President Donald Trumpās anti-immigrant comments and policies are beginning to hit farmers and ranchers hard, if one California farmer is any indication.
During a special on CNN, a reporter spoke with Joel del Boscaya, the son of Mexican migrants. He explained he couldnāt get any workers this year. The problem got even worse after the election when the talk of mass deportations began.
āThat makes me nervous,ā Boscaya said of Trumpās threats. āPutting a wall on the border, that makes me nervous.ā
He went on to say that it affects his bottom line, ābecause we can grow the crops but not pick them.ā
Watch the short interview with him [at the link].
I wonder if he voted for drump.
This is exactly what the RWNJs want - to put small family farms out of business. This guy is in California AND he comes from Mexican parents so they really want him to fail.
Will they still feel this way when they see the food they want is scarce and expensive?
Then they'll just find a new lie - its Obama's fault.
You fools need to be careful what you wish for. If you doubt that, look at what happened in Alabama.
