Do you think perhaps Trump should stop deporting farm workers?

There is a reason why they work those farms, they were hired by American farmers to do good work for Americans and they are doing good work.

Without the extra labor, these farms will fall behind. It is not easy to find workers all of a sudden once yours are taken away.

Like the whole narrative was “worst of the worst” , “freeloaders” , “gangs” , “drug smugglers” , and “rapists”.

Though I do want to say, there are American made worst of the worst that get off lightly.

Freeloaders in the form of corporations getting tax write offs, tax decreases, and govt subsidies / contracts also go unpunished even after sucking up all our resources and polluting the environment , rapists we have more rapists than non citizens who come here , and drug smugglers which happen to be natural born citizens who go both ways across the border after all they know where the supply and demand is in the area where they deal

Pretty simple, leave the hard workers and those bringing a positive experience to this land deserve to live without prejudice and hatred that the media pushes as they want us to be replaced by AI and robots. Elon Musk for example is developing robots to the point, he has a diner to showcase the machines that will take over all jobs especially labor.
It was never about the Mexicans, it was about instilling fear so, the corporations can replace you and take in the profit from the production , selling , and maintenance.
You got played and we all suffer.

Trump and all future Administrations all must stop the deportation of children, farmers, parents, and those that bring about a better day. I said this before and will say again that just because something is illegal doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s wrong.
These are people and worthy of being American just like Irish, Russian, Italian, Jewish, Catholic, Polish, Asian, and more that came to this land facing prejudice of the past. The fact is, they are US V. THEM temporally until they become US.

He should be impeached, or we can hope for an early demise. He's clearly in serious decline.

[dustybiker2]

He won't. Until people start starving. Or having lack of nutrition due to loss of fruits, veggies and nuts. How long does scurvy take to kick in?

[purplepoppy]

So why don't all those people who cry, " immigrants are taking our jobs," Go and do the work?

[dustybiker2]

They tried hiring them. Farmers on Oregon on the news this past month (I could dig for the video - I believe it was cnn youtube - blueberry farmer's if memory serves) saying they whined and quit halfway through the day only pulling a small percentage of the crops hauled by these clearly invaluable workers.

[msc545]

Well, yes, they should - but of course, like the hypocrites they are, they won't.

[goaded]

@dustybiker2 If it's what I read, they were paying above minimum wage, too.

[occulus]

For now, yes. The corruption has been going on for so long that it just can’t be fixed overnight.

If they are in the country illegally than they need to be deported,

[msc545]

Sure, and then you need to do without vegetables and fruits, and a healthy economy.

[exitseven]

@msc545 for decades farmers have had legal migrant workers. Why all of a sudden there are no legal migrants and so we have to hire illegals?
Maybe you should think about why the democrats want to hang on to every single illegal alien that have unlawfully entered the country. Then give them free everything? Do you think thst it might be thst they need a new voting block?

[msc545]

You really misunderstand. The economics of the farm situation are such that if legal wages are paid to LEGAL farm workers (as they must be to hire and retain them), the retail prices of the resulting crops are so high as to catastropically reduce sales to the point that growing crops makes no economic sense, since labor costs are so high.

If the farmer hires illegal aliens, he can greatly reduce his labor costs and sell his crop (s) at a reasonable profit. Illegal aliens do not make wage & hours complaints, and are generally very skilled at the work required.

I know you think that white people, sufficiently starved, will do this work (called "fieldwork") and you are wrong - they will not do it for many reasons. Even if they would, the farmer is back to paying them a legal wage, and the resulting prices to the consumer would again be prohibitively high to the point that almost nobody would buy the fruits and vegetables.

[msc545]

I have asked you repeatedly and you were unable to explain what these people have done to you or you think they're going to do to you. That makes them so dangerous to you that you would literally would like to kill all of them. That's a pretty radical response to people who actually mean you no harm.

[exitseven]

@msc545 We have had farm product since i was a little kid. What has changed? Maybe just greedy farm owners who want to pay slave labor to illegal aliens. It is extra money for them since they get $50.000 each in welfare benefits that the taxpayers are on the hook for.
Puth them all on a troop transport and send them back.

[msc545]

Many things have changed in the 50 years since you were a little kid.

[exitseven]

@msc545 Yes but money is still green.

[msc545]

Well yes it is.

[msc545]

That is also really not the point.

DEPORT YOURSELF, TRUMP !!!
