U.S. — With heated debate taking place across the country over President Donald Trump's initiative to carry out mass deportations of illegal aliens, Democrats found themselves once again concerned about who would be picking their crops.
Just as they did back in the 1860s, Democrats voiced opposition to any policy changes that would cause them to lose an overwhelming percentage of the staff they keep around to pick all of the produce in their fields.
"We already had to deal with this problem once, let's not do it again," said Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi. "Look, we all need brown people out in the fields picking crops. It's not easy to find people willing to do that job, so once you have them, you definitely want to keep them there by any means necessary. Chains, even. We used to do that. Then, those awful Republicans had to go and screw everything up. Now, they're trying to do it again."
Democrats feared yet another major setback in fully staffing their estates with crop pickers. "Our country simply can't function if we don't have someone to pick crops for us," Senator Chuck Schumer said. "Let's face it, cotton doesn't pick itself. There must be some solution to this problem that doesn't once again deprive us of our essential household staff. The next thing you know, Trump will be telling us we're not allowed to ‘own people' anymore. What type of a world would that be?"
At publishing time, Democrats had asked President Trump if they would be allowed to just ship illegal aliens back to the U.S. and purchase them at auction like in the old days.
Sounds like this is about the strawberries.
Yeah must really piss them off that Republicans are liberating their slaves again.
The Babylon Bee hits another one out of the park.
If you’ve missed it, watch their YouTube series “Californians Move to Texas.” There are six episodes. It’s brilliant.
And they proved it with geometric logic.
They’re more concerned about a reliable stream of children to molest
This one was in today’s email newsletter. Almost every story today was hilarious, even better than usual.
The Bee hits another home run. Except this headline is more true to life than satire.
Some things never change.
The Dems could use some exercise.
make the welfare RAts earn their keep...
and here I thought the bee only did parody.
Hey, they can learn to clean their own houses and buy and cook their own food, just like the rest of us hoi polloi.
Sounds racist to me. Need cheap slaves. Cesar Chavez would be helping Holman deport.
Oh, it says CROPS, not CRABS - read it too fast.
Who will pick the cotton?
Next Trump can stop welfare as plenty of jobs out there for the picking (pun intended)
FPOA (Future Pickers of America) High school students.easy money in the spring/summer....welfare recipients who cannot get a job(or who don’t want one)....ex-DOJ employees...
Reduce the welfare then watch “The Grapes Of Wrath”.
