The farmers can hire the fired federal workers.

To: Tell It Right

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.

Imagine Oliver Douglas with a farm crew of those types.

Hiring a terminated Federal worker would have the same impact on the farm as firing three good farm hands....

Yes.
As a matter of fact, there exist machines which can replace most of this manual work.
But, they are expensive! Illegals are cheaper.
Time for the farmers to make investments!
