The Democratic Party was the party of slavery, and after slavery was abolished they became the party of Jim Crow, establishing a system of enforced racial segregation that continued a century beyond the War Between the States. As the Democratic Party of today does all it can to project its racism upon its opponents, they also continue to exploit a group of people they see as a servant class, just as they did during the age of slavery. In 2025 the Democrats support an open border and stand against the work being done by federal immigration efforts even though enforcing immigration law and closing the border is an important part of the effort to stop human trafficking. Thanks to Democratic Party policies we have people kidnapped from their families, sexually abused, and trafficked as slaves. For power and riches they don’t want to stand against Mexican and South American cartels who abduct women and children, hook them on drugs, and traffic them as sex slaves across the United States. Instead of standing against slavery, they call ICE agents the Ku Klux Klan and claim that the Republican Party is racist, and Trump is a fascist.
The Democratic Party’s tendency toward supporting slavery doesn’t stop there. The party of The Great Society continues to enslave Blacks, as well. Through government welfare programs the Black Community has become mentally enslaved by the Democrats. Now we have modern urban plantations in the form of impoverished black communities that are kept in misery because they’ve been convinced by the Democrats that there is no escape – but not to worry for if you remain loyal to the Democratic Party, they’ll take care of you with government programs. Like the slaves, in return for loyalty you’ll be fed, housed, and given access to basic needs. You’ll be in poverty, says the message, but if you have to take care of yourself, it’ll be much worse. So, using false promises, bare minimum living standards, and scare tactics about the racist Republicans, Democrats keep black voters needing them rather than encouraging them to take advantage of American opportunities and recognizing that pulling yourself up by the bootstraps is available to anyone in America if you are just willing to reach out and grab them.
Joe Biden in an interview on May 22, 2020 during an interview on The Breakfast Club radio program reminded the black community of the hold the Democratic Party has on them by declaring, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.” Then, in front of a panel of journalists at the National Association of Black Journalists-National Association of Hispanic Journalists 2020 virtual convention he implied Democrats lacked diversity of thought.
The Party of Slavery’s greatest trick, however, has been its ability to maintain and advance new forms of the institution of slavery that goes way beyond their enslavement of Blacks on the Democratic Party Government Plantation. Slavery was basically a system of cheap labor and servants for upper class elites, which also left many Whites out of the job market. Once slavery ended thanks to the Reconstruction Amendments, it left the Democrats in a position they did not want. Sure, they fought the trends the best they could with poll-taxes, literacy tests and grandfather clauses just to try to prevent Blacks from voting, but none of that even if it succeeded would bring back their cheap labor class of servants.
A new strategy needed to be launched, and The New Deal gave them some ideas. The racists of the Democratic Party had two goals: Keep Blacks quiet and under their thumb, and create a servant class of cheap labor. The first strategy began in the 1960s with The Great Society. Through welfare programs the Democrats could destroy the Black family and make them dependent on government. In other words, look like they are fighting racism by instituting racist programs designed to destroy the Black family and, as Lyndon B. Johnson said, “have those n*****s voting Democrat for 200 years…we’ve gotta give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.”
As they were during slavery, Blacks were taught to be obedient, but now with their vote, to their masters in return for a promise to be taken care of while the purveyors of the whole thing get rich in the process. It has worked ever since, with only recent signs of it wearing thin among Black voters. Trillions of dollars have gone into public assistance, but the Black community is still in poverty, murdering their babies in the womb, and thanking the Democrats for the crumbs they get and the leftist claims that they are too stupid to get an ID to vote, and too stuck in poverty to ever get out of it. But, alas, while the Democrats found a way to stroke their racist tendencies and enslave the Black population on the government plantation, they still didn’t have their slave labor class.
Enter, stage left, unvetted illegal aliens. At first, due to their promises to unions and the American worker, Democrats stood against allowing illegal aliens into the country. Sure, they convinced Ronald Reagan to sign a law for amnesty while promising to secure the border – of which they never took action on, but if you listen to people like Bill Clinton and Joe Biden back in the nineties they were all about securing the border and stopping flow of illegal aliens into the country. What changed?
The Democrats realized that illegal aliens could be a great group to get votes from which would help them remain in power, a great way to compromise America’s sovereignty which plays into their globalist plans, and create that slave labor servant class they hadn’t had since the abolition of slavery. Of course, in the end, their real goal is another form of slavery: socialism – but that’s a discussion for different article.
Now, illegal aliens fill the streets as sex workers (52 percent of sex trafficked women are illegals & 72 percent are immigrants), fill the fields as farm workers, and fill hotels and wealthy homes as largely underpaid servants. In restaurants nearly all of the kitchen work is done by illegal aliens, and in the agriculture sector 76 percent of the exploited workers are immigrants with nearly half of those victims being from Mexico.
Thanks to the policies of the Democratic Party a new cheap labor class has emerged in the United States, with the members of that slave trade arriving as a part of mass illegal immigration. These people, like the slaves of early America, are denied basic rights and protections, work long hours with little pay, unsafe conditions, and like the slaves of the Antebellum Era they are in vulnerable positions that make it nearly impossible for them to leave or seek help safely – especially in the cases of trafficked aliens. The cheap labor of illegal aliens in prostitution and farm work in modern America carries the same stink of cheap, exploitable labor that drove the engines of slavery during the Antebellum Period.
And like the slave holders of old, today’s slave holders are willing to go to war to protect their cheap labor machine. So, when President Trump began using ICE to round up and deport illegal aliens, primarily criminal aliens mind you, the Democratic Party went nuts. How dare anyone try to mess with their slave labor racket. So, their brainwashed radical masses have gone into war-mode and are committing violence against the very people who are trying to end modern slavery in America; ICE and the Border Patrol.
By standing against Trump on this issue, the Democrats are supporting sexual exploitation of women and girls, using illegal aliens as slave labor in the fields, and ensuring restaurants provide the food in a cheaper manner through the exploitation of illegal alien slave labor. And this is not to set aside those aliens plucked out of meatpacking plants where illegals make up 50 percent of that workforce. Illegal labor is the new slave class of a shadow economy in the United States, and it is fully supported, and run, by Democrats.
The problem is not just that it is wrong in so many ways, but the lie that America relies on illegal aliens to fill the jobs nobody wants means that Americans have less jobs available to them. The Democrats would rather give the grunt work to a slave class, and then claim that Americans won’t lower themselves to such jobs. My grandfather came out of World War II and became a farm worker in California’s Central Valley. My son once applied to pick strawberries, but was denied the job because he could not speak fluid Spanish. The reality is, those jobs, and other jobs taken by illegal aliens for criminally low wages, are jobs that could be taken by American Citizens at wages that reach legality. Everyone has to start somewhere, and a long list of blue-collar opportunities are not available to Americans because illegal alien labor dominates those jobs.
While Democrats claim their aim is compassion or necessity, their new slave class of illegal aliens is all about exploitation that doesn’t just hurt the people being taken advantage of. For American families those jobs being taken by illegal aliens leaves families without opportunity to rise out of the Democratic Plantation of welfare. And these jobs are not just in the field or cleaning rooms at the local hotel. Illegal aliens are even driving big rigs – jobs that could be held by Americans – and by putting illegal aliens behind the wheels of these trucks we have been witnessing catastrophic consequences such as the illegal U-turn in Florida that killed three innocent people.
Commercial trucking for many Americans could be a pathway to the middle class. How many Americans have missed out on those opportunities because an illegal alien filled the job? About one in five truckers are foreign-born, many of whom may not meet the same standards as their American counterparts.
In the end, however, the slave class of illegal aliens and the Democratic plantation keeping Blacks in poverty is all about power. Blacks, for fear of losing their benefits, have been convinced that if you don’t vote Democrat you’ll lose all of those benefits and you’ll be out on the street because according to the Democrats you can’t get out of poverty. Illegal aliens, for fear of being deported, vote Democrat as well in many cases. And then, with the census unconstitutionally counting illegal aliens for the purpose of apportionment in the House of Representatives, even if they don’t vote the presence of mass numbers of illegal aliens solidifies Democratic seats in Congress – especially when the Democrats gerrymander.
While President Trump has identified the reality of modern slavery as it is perpetrated by the Democrats, and how they use it to secure and increase their power, the response has been chaos. The Democratic Plantation and illegal alien policies are their Holy Grail. It opens their opportunities to not only keep their power, but opens floodgates for corporations to prioritize profits over people – and at the expense of lives and human dignity. The family model is becoming a relic. Supporting a family on a single factory job or working in the field is gone for many Americans. Due to Democratic policies of which Trump has largely exposed, jobs have been going overseas, and the ones remaining are partly filled by illegal workers willing, or forced, to accept lower wages and subpar conditions.
The great lies about needing illegal aliens for unwanted jobs, and that government is there to help when it comes to benefits, displaces citizens who are willing to work if given fair incentives. But the Democrats would rather foster the existence of an underclass to prop up their power and their desire for servitude by those they actually look down their noses at. The key to fix it is not government interference in our lives, government benefits, and a slave class. The key is the free market. Reduce unnecessary government regulations, lower taxes (including corporate taxes) and remove the obstacles in the way of entrepreneurship and prosperity will rise. A rising tide raises all boats. Clinging to the Democratic Plantation and an illegal alien slave class while coupled with policies instituting deliberate sabotage on the American Dream only invites more tragedy while lining the pockets of Democrats, and feeding them more unearned power. They don’t want a thriving economy because then they lose people feeding on the government teat, they lose their illegal alien slave class, and they will then ultimately lose elections. That’s why they fight tooth and nail against Trump’s successful tariff policies, immigration law being enforced, and anything that might release Blacks from the grip of government welfare programs. A free market being used properly changes everything, and in the end will end the underclass of illegal aliens serving as modern-day slave labor, create more American jobs with greater opportunities, produce higher salaries and bringing middle class jobs back to the United States.
