Farm workers make
$19/h+ in California. Still very underpaid for that kind of work. A lot of them have temporary work visas so they come and go back home depending on season. Unrelated, but coming here illegally is an infraction, not a felony as righties would like you to believe.
They won't. They will let it all rot in the fields and blame other people, instead of blaming Trump and everyone who voted for him and all of their hate. They should be forced to eat the rotten food in the fields. Learn what it's like to fucking starve to death because of their stupidity.
And clean, cook, wash dishes, gardening, build our homes, cities and everything else that they do while paying their taxes so that Medicare, Medicaid as well as social security recipients who rely on them to make our economy grow, greater and solvent.

Itβs time for all of us to hit the red states hard financially with motorist , no online purchases, etc. They think nothing of doing that & more to states they hate so itβs time to get a backbone blues & independents. Looooong overdue. We tend to talk things to deathβ¦. time for actions.
NOW theyβll have to cut their own lawns buy their own groceries clean their own houses care for their own children and oh my what about granny pops and the petsπ²π«’ππRude awakening hatersπ€―π
The days are coming where they start rounding up the unemployed at gunpoint and take them to farms to work in the interest of "national security". People on disability not exempt.
See there is justice 4 deplorables. Don't forget $5 an hour and 14 hours a day and 7 days a week. Wouldn't U love 2 C Donald Trump's fat ass picking vegetables. It wld B the first honest days work 4 his fat butt. His lazy good 4 nothing boys could help as well. Ivanka & Tiffany 2 prepare grub.
Donald Trump has officially declared through an executive order that everyone on Earth is transgender. He signed an executive order stating that sex is determined at conception. HOWEVER, every person on Earth develops sex at about one month AFTER conception. We ALL change gender at one month.
I also notice, no business owners are being arrested for employing undocumented workers. Employing the workers is a felony on the books. Them being here with no documentation is civil. Nothing like adding some classism in with the racism.
I wish I was somewhere I could get a job picking. I would collapse cause I don't eat enough but at least I would feel like I was doing something about the oncomming famine.
No kidding. This will be the biggest root cause weβre going to have. Unemployment is already low. The only Americans filling these jobs will be the ones getting fired due to the bad economy thatβs on the way.
Well, um....I worked those fields as a kid, and I can tell you that most Americans (white or other) didn't last but a couple of hours. It was mostly undocumented migrants. I remember a Black man, though, who was like the fastest worker there. Extremely nice fellow and got along with everyone.
I think so as well. How else can corporations manage NOT to pay decent wages other than child labor or forced labor from prisons for profit? (A very bad idea trying to put people of color back into the fields! Right up there with the Mark of 666)
What about those of us microscopic blue dots who tried their hardest to convince family/friends to vote Harris/Walz? Please remember "majority" does not equal "unanimous"...
Hey Nancy Mace, who is going to harvest all the peaches and cotton in SC? I hope to see you out there doing the work as you campaign for governor. π π π
Kind of. If you are put in Prison, you are basically Slave labor.
My conspiracy theory is that things are going to get so dire that the US Gov is going to create "work camps," promoting them as places to work, live, and not be homeless for the extremely poor, homeless, and uneducated.
I would like to see the demographics of the farm laborers that are hired. Call me cynical, but I would guess people of color, those with "invisible" disabilities, those that are just about old to work, retirees, prison inmates.
Of course, this side-steps the fact that we have been fine living in a society that exploits the labor of immigrant farm workers and only pays them $5/hr with no benefits or labor protections.
When I worked the fields, I was a kid and only got 3.35 an hour. My crew boss was a Tejana! She swore I learned Spanish out there in those fields with them! But I already spoke Spanish since long before.
1. Deport 'illegals' so locals get mad about pricing.
2. GOP's "Hey! we *JUST* came up w/this!" (Proj 2025) fix will be Prison industrial complex.
3. MUCH less pushback to corrupt policing of poor/black/brown people b/c "We want cheap food more than justice".
No, we have H2 A visas for agricultural workers which pays them more than the illegal aliens and there are plenty around the world buying for that visa so keep your fruit
California provides produce all over the US including red States. If the Mexican workers in California are rounded up and shipped back to Mexico you will starve.
Yup. Grew up in LA now live in Kansas. I work in the roofing industry. Never ever do you see white guys on roofs. They are all from somewhere else. Iβm of Mexican background and without immigrants, we have nothing. βπ»
When you look at all the roofs being worked here in IL, it's the same, rarely ever a white guy, mostly Mexicans. I appreciate roofers no matter what their background is, that is tough work!
Exactly. Especially in really cold or really hot areas. I never see βwhite guysβ applying for those jobs and if they do, they literally want $40Hr and only want to work a 6hr day.
This aspect of liberalism has always bothered me. Do we support immigration because it drives down wages which allows for cheaper food? Thatβs the reality, right? Iβm pro-immigration because I believe in our shared humanity and the importance of helping people escape difficult situations- Not the $.
If you ever want to convince a conservative of anything then talk about what it will cost them. If you try to talk to them about the humanity of the situation then they will just laugh because they have no humanity. You have to learn to talk to people in the language they will listen to.
I get what youβre saying but thatβs been the message forever and itβs not working - obviously. I just think the conversation is more than the obvious and popular talking points.
I wish you luck. In my experience with conservatives, they don't want it to work. Or they want it to work their way and only their way with zero compromise. Now they are a religious cult, so their way is whatever trump tells them Jesus says is their way and can change from day to day.
100% agree. Universal healthcare would benefit everyone-but letβs emphasize that it would be cheaper and with better outcomes. Not that poor people would have access to doctors. They donβt care about that.
You're painting conservatism with a broad brush. I'm sure there are conservatives who care only about the bottom line, but there are also conservatives who care that migrants are being exploited for cheap labor.
I have never heard a conservative say a word of concern about migrants being exploited. The people they elect are elected because they said they would get rid of migrants. If there are conservatives who care about people I've never met one.
I meeeeeean, the meme is using an underclass, and threatening the class right above them with becoming the new underclass, seems like pitting poor people against each other, seems like a dynamic that Trump just plays the other side of
Absolutely Excellent news! I'm so happy all these positions will now drop our unemployment down to zero because all of the eligible workers will get to fill these vacated positions ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»
We're all crickets on the same rope anyway.
I live in Fulton County Georgia...imagine how I feel after that notorious phone call by trump to"find" votes?
ALL CHARGES THROWN OUT NOW!
And someone in a very Red state screamed that he "took away" her SNAP, and what's she "gonna' do, NOW!" (My deepest sympathies, darlin', but y'all voted for the prick.)
Lots of them canβt even have a a proper bath, I canβt see them doing hard labour. huckabee sanders said 230k of them have to go back to work and no more SS π€£
Dear Red States, You can pick your nose and you can pick your friends and now you can pick your own veggies. Winner winner chicken dinner. Oh sorry... no chicken... bird flu... CDC didn't call you? Bummer

That poster should show US citizens of color. Because they will be picking the fruits and crops soon.
By decree of the US felons of color.
The bus under which he's going to throw all the colored bootlickers under is already waiting at the depot, with idling engine.
And, to be frank - I wish that we have Humanity Month. 12 times a year.
My conspiracy theory is that things are going to get so dire that the US Gov is going to create "work camps," promoting them as places to work, live, and not be homeless for the extremely poor, homeless, and uneducated.
Or am I being overly bleak?
It was called the "A-Team." It did not end well.

WTF !!
So not only will more people have to pick their own, they still will need to pay the farmers for their harvest. No $5/hr for you!
