On the July 11 edition of MSNBC's Now with Alex Wagner, MSNBC analyst Joy Reid cast Republicans as racist when it came to immigration reform, equating the idea of temporary work visas as akin to indentured servitude: “Didn’t we do this before? Wasn’t it called ‘indentured servitude,’ where you come, and you pay all this money out, his money out — you’re not a citizen, but you’re legally allowed to work on the farm? This sounds like indentured servitude, is what they want....It is also a very ugly, sort of, ethnic argument, that they don’t want to add more brown people to the population of the United States underlying this argument....This whole premise is so racially ugly.”
