Well, fuck those Trump farmers.
lol. Wait until a head of lettuce costs $14.
It’s not a laughing matter. The poors will pay, and the rich people won’t notice.
“how much can one banana cost, Michael? Ten dollars?”
Lol yep the only crops we will get will have to be imported and heavily tariffed. Gg Trump
Would that be Trump voting farmers?
I live in farm country, and yes these guys are constantly voting republican and complaining endlessly about illegals, they buy into this non sense and they genuinely think it some how magically won’t effect them, or that white migrant farm workers are going to magically appear.
My wife was born and raised in SE Idaho, potato country. Their tiny hometown has a ton of illegal Hispanics, and ALL the potato farms hire them. But they all vote straight Republicans
These people are fucking stupid.
Oh don’t worry, Trump has a plan to remove minimum wage, so Americans can work the fields. That combined with anti homeless supreme Court rulings means your ass will work the fields for $2 an hour or for free from prison.
I’m fairly certain Trump intends to arrest all the illegal looking folk that he can and then use them as prison labor for all the jobs that they used get paid for.
Would these be the same farmers that voted for Trump? 🤔
“Ah sure ahm tired of all the mean tweets, but he tells it like it is!”
Let’s see how the Florida’s harder stance on immigration is going after a couple years:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/florida-immigration-law-significant-unintended-consequences/
“Rogelio Rauda, an undocumented worker from Honduras doing construction in Crystal River, Florida, says only eight workers he knows came to the disaster zone out of the hundreds he says typically show up.”
“Hetrick says what Florida is facing is symbolic of the larger reality in the country — where there is an aging population and politicians framing immigration as a threat rather than fixing a broken system.”
Yep
The FO phase can finally begin
It happened in 2016 and they found out and they went back to the trough for more toadstool.
Yeah, if Trump deports all those people, who will we exploit for cheap labor?
History has many examples of how shipping urban intellectuals off to work on farms rids you of said intellectuals and leads to (checks notes) mass starvation. Since that’s the worst possible outcome, I imagine he’s going to go with that.
Well I’m hoping white people but we know how well that worked in Georgia and Arizona, we found out they’re just too soft to work those jobs despite being told they would be taking their jerb back
The migrant workers are often subjected to working conditions that would violate federal worker protection laws, but because they are in the country illegally, they don’t report the poor working conditions out of fear. That’s exploitation, through and through. No worker should be expected to tolerate such poor treatment, regardless of skin color.
These companies depend on immigrant labor… Will they stand idly by while government takes away their exploitable pool of undocumented immigrants?
Likely not, but Trumpism is very quid pro quo based, so those companies that have the means to gain favor with Trump might be able to keep their laborers or gain exclusive rights to immigrant laborers. The smaller companies will be sacrificed in this regard.
Prisoners
There you go. It will be a boon for the prison industrial complex. God bless capitalism.
