The agricultural industry is dependent on immigrant labor, much of it undocumented. These scenes will cause many to abandon the fields, allowing crops to wither on the vine unpicked.

MAGA - the jobs you claim immigrants are “stealing” are opening up - start applying.

Some might after all their welfare, food stamps, housing subs and health care get ripped away next month by Congress. But. I doubt it. MAGA doesn't eat healthy food.

Why aren’t they going after the farm owners for hiring

zachsmom32685.bsky.social•7 days ago

They want to replace these people with slave labor from prison. Or debtors with Student loan debt, seniors and children.

renewalls.bsky.social•7 days ago

They are going after innocent farm workers, not criminals, because that would be too hard.

joyseacrew.bsky.social•7 days ago

So all the MAGA cheering this on don’t like strawberries…? 🤷🏻‍♀️

wildbill49.bsky.social•7 days ago

Apparently not. Or lettuce or apples or anything else. Have you ever worked on a ranch or a farm?

joyseacrew.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yep. Picked strawberries & tomatoes in the Redlands, FL during the pandemic as needed when crops were starting to rot in the fields & people were hungry.
HOT, biting flies, pesticides, spiders, snakes. Nowhere to relieve yourself.
Not something I’d want to do for a living; respect to those who do.

wildbill49.bsky.social•7 days ago

I have worked ranches and farms. I was the exclusive White boy. All the owners would have hired white guys. But none ever applied or asked.

It’s time to get Republican congressmen off their government welfare, and make them replace the workers taken by ICE.

ICE doesn’t care they only eat Trump’s feces

cavmom.bsky.social•7 days ago

Trump wants to destroy Califirnia economy. Many farm owners voted republican. Karma is a bitch

mac1934.bsky.social•7 days ago

I do think there is more strategy here about trying to damage blue cities economically than anything else.

the-dude00.bsky.social•7 days ago

Not in the fields of red states?Hum

Disgusting: expose those heartless ICE agents. The county officials, local residents , and the farm owners (and business owners) need to together STOP this cruelty and push back against these unlawful kidnappings.

Working hard in the sun. Doing backbreaking labor. Not your typical "criminal" behavior. The crops are going to rot in the field. Hurting the famer's livelihood. Hurting the people just trying to make a living. AND HURTING YOU WHEN THERE ARE NO FRUITS OR VEGETABLES TO FEED YOUR FAMILY.

darcdn.bsky.social•6 days ago

Let them rot

riderbabe52.bsky.social•6 days ago

They're literally plowing the Tomato fields because of this shit. Let the farmers that MAGA'd this country suffer. We'll have to live without stuff for a while but I think we can manage

jaffisam.bsky.social•7 days ago

... Because strawberries and their pickers are such a national security threat?

ilovecouy26.bsky.social•7 days ago

We’ll all be eating gruel soon there will be no fruits and vegetable’s in The stores!

feistywriter2024.bsky.social•7 days ago

Terrible!!!
