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.
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.
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.
Inner-city folks aren’t willing to work? I think 2 Thessalonians 3:10 addresses that situation.
The problem is a welfare system that does not reward work for citizens and allows people that are not citizens to scam the system. A guest worker program could work but can’t do it if it is better for our citizens to sit at home and collect so we don’t have enough workers. That would be for workers only and not entire families and children born to workers should not be granted birthright citizenship.
Completely ignoring the law now is definitely not working but I do think we will need some foreign unskilled labor but on a limited basis and not at the taxpayer expense.
Don’t we have enough prisoners who could do this ?
Farm worker visas are common in all countries. So long as you vet the folks and make sure they leave, it works.
NOOOOOOoooo! “but it would fall short of replacing the estimated 320,000 undocumented farm workers already in the U.S” who said? Where are those numbers from and how can anyone say they can’t be replaced within the H2A program? B.S.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
We have had temporary farm worker visas as long as I remember. When I was in college at Fresno there were busloads of foreign farm workers going up and down the I5 corridor following the season. Then, winter time, they all went home.
I agree with this. Guest workers.
Not again...
He had better not!
