Seems that the agriculture industries and the Dairy farms are having fits because their workforce isn’t showing up because they are afraid f ICE raids.…so the cows aren’t getting milked and the vegetables are not getting picked. Farmers , especially corporate farms, are losing millions of dollars.
I am kinda glad to see it. If it were not for these businesses hiring (and PAYING) the illegals, they would likely not be here. If the businesses paid more, then they could get US Citizens to do the work….
If they are losing their workforce now, then I really don’t feel sorry for the businesses. Fuck ’em, they were part of the problem.
The migrants would come up here, pick crops and other farm jobs, then go back home to Mexico or or other countries and live with their families. Trump should let them do their job and go home or food cost will sky rock, while crops rot.
The problem is that they DON’T go home.
Then they expect (and get) benefits.
INstead of living on the farms for the few weeks while they pick croips, now the invade the towns. THen crime goes up.
Then they bring their women and kids
Then they expect citizens rights without acting like citizens.
Then they bring down local wages.
Yeah, if they were just guest workers, I might agree with you. But they don’t leave.
Moreso, if prices go up, that is a cost of doing business.
We literally have government programs to import labor that we NEED.
Let’s just follow the laws……………
It’s amazing how many citizens line up for jobs once the illegals are gone…

I remember going to work circa 1986 having to bring paperwork proving I was eligible to work in America……………..
Guess we stopped doing that.
I remember that. Went to my crew to get their documentation for the office. Asked one of them “Cesar, you got a green card?” He said “Oh, yeah.” Hands me a green card. All that it said was “Fuck you, gringo.”
I agree
But, if big daddy government wouldn’t pay so much to the free-loader ‘murican; then they would be out there milking those cows.
I understand the frustration — I’ve seen the undercutting up close. I grew up working farms, housing tobacco, and trying to get work where I could. Being a reputable tobacco hand 50ish years ago, I offered to help a farmer who said he had Mexicans working for $1.75 an hour but would pay me $2.50 — I told him the going rate was $3.25, and he just shrugged.
What struck me then — and still does — is how quick folks were to blame the Mexicans instead of the guy signing the checks.
I want the Mexicans deported and the owner arrested………
The Mexicans (Or whatever non US-citizens labor) cross illegally. There should be consequences for that.
The EMPLOYER needs to have big fines, like $1000 per illegal per day kind of fines. Discourage the employment of any non US citizens (or Green Card holder)…such that the fear of being caught way outweighs the cost savings from hiring illegals for peanuts.
Additionally, if we taxed “Remittances” then the incentive to come here to work (and undercut US citizen labor) would dry up rapidly
It’s time to penalize the people hiring the illegals! Those laws are on the books, but seldom enforced.
