The farmers can hire the fired federal workers.
Disgusting.
It’s amazing how many Americans knew how to farm before LBJ created the welfare state.
The administration MAGA pivot is worrying. I guess 47 is getting garbage advice again.
If you’re here illegally, you gotta go.
No exceptions. Because one exception will almost certainly turn into a dozen exceptions.
In the 1950s, different types of young people learned about cotton farming by hand even though there was automation. They also had plenty of energy to sing and dance after being in the field.

It has Mamie Van Doren.
I did two summer seasons of farm labor in my early teens. Detasseling corn. It was hot, laborious, and nonstop. Every day get on the bus and go to a new field, and repeat until the season is over.
It sucked overall, but those jobs were always meant for teenagers looking to make a few bucks before high school started. Now teens can’t get those jobs at all because the Mexicans take them permanently, no thanks to the cheapskate farmers.
Trump is way out of his element on this one and he’s going to screw Americans over just like every other president has.
We are no longer a nation of farmers. And LBJ had zip to do with it. The world changed...we expect our kids to go to college and or work...but not in the fields...
No. An exception becomes a loophole and a loophole becomes a trap and a trap hurts like hell.
There’s at least 45 million illegals in America. Wonder how many actually are agricultural workers.
Why bother? No one ENFORCES the laws ANYWAYS.
Imagine Oliver Douglas with a farm crew of those types.
I didn’t vote for this bait and switch stuff we have been getting.
I have no issue with expanding that legal farm labor program IF it is coupled with tighter administrative enforcement to ensure they do not overstay.
1) They need to leave. No staying here being "deemed worthy".
2) Need to put teeth into it. The farmers need to be responsible for ALL aspects of the migrant - healthcare, lodging, food, everything.
3) If the migrant leaves the farm for other purposes then the farmer needs to be financially and criminally liable.
Under these conditions it could maybe work.
And to be clear, that would require recording of biometric data for each and every worker admitted. Violating the terms of your visa even once, and you are banned permanently.
Part time farm labor is a good experience for teens, it will give them a perspective about what actual hard work is. In other words, character building.
You make it sound 3rd world.
Inner-city folks aren’t willing to work? I think 2 Thessalonians 3:10 addresses that situation.
I would accept this if your #2 was strictly adhered to. No medical and welfare given to any of them.
If that isn’t good enough, they get sent home.
