This is how those fresh and fragrant bundled herbs like parsley get to your grocery store. Workers spend 8 hours a day on their knees harvesting this crop that is used in our #Thanksgiving stuffing. #WeFeedYou

Yes and they are called migrant workers. Fun fact there are 300K+ migrant workers ready to go on the drop of a dime. It’s sad that the UFW is pushing this lie.
Thank you for all you do so that we can have food. I am so worried about these hardworking people and pray that the new administration coming in will have mercy on them. I am scared they will not.
I propose that once they are brought back (and they will be, this work is beneath MAGGATS), pay them fairly with full benefits (to clap back at any talk of how much we True Blues crave slave labor), and THEN only have them work in and benefit blue states. The Reds clearly didn't want them.
That one in the yellow apron is insanely fast. Who does Dump think is going to do this stuff? Has anyone explained it to him based on products needed for his Big Macs?
Who? Where is this big imaginary workforce hiding out? If they’re citizens they’d just take a job somewhere else, and likely get paid way more. Which would leave us in quite a bind.
Make four hours a year of harvesting mandatory service for all Americans that are physically able to do the work. No more immigrant labor, no more harvest labor issues.
I bunched radishes & onions the same way from age 11-14. I got paid a penny per bunch, and it was hard work! I can't imagine still doing that as an adult and being on the ground hunched over, rain or shine. I have great respect for farm workers!! Thank you!!
when Canada slaps retaliatory tariffs and half your staff get deported, that should be fun time, I am sure you will be able to find MAGA people to do this back breaking hard work NOT. I have done harvesting farm work before and it is not for the faint at heart. just brutal. hats off to them

This country owes you a debt of gratitude. I’m sorry so many Americans can’t or won’t see that.
I’m grateful for you.

i don't think most people realize just how back breaking farm work is.
Wait…
What?!
Without their meth
My first job at 14 was on a farm harvesting daffodils.
Huge respect for people who do this day in day out.
Anyone who thinks these jobs are being stolen from them should try to work a 40 hour week in the fields before complaining.
Farm work is no joke!
Evil Felon Trump will DEPORT them - No more parsley . . . 👺
