To make them stand in fear

ABC News ~ By DAVID ESPO, Associated Press
House Conservatives Blast Immigration Bill
House conservatives criticized President Bush, accused the Senate of fouling the air, said prisoners rather than illegal farm workers should pick America’s crops and denounced the use of Mexican flags by protesters Thursday in a vehement attack on
legislation to liberalize U.S. immigration laws.
“I say let the prisoners pick the fruits,” said Rep. Dana Rohrabacher of California, one of more than a dozen Republicans who took turns condemning a Senate bill that offers an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants an opportunity for citizenship.

It is a pity,” a North Carolina planter wrote sadly, “that agreeable to the nature of things Slavery and Tyranny must go together and that there is no such thing as having an obedient and useful Slave, without the painful exercise of undue and tyrannical authority.” The legislatures and courts of the ante-bellum South recognized this fact and regulated the relationship of master and slave accordingly. “The power of the master must be absolute, to render the submission of the slave perfect,” a southern judge once affirmed. Short of deliberately killing or maliciously maiming them, the owner did have almost absolute power over his chattels.
