Yep, Trump is now Pro Slave Labor.
Pres. RINO, unfortunately.
Bannon completely ignored the amnesty yesterday morning. Charlie Kirk was on fire about it. Then yesterday afternoon Bannon was against “mass amnesty”.
Today, Bannon’s back to claiming there are only 10 million illegals (though really there are at least 5x as much) and supporting our lying ag hag’s claims that Congress is working to “fix” immigration but that we’re just being “strategic”, no “amnesty”.
America’s alternative Pravda continues its messaging.
However, the cold hard truth is that our country is absolutely dependent upon illegal aliens for farm/ranch labor specifically.
If 100% of the illegal aliens were removed from the 'hospitality' industry in the near future (and they should be), sure...many hotel bed sheets won't get changed on time. People don't start dying in large numbers from lack of toilet cleanings in hotels. That doesn't create an actual nationwide existential crisis.
If 100% of the illegal aliens were removed from the landscaping/lawn care business in the near future (and they should be), sure...many lawns would go without mowing for some period of time. People don't start dying in large numbers from lack of lawncare. That doesn't create an actual nationwide existential crisis.
If 100% of illegal aliens were removed from the construction industry in the near future (and they should be), sure...many home construction (or repair) projects would come to a halt for some time. People don't start dying because they can't buy a new home. That doesn't create an actual nationwide existential crisis.
However...
If 100% of illegal aliens who work in the farm/ranch labor business were removed in the near future (and ideally on rule of law & sovereignty issues only, they should be), that WOULD create an actual nationwide existential crisis. The food supply in this country would collapse. There would be a massive void of ultimately getting the vast majority of this nation's food from the land to the table.
The honest truth is that there are simply not enough American Citizens, or legal residents, who are willing to immediately (& it would have to be immediately because food is perishable) step in and go out in the fields, orchards or slaughterhouses to do that work.
Some will say, just make it a work requirement for those on welfare. I'd say to that, look at how difficult it was to get just an 80-hour work, or school requirement per month!
You would need to get this Congress to mandate 160+ hours per month of specifically field, farm or slaughterhouse work.
Who do you single out to do that kind of work requirement, instead of some other kind of work of their choosing? How do you enforce that? Would that even be Constitutional?
Sure, Sally over there can choose to go to school for 80 hours a month in order to qualify for welfare, but you Dan, you must go out into the fields and pick food for 160+ hours a month in order to qualify for welfare.
This specific industry is going to have to take a different approach to solve and it will take time, even years to fix.
Automation and robots will eventually replace much, if not almost all of that human labor...but that is many, many years away.
There's e-Verify system, but there is basically no enforcement or consequences behind it.
It's going to have to be some kind of 'guest worker' program...that is actually enforced. And that is going to take time and political will to put actual enforcement practices and policies in place.
It's a massive mess this country has gotten itself into. And while it's true that many/most illegal aliens can and should be deported yesterday, the 'food' industry presents a unique and dangerous challenge to correct and make right.
A nationwide shortage of clean hotel bedsheets is a 1st world irritation, but a nationwide shortage of food is an entirely different situation.
