Maybe it will be things like this will start the ball rolling towards the allowing dumber half of America finally see what they stood behind.
So many people are going to suffer for their decision. And while I am generally not the type to wish ill on others, I’m glad that they’re all going to be suffering right along with us. It’s good to know those that caused the oncoming disaster won’t be spared the consequences of their action.
Serves them right.
60% of you Bakersfield fucks voted for this.
May your town go bankrupt.
The results of these actions will affect us far more than those immigrants.
In California’s Central Valley, a key food-producing region, undocumented farm workers—over half the workforce—are staying home out of fear, leaving crops like citrus unharvested.
This issue is annoying because everyone is doing everything wrong. The workers shouldn't be here illegally. The government shouldn't be disrupting the food supply and should maybe loosen up legal migrant worker processes. And the farms shouldn't be hiring them either.
There's not really anyone to root for.
Illegal immigration is principally a clerical issue. A problem of documents. If you give them documents, then they're not illegal immigrants anymore. They're already doing the labor. They should be given legal recognition and protection.
I mean, we can surely root for the workers, no?
To be fair, this only affects people who eat.
/s
Thank you for genuinely making me laugh amidst this horror show.
i mean... trump sucks...
but if an entire industry relies on exploiting undocumented workers, then i'm not sure trump is the only bad guy here
He could offer these immigrants some sort of work for citizenship plan or start treating them like fellow humans.
I mean, I agree megacorps making bank off the back of undocumented workers is horrible, but one way to solve that is to grant them citizenship, let them vote and form unions.
Wouldn't have to be citizenship either, just anything acknowledging them as humans whom are there to work. But Trump doesn't dö smart
That's probably the only good thing about Trump. Trump is so brazen with fucking around that the rest of America gets to experience the finding out part. Trump is fucking with illegal immigration and America is about to find out how much they depend on illegal immigrants (because I doubt it's only this one industry).
The industry only relies on cheap labour because farmers aren't getting their fair share of the upstream profits.
Capitalism
Absolutely.
Framing this whole thing as if we would be rallying behind the mega corps who run on (what should be completely illegal) exploitation is a bit weird.
At the same time, let those who immigrated here enjoy the benefits of being a human in America. Our President of the United States of America needs to stop demonizing brown people. Help them instead.
Be a real shame if you had to import all that food from Canada...
lol... all our food is imported from the US and mexico (except a few seasonal fruits and potatoes in the summer)
Can we stop blaming Trump for companies hiring undocumented workers so they can pay them less? I hate the guy but he didn’t cause this. We can’t allow companies to bypass laws by not paying benefits and taxes to employees.
