How Trump's plan to deport undocumented immigrants threatens the U.S. farm workforce

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘Farmers are facing several challenges in keeping their businesses running, including climate change, bird flu outbreaks and higher costs for feed and fertilizer. Now, many of America's farmers must face the possibility of the Trump administration uprooting a huge part of the workforce with its threat of deporting millions of undocumented immigrants. "It's a lot of hands to hand-harvest fruits and vegetables," New Jersey farmer Kurt Alstede said.

More than two-thirds of U.S. crop workers are foreign born, according to the USDA. Many of them came to the country through the H-2A visas, but officials estimate that 42% of the workers are undocumented migrants. Since his first day in office, President Trump has already issued a slew of executive actions to start reshaping federal immigration and border policies. Many of them are expected to face significant legal challenges, but the administration has created fear and uncertainty in the community.’

How Trump's plan to deport undocumented immigrants threatens the workforce for U.S. farm workforce

About 42% of U.S. farm workers are undocumented, and Trump's plan to deport millions of migrants could uproot the industry's workforce.

Most farmers have only themselves to blame, having voted for Trump, against their own interests.

And the threat to the U.S. farm workforce is completely unnecessary, the consequence of Trump voters’ racism, bigotry, and hate, and their unwarranted obsession with the non-issue of immigration.

Sounds like a big corporate farm problem.

They used to do that, it worked ok and could have been made better, but in the '90's politicians started demanding citizenship for them to gain electoral votes and political influence and it worked better than it does now. You don't have to be a citizen to pick crops, but now they build houses, landscape, build roads and bridges, and work in health care. It has created a hugh black phantom economy that competes with the federal reserve. It's like the war economy, they are installed in our system and it may not be possible to undo. We can however, try to absorb what we have now, and wean the freeloaders both native and immigrant off of the teat and move forward. I don't trust our elected officials to even try.

Wow, Fuckwad, you are a crazy person.

Here's what really happened with immigration.

Ronald Reagan signed a sensible immigration reform package in the 1980's that allowed immigrants to get amensty if they lived clean lives here.

Then Clinton signed NAFTA, which destroyed the Mexican farm economy, and all those Mexican farm workers came here looking for work.

This was actually fine, because Americans don't want to do those jobs.

That's how Joey Capone and the Biden Crime Family operated.

They've been saying the same thing about their crop picking slaves for the past 50 years. Why not make our underachieving HS grads do that work. MAGA

So let me guess how this will work.

You'll round up thousands of kids who are "underachieving", whatever that means, and then send them out to rural areas to pick crops.

This is a plan to you?
