Republican policies could cost Georgia a billion dollars - will voters forget?

​They're not what most people would picture as "migrant workers." They're mostly white, they have campers and RVs, toddlers and lap dogs--everything but steady, year-round jobs. But at a trailer park in Campbellsville, Ky., scores of these "Amazon Gypsies" come every year to plug their mobile homes into free power and work at $10-per-hour jobs, filling orders for Amazon.com for the Christmas season.

The phenomenon is not new, and apparently there are around 500,000 folks who use RVs and campers to migrate the country, searching for work, as opposed to searching for tourist traps and nature hikes. There's even a website, Workamper.com, that caters to the nomadic population.

Democrats just try to keep some form of slavery alive.
 
The Georgia farmers hopefully learned the lesson that they can't operate criminal enterprises. Now they should go out and hire American citizens, raising the wage offered if necessary.

I'm not sure it's that black and white. The federal government has added to the problem by handing out welfare benefits to those not working. Who wants to work out on a farm in 100 degree heat all day when you can just sit back, do nothing, and collect food stamps and a Section 8 housing allowance.

You need to get rid of welfare first and then the free market principles will return to the farming industry.
 
Looks like they already forgot the cost of hating brown people


Oh so now its hating??

Jeeze. Illegal is illegal.

Mayby you should look up the definition in your dictionary. You know. The one you use to look up democracy??
 
Does it matter?? If they aren't illegal then they left of their own accord.

Doesn't make anyone a hater for wanting the law upheld.

Typical TDM BS statement.

Get rid of technology first and we will naturally return to farming.

And goat herding. And campfires.

And starvation, famine, epidemic diseases, shorter lifespans, slavery, wars over resources, and all the other things you claim you hate.
 
So you would rather see the previous "left wing policy" put back in place? Allowing illegal (and legal) migrant workers to work in the fields for a fraction of the prevailing minimum wage, and allowing the owners of these huge farms to house their migrant workers in rundown shacks with no plumbing and no proper sanitation?


Y'know, this actually a very good point. Thing is, in all the arguments for these get-tough-on-illegals laws I don't recall ever hearing fair treatment of the workers themselves used as part of the argument.

Wonder why that's such a concern now...
