Former Rep. Beto O'Rourke, D-Texas, profanely attacked President Trump's latest immigration order on social media Tuesday, rhetorically asking who the "f--k" Trump thinks is working on farms, processing plants, and other facilities.
"Who the f--k do you think is working on the farms and feed lots, in the packing houses and processing plants at a time where we are struggling to feed ourselves?" O'Rourke asked on Twitter. "Who is in the kitchen? Who is picking, preparing, serving the food we eat and cleaning up afterwards?" The president announced late Monday he would sign an executive order to temporarily shut down immigration during the coronavirus pandemic, citing the need to protect Americans and their jobs. O'Rourke called the order "an attempt to distract us from his total mismanagement (43,000 of our fellow Americans have died so far - 20,000 more than next closest country AND we’ve tested little more than 1 [percent] of U.S.). But will still have terrible consequences for America. We should take it seriously." The former 2020 presidential candidate added that immigrants were many of the people "saving this country" while Trump "bungled" the government's response to the crisis.
"And what about the scientists and doctors who will come up with the cures and vaccines?" O'Rourke added on Tuesday. "You better believe many of them will be immigrants." Much of the immigration system has already ground to a halt because of the pandemic. Almost all visa processing by the State Department has been suspended for weeks. Travel to the U.S. has been restricted from much of the globe, including China, Europe, Mexico and Canada. Criticism of Trump’s new announcement was swift. Ali Noorani, president of the National Immigration Forum, noted that thousands of foreign-born health care workers are currently treating people with COVID-19 and working in critical sectors of the economy.

Umm John Deere and McCormick machinery?
20,000,000 unemployed and Beto wants to import workers? to the point that he’s profane about it?
So glad he didn’t become the nominee.
Theres already plenty of illegals here to work the harvests and roof the houses. Not to mention that they usually have about 12 kids apiece, who will be the next generation of workers.
How did America manage to feed itself pre 1980s?
Tell me that is not an insensitive racist remark.
Beto is what I call, using formal terms, a penis cranium.
Nobody!, you a-hole! Haven't you been watching the news?
Time for farmers to automate. Sorry but most other countrys have better ways of harvesting that don’t require destroying our country so they can save a buck.
Beto attacks Emancipation Proclamation: ‘Who the f—k do you think is working on the plantations?’
Between that gal and her offshore childcare labor and Bobby here and his need for foreign farm labor, you would think these multimillionaires would actually pay a living American wage to actualy Americans!
Or are they saying that Actual Americans dont work??
Beto, Beto, Beto... don’t you know that those people are already here?
Unlike some others I could name....
It’s weird that Americans are told they cant work because “you are going to kill grandma because you believe in profits over lives” also think that non-Americans should be able to stream into the nation to go work at agricultural sites?
Basically “brown people’s” lives are expendable?
Isn’t Beto currently unemployed?
Drama Queen!
It is appealing to know that some of my Texas friends actually supported this faker.
LOL his supporters will be denied entry.
Beto “Irish Bob” O’Rourke: I’m important. Look at me. Look at me!
The entire world: Aw, shut up.
