by prisoners for nothing.
If some of those prisoners are citizens who spoke out against Trump or attended a protest, then so much the better.
So, slavery
