Politico Magazine Article: “What If You Could Get Your Own Immigrant?”

[T'Challa Shakur]

Politico Magazine recently published an article called "What if you could get your own immigrant?" while the editorial staff has since altered the headline to "Sponsor your own Immigrant" due to some backlash. The theme and basis of this article written by two white males remains the same.

It advocates for slavery.

Modern day slavery and not just in institutions but in the home of the wealthy in america. This is some Altered Carbon shit and it scares me that this thought could even be conjured up, put on paper, approved by an editor and then posted on a website many considered reputable. In 20 fucking 18.

Choice passage from the article.

Imagine a woman named Mary Turner, who lives in Wheeling, West Virginia. She was recently laid off from a chicken-processing plant and makes ends meet by walking and taking care of her neighbors' pets. Mary could expand her little business by hiring some workers, but no one in the area would accept a wage she can afford. Mary goes online—to a new kind of international gig economy website, a Fiverr for immigrants—and applies to sponsor a migrant. She enters information about what she needs: someone with rudimentary English skills, no criminal record and an affection for animals. She offers a room in her basement, meals and $5 an hour. (Sponsors under this program would be exempt from paying minimum wage.) The website offers Mary some matches—people living in foreign countries who would like to spend some time in the United States and earn some money. After some back and forth, Mary interviews a woman named Sofia who lives in Paraguay.

Sofia, who grew up in a village, has endured hardships that few Americans can imagine. She is eager to earn some money so that she could move to her nation's capital city and get some vocational training. A few weeks later, Sofia arrives in Wheeling, after taking a one-week training course on American ways. If things don't work out, the agency that runs the website will find a new match for Sofia, and Mary will find someone new as well.
