1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: Some days, Washington Post ran a big blaring headline thousands 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: of ICE detainees claim they were forced into labor, a 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,719 Speaker 1: violation of anti slavery laws. Wow, that sounds really bad. 4 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: I'll bet right now you're asking, what's this all about, 5 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: il rushboe. Well, the first thing you need to know, folks, 6 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,439 Speaker 1: is this supposed forced labor happened during the Obama administration. 7 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 1: A two thousand fourteen lawsuits getting attention now because the 8 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: federal judge just granted the defendants class action status. When 9 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: this suit just began, it was nine defendants. Lawyers were 10 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 1: suing for five million dollars. But with class action status, 11 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: damages for up to sixty thousand illegal immigrants could grow substantially, 12 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,319 Speaker 1: says the Post. In other words, the lawyers could hit 13 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 1: the jackpot if they prevail. Here's what else you need 14 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: to know. The lawsuit is against a private prison run 15 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: by an evil corporation. This is the first lawsuit of 16 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: its kind to get this far. Liberals are excited because 17 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: they hate private prisons with a passion. Now, the most 18 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: important fact, the legal immigrants were never slaves. They were volunteers. 19 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: They chose to work for the pay they received it's 20 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: a normal arrangement in jails and prisons and attention facilities. 21 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: Legal precedent allows prisons to offer inmates reduced wages like this, 22 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: especially since they're not paying for their own upkeep. But 23 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: the people behind the lawsuit are leftists. They're trying to 24 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: bankrupt the system, they're trying to enrich themselves, and mostly 25 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: they're trying to grandstand just for you.
