Brilliant, you farmers just pull a million or more out of your butts for machinery.

Shows how clueless politicians are wrt to economics.

I would tell you the proper answer but don’t want him to steal it.

Even when I was a teen in Iowa, not that many young people wanted to detassle, walk beans or the like.

The guy pretty much admitted he was using illegals because no Americans wanted the job.

Cruz stated it as a way to cut the costs if he had to pay MARKET wages.

We can’t have both. Either some farmers go out of business because they can’t afford to modernize or pay market wages or we keep illegals.

The first one is capitalism.

I’ve got an idea. Kick people off of lifetime welfare. Farmers place want ads. People will take the jobs. Change laws so that kids under 18 can do farm work as they used to, that should help, too, especially as many farm jobs are in summer.

So you want illegals to do the labor for the farmers? He is trying to come up with solutions to a labor problem. What’s Trumps big idea? I know he will sue the farmers and steal their land!!
