I mean like, with your slaves.

I own some decent fallow land in Georgia and a nice little suburban home in the West so I'd have to see if slaves are a cost effective replacement for migrant labor

Depends on the slave stock. I'm guessing we'll use prisoners of war as slaves, so I'll probably want to make sure I don't get any crazy jihadis. I'll have to make sure my slaves are weak willed.

I'd probably make them clean my house, I like to cook dinner so they could do the dishes and I'd imagine I'd get the bigger portions.

Hmm....

Maybe I'd make them get jobs or something to help pay for the living costs?

I guess if we're using prisoners of war as slaves, then I'll have to reenlist and go die in some loving desert or something. Oh well, it must have been my time.

No no no! You can buy them when they're brought back!

Let the soldiers do the capturing of women and children and buy them from the slavers who sell them at auction.
No need to bloody your own hands.

I'm a kind master so I'd imagine I'd make the slaves sign a 10 year contract and after 10 years they'd be freed.

I'm not bringing poo poo back. I'm going full Three Kings, and setting myself up for a comfy expat retirement after I commit a bunch of state sanctioned war crimes that leave me unable to sleep at night

I didn't say it was an expat retirement in the desert, because why the gently caress would it be?

Anyway, I might be 32 years old, and 10 years out of the Air Force, but I would absolutely join back up if Trump became president, if only because that would be the only secure job in our increasingly volatile economy

If he becomes president I'm going to try and get a cabinet position with the sole points that I'm young, ambitious, and gonna make it great.

I'm sure there's a joke to be made here, but I haven't watched The Apprentice, so I'm not the one to make it.

So, instead, I'll make this pointless placeholder post, because that reflects our society somehow. I need another beer.

Both border regions in Mexico are really bad, the touristy areas are only bad if you're a local or owe money and Mexico City owns so long as you're rich or a high end prostitute

If I had a slave they would probably bully and manipulate my weak-willed rear end into a position where I'm the one doing all the work and having my freedom imposed upon but they still pretend that I'm their master so they can get out of paying taxes.

It's kind of a joke, but it's also kind of reality, and that's why zika and other mosquito borne illnesses are still an issue, because air conditioning isn't widely available outside of the US.

Also, DDT being banned doesn't help, because it did a really drat good job of controlling mosquitoes, but here we are.
DDT isn't banned for vector control and is actively used by the WHO in many countries because it works very well, is comparatively easy and cheap to produce, and requires less regular respraying inside buildings than its current alternatives. Thousands of tons of DDT are produced per year for this express purpose.

I'm sorry the agricultural lobby has poisoned your brain so badly that you have conflated DDT being banned for commercial agriculture with its use in fighting third-world outbreaks of malaria and other insect-borne diseases.

white slaves would without a doubt be the cheapest

unless, I suppose, their value is artificially inflated for the exact reason you just invoked for wanting one. that's possible. I doubt it, though, you'd get so little utility out of a white slave that it would probably be more cost-effective to just pay a free mexican an actual wage.
