“The U.S. dairy industry absolutely cannot survive without this,” said Dale, a dairy farmer who has moved toward robotic milking to avoid the labor problem.
Funny, the dairy industry survived just fine without Illegals fro quite a long time.
But now we are supposed to believe something magically changed?
Come to Texas. You can have all you can load up and haul off.
This is why the policy of arresting illegals, who have nothing to lose and will just come back, is so stupid.
Jail the EMPLOYERS, who are easy to find and have something to lose, and they will soon STOP hiring illegals, and the illegals will stop coming here.
Milk is too expensive, we need them to work cheap to lower the cost.
stop food stamps and welfare he will have plenty of hungry people begging to work...either that or pay a real supply/demand wage.
no free lunch
I worked on a dairy farm. Mostly field work but did often help with feeding calves and other stuff.
Exactly.

?Qual es su nombre Mexicano?
Total BS!
These are jobs that kids used to do. They would earn some money and the dairy farmer would get the cheaper labor. Child labor laws are what they need to push be reformed, not the immigration laws.
I would rather pay a little higher food bill or buy less milk and cheese than allow farmers to flout the law and cry that they can't survive without illegals. Even if amnesty is granted, what then? All of these newly legal workers will be able to work above the table and be able to get jobs that aren't so dirty and manual and he'll have to pay more... unless the borders remain open and he'll be able to get a new batch of illegals. Most employers don't want real amnesty. They want illegals to remain illegal with just enough enforcement against the workers to keep then scared and willing to work crap jobs, but absolutely no enforcement against the employers.
Mike can move back to the British Isles if he doesn’t give a crap about Americans.
BTW Mike, who says you “own” that land - the Americans or the Mexicans?
You can always move to Oaxaca. Better weather there then upstate Noo Yawk, right?
Except the locals won’t say you own the property.
In the meantime Mike, how ‘bout you tell yer state government that all those deadbeats on welfare in the City need to come out where you are and work for you?
Last I heard the number was in the millions. Should be able to find one or two guys willing to help out.
Maybe he could as Our Glorious Leader to ship some to New York.
“It’s hard, no doubt about it. But it’s an honest job, and a lot better than starving.”
STARVING?? Hardly with all the freebies FedGov hands out. Precisely therein lies the problem. If people really had the wolf at the door, they’d grab these jobs.
But now we are supposed to believe something magically changed?”
Actually several things did change. The population increased as have the markets. When my generation was growing up we didn’t have yogurt, particularly 500 flavors of it. Farmers also had large families. TV, advertising and the internet were introduced. Would appear that no one gave much thought to the issue of what it would take to meet the demands for new products.
A solution would be to ship people from large cities that currently receive unemployment off to areas that need employees. Lots of young bucks that could fill these jobs. Either work for a living or starve!
