Makes me think we'd all better get used to growing our own produce in our backyards. Beyond the fear of deportation, we're hurting our own status so badly that pretty soon, no one will want to work our farms out of self-respect.

I have no idea how shallow Trump's view of America is, but he must think everyone will fall in line just because he's President.

I can imagine members of the military being confronted by their own families, telling them "you're either with him, or you're with us."

It could get THAT bad.

This absolutely happened as described and DeSantis should know better in FL - as would any rational R in an administration. They just don’t care whose business, community is destroyed in their quest.

Brilliant! Let's make certain there is no way to sustain our crops or harvest them. Ever seen empty shelves in the supermarket?

What happen with the immigrants in Alabama then will now happen with the whole nation---if voters allow wholesale deportation. The family farms will close. Big agriculture corporations will take over, as well as developers stealing the land.

That's a misleading characterization, the law aims to uphold immigration rules and prevent illegal residency, not deny basic services to those in need or target specific groups.
