You Call This A “News Report” ?
Recently, I saw a video clip of a southwestern state farmer whining about his fruit allegedly, rotting on the vine. The video made the rounds of the MSM shows, and I imagine it was on CNN and MSNBC too. The story was that illegal aliens, caught by ICE, and detained, were no longer picking his fruit, and he claimed he couldn’t get anybody to work for him. He claimed Americans wouldn’t do the work.
In every case, the FAKE NEWS media ended the “report” right there, with nothing shown about the other side of this subject. Here’s what the liberal BS media chose to not mention, and leave viewers uninformed about >>>
1. No mention that the farmer was paying substandard wages, and minimal benefits (if any).
2. No mention of repeated studies by CIS ( Center for Immigration Studies) that have shown there are more Americans working in jobs (including ones that immigrants commonly do) than immigrants (including farm/orchards).
3. The toughest, dirtiest, and most dangerous jobs in America are being done by Americans, not illegal aliens (Examples ? >> cops, firefighters, coal miners, troops in Afghanistan & Iraq)
Oh, so the farmer claims he can’t afford to pay a standard American wage or offer benefits ? Well, then that means he can’t afford to be in the business he’s in, and he shouldn’t be in it. If he can’t afford to hire American citizens at normal American wage rates & benefits, then that simply means he’s no different than the rest of us, who also can’t afford to own an orchard, or some other business. He should do what all the rest of us do who are in the same category >> Get a job!
But we won’t hear that on the FAKE NEWS media, will we ? Of course not. They continue to push the leftist narrative that supports illegal immigration, gives sanctuary and stacks up millions of VOTES for Democrats.
It’s time for the Republicans to expose the “poor farmer” routine for the sham that it is.
