I remember in 7th or 8th grade writing a paper on why immigration was an overall good. The fact a literal child can get a B on a paper about why immigration is good with sources and everything but probably not a poltician is baffling
I live in the Coachella Valley in SoCal. AKA Palm Springs for the white folks.
We have a bunch of corporate farms here.
Bet your butt those artichokes or bell peppers will go from pennies to dollars.
Trump promises that he will lower food prices, it's one of the central policies that he ran on, but every executive order he has signed so far seems to be heading us towards increased prices for everything.
My conspiracy theory is that once all the shock and awe is over these companies with trumps blessing begin the secret flights BACK to the farms and plants full of migrants. Then as they now get treated WORSE b/c they get even less protect. they can squeeze an extra dime out for each pint. Trump wins
Not just them but the restaurant servers, cooks, hotel housekeeping, carpenters etc. There are millions of immigrants doing all these jobs that the white entitled brats won't do.
That also drives prices up. Not just crop pickers and truck loaders of processed food! There are drivers, dock workers…etc. They work in all areas of businesses! They work their way up the ladder by improving and learning. They are the hard workers. They show up the lazy and weak.
If you don’t like prices of houses wait till new houses are more expensive due to increased lumber costs from tariffs. And the people building your house are being deported.
They already are. I have seen on Youtube, food producers who supported Trump saying they never thought their workers would be taken away. They are whining that was not on the table when supporting Trump. It was other immigrants, not theirs that should go. Prices are going up, thanks to Magats
I read recently that it's estimated around 50% of the construction labor in Texas if undocumented. So, yeah, that's not going to help any housing shortages either.
They are on Twitter a big Maga dude is freaking out because his wife lost her dream job at a VA hospital because of trumps eo hiring freeze. He thinks they should be exempt because they are special. (White)
I saw that. He said they were both big Trump supporters.. Dude didn't understand her only used them as a Get out of jail FREE card. He doesn't need them anymore. They are out of luck
He MAGA, better start thinking now of the ways you're going to blame the Democrats or anyone else except your hero, the Orange Tyrant. Eggs and most other thing you put on your dinner table will start skyrocketing in price because there is going to be no one to process those food products.
These are the “criminals” that he so “despises”!!!???
The folks who put food on our table and contribute millions of dollars to Social Security and IRS that they will never ever be able to reclaim or benefit from it, these are his criminals!!!???
I am uncomfortable with the characterization of our new friends as our laborers. It feels demeaning. As though all of them pick beans and are Latino. Seems ugly. Many are educated. Many are from Europe, Asia and Africa.
Trump has declared war on the middle class. The effects of his policy and programs will be destructive as he starts his fascist agenda. Food medical and inflation will affect all of us.
But MAGAts can always apply for those jobs now to help cut down on food prices. They can work for the same low low pay as migrant farm workers have to help out "merica". I somehow doubt that happening however.
Think of all the jobs minimum wage immigrants perform. Not only farm workers. Companies large and small have been given the right by Reagan to legally hire illegal immigrants. This is only the beginning. Trump has opened Pandora’s box.
They are already disappearing so they don't get arrested. Fruit and vegetables aren't getting harvested. Assume the same thing is happening in dairy, poultry (eggs), and meat processing.
I am a farmworker over twenty years of farm work only about 15 out of 200 + co workers have been non Latino only 3 lasted the season and 1 came back the next year
I think Trump is way overplaying his hand. While Trump voters did want mass deportation, a clear majority of Republican voters opposed separating families, deporting legal immigrants, using the military to enforce the border, etc. He is going to lose MAGA.
MAGA are Nazi's that want a genocidal race and religious war to seize the property of the people they hate. Trump and his MAGA wants things so bad that a national emergency is declared so the military is used to crush all opposition.
I canvassed. Trump voters wanted mass deportation and thought they could raise their own Vegetables in Reno nevada with postage sized lot . Never doubt how mean and stupid a Trump voter Is
I’ve lived in the Deep South most of my life so I know how they roll. Like any group you have your extremes and a bunch of people in the middle who are movable to varying degrees—esp when it starts to hit their wallets.
I’m originally from the east Tennessee. Evangelical religión set them up for an authoritarian leader to follow on faith. A religión that condemns ppl to an eternity in hell only because they don’t believe in the way they do.
I had to leave Facebook as a lot of my OLD friends are in the part of Kansas that are spoon fed FOX news and Newsmax. There is no trying to change them at all. I’m 70, and anymore I’m tired of the stupidity that has overcome our beautiful country.

MAGA are hard working Americans. I am sure that they will be willing to go pick the crops. And they will be willing to do this unskilled labor for minimum wage, too.
They are going to say it is because of biden's policies, and that 47 is trying to fix them. I literally just had this conversation with one of my coworkers. They are convinced 47 little save America and the prices.
Jon, I sure hope you’re able to help the Dems make sure Trump isn’t able to limit this pain, and subsequent blame to blue cities and states. I can see mass deportations in NY, Chicago and LA being shown on Fox in a loop 24/7 to convince the proles that it’s happening across the country.
There's been a marked change in produce quality since Trump's first term. I think it's time to plant a garden, visit local farmer's markets and learn to freeze and can like our grandparents did.
Very true, we rely on these hopeful people that are just looking for a better life. And most come from countries that the 🇺🇸 destabilized during our ill thought out war on drugs.
They’re already not showing up to work out of fear of deportation. Food is already not being harvested where I live. And guess what? Nobody is applying for the jobs.
Well, you know he’s going to leave the farmers in red states alone because I’m sure he is getting money under the table. 40% of immigrants are illegal in farming. So you would think that would be the first place he would go, but not the case.
Oh I absolutely can’t wait until my smug neighbors start complaining about food prices. I’m going to wear my “You Voted For This” t-shirt under my hoodie at all times and unzip whenever someone who has F’ed Around suddenly Finds Out.
They'll DEFINITELY blame Dems. In UK, the Remain voters were blamed for Brexit's failure. Now, 5 yrs on, Tories admit they never had a post-referendum Brexit plan!
WE'RE LED BY DONKEYS!
The UK, which is the land of my family has gone the wrong way. To think that someone who makes 50,000 pounds a year gets taxed the same as a millionaire is doing nothing to help the UK prosper. The exact opposite. My numbers may be slight off, but you probably know what I am talking about.
They won't be able to afford them anyway when they are paying for their own medical bills with no social security income. Maybe then it will dawn on them. Doubt it though. They are a ride or die type.
He wants all the lower and middle class to do those jobs specifically black people because those are black jobs. That might be their plan to wreck the economy and give police full immunity to throw minorities in jail for slave labor. This his definition of make America great again.
MEGA pay higher gas cost to go to the store ,enter store runs to egg cooler and other groceries just find higher prices. Goes to pharmacy counter to pick up needed medicine to find out his prescription has shot through the roof. Now has to make a decision what he can buy and what he can’t buy.
Also, good luck ever stepping into a clean grocery store, mall, office, hospital, office complex or other large publicly accessed building ever again. Deporting the people who are willing to do those kinds of cleaning jobs is not going to benefit ANYBODY.
Whatever bad consequences will come from Trumps rampant demolishing of everything even remotely social or humane that directly on indirectly affect the MAGA cult followers will invariably be blamed on somebody else.
And they will buy it.
It's reported that half of the field workers in Florida are illegal immigrants. Florida produces most of the winter fruits and vegetables. If they think groceries are high now wait until those crops sit and rot in the field.
Everyone that voted trump can literally go fuck themselves, if you did your either dumb beyond belief or just evil voting for mass deportations, so don't come back crying when you realise no one gives a fuck about you....we don't you scruffy dirty cunt fucks....
And they’ll say it’s a racist take to say the people being deported are farm workers, etc. It’s not racist. He’s not deporting engineers and doctors (yet). He’s going after people on the margins. And we’re “racist” for calling it out.
He THINKS he'll make them SLAVES. With fantasties of citizenship if they work the fields for pennies. Just like Mexican soldiers who fought for the USA only to be deported because America reneged on the deal! I hope every single MAGA starves!

As noted in an article today that I can't seem to find, the 55,000 or so day laborers in CA's Central Valley – the nation's fruit & veg breadbasket – are refusing to show up for work bc of deportation fears.
Riiiiggghhhhttttt, but knowing these MAGA RETARDS they will blame Biden and the Democrats because, well shit cause they have nothing else in their hateful little hearts
Should we also talk about the MAGA congressmen who are taking money from lobbyists to enrich themselves from corporate prisons where immigrants will be held? They then invest the money in stocks of those prisons, a real double dip.
Is it too early to start organizing a new "Farm Aid"? Farmers aren't going to be able to harvest, and a lot of them are going to lose everything. We've been here before...
Advocates for immigrants working at an orange grove in CA said 90% of the field workers didn’t show today. It’ll be this repeated over and over across all fields of work they do. Onc restaurants, hotels, night crews in hospitals, road crews, etc
My prediction is that Trump will not go to the southern states to remove their field workers. He will instead go to Chicago and other "sanctuary cities" to get the fight he wants. Maga won't care as long as only the libs are owned.
At every stage of our supply chain are regular working people who show up every single day and do their jobs.
Sitting at home wasting the day away are all the whining Americans who would never stoop so low as to work in a field, on a roof, or under the sink, or pruning the trees.
Not paying attention to how they will now have kids as indentured servants and use the Prison Industrial Complex and the Juvenile System as new bodies with no payments nor way to escape. Looking at the meat processing plants filled with undocumented stolen kids from his last bite of destruction.
I bet when prices rise and ag lobbyists show Trump pictures of food rotting in the fields, ill Dumpy will order the migrants trucked from the concentration camps back to work. Then there will be months of debate about whether or not the government should pay them prison-labor rates.
Given the Tariff War that Trump is pushing, would he not be in breach of the UMSCA agreement? If possible, I think Canada should import more produce from Mexico until Trump deals with the disaster he created.
I’m ready with the “I fucking told you so” to all my family members. I’m so annoyed with everyone who told me I was being “too political” or “over sensitive” it’s all coming true!
Most people that I've (unfortunately) spoken with have said they don't care if grocery prices rise because the tariffs will bring the price of everything else down. This part of the conversation typically happens after they try to convince me of how intelligent they are.
Stay woke wokie. They entered illegally so you guys can pay them Pennie’s on the dollar. And if the super rich benefit from anything. Then the left benefits also. You forget the super rich are liberals.

But yes- there are many many many other jobs in the supply chain that could be impacted by this!
13th amendment allows duly convicted to be forced into involuntary servitude/slavery.
I expect the immigrants will be jailed, enslaved, and continue to be forced to work the same job but for free.
And they will buy it.

Produce prices won't remain low for very long.
Yet another self-inflicted wound.
Sitting at home wasting the day away are all the whining Americans who would never stoop so low as to work in a field, on a roof, or under the sink, or pruning the trees.
This will hurt.
They'll blame the libs, jews, immigrants and more for their higher food prices, but never Trump.and never themselves.
How long will it take for them to figure out they got played? What excuses will they make?
It’s going to be pathetic how they will double down for him.
In WWII Germany, it’s strongly insinuated the German people knew what was going on.

Democrats would like to see them get paid more and have benefits.
Stay sleepy wardo.
They want all the money and all the power.
Leaving nothing for anyone else.
And, are now in control of the government.
Good job.
Back to sleep, wardo.
