They would still be alive if they had stayed in their own countries.
MSM is in full cover-up mode on this one.
And had they stayed home the crops would have rotted in the field.
We don’t know whether they were illegals…and they’re at least working to provide for their families….have some compassion.
The watermelons would rot for sure.
We have always relied on (legitimate) migrant laborers in our fields. You’re thinking of illegal immigrants, which the government now calls “migrants” (they’re not) in an attempt to cover up and confuse the American people.
We could have had a better legal migrant laborer plan, but the labor unions opposed it. Not that any of them work in the fields…but the AFL CIO and even the UAW fought against expanding the program, thus virtually forcing farmers to hire illegals.
Florida has very strict requirements in vetting the status of employees, however, so these unfortunate souls were probably legal (and in fact some may actually have been Americans hired through day labor companies.).
But the true migrant laborers are hardworking, and they go back to their home countries when their contract is up and return again next year.
