GOP Representative John Duarte, who just lost his seat in the elections, explicitly tells Reuters that farming interests in his California district depend on undocumented immigrants—and that Trump should exempt many from removal. https://newrepublic.com/article/189054/trump-immigration-threats-republican-resistance

Now who’s going to explain tariffs to him.
This guy is lazy on a good day.
You ever get the feeling they just wish they had slaves again?
Or hear that voice.
In my not so humble opinion, lawmakers who tuck their genitals away while in office, don’t deserve to hold any office.
Are these people fucking serious?
That's the moment we're back to being a country of plantation slave labor, regardless of how it's spun.
They gotta live with the consequences of their actions now.
You supported #trump, despite representing a district that would be HEAVILY impacted by his biggest stated policy
Now you and the people of your district have to live with the repurcussions. That's on you.
Even though most of the criminals were in the US before Biden took office
Paid exemptions, or, better, lease of people from illegal's detention camps.
All at no cost to taxpayers.
That someone that WAS president and that’s going to be president again doesn’t know THIS is insanity. Top it off that “some” Americans don’t is even stranger. Immigrants keep prices DOWN just like China imports do.

Too dumb to actually comprehend the effects, and wouldn't care even if he could
Plus his supporters—farmers included—are looking for mass deportations. Emphasis on *mass*
Very on-brand if so.
Shame that nobody in the media covered how the massive deportation would lead to a massive labor crunch, higher costs for food, etc.
No, it was all about those criminals and terrorists trying to sneak in.
🙄
And the food industry isn’t the only one that would be impacted.
They must all feel the same pain we will!
By selectively & eratically applying the rules.
Fear rulez.
The exceptions, nurtured by corruption, Grovelers & Cravers, are the main rule(rs tool).
Elections have consequences
Autocracy has “favorites” and that isn’t YOU.
Well, that's because too many people around him said no and the guardrails held. Fewer guardrails this time
I've become the manifestation of I'll-believe-it-when-I-see-it-with-my-own-two-eyes (because MSM lies like TFG)
Well, Duarte, you lost, and CA will be a sanctuary state.
Slaughterhouses, Construction, Agriculture.
No way exploited workers get deported. Follow the $.
