Have you actually seen the work these people do?

I lived in a small farming town where the population more than doubled at watermelon harvest time. It's brutal.

In a conversation with 2 farmers:
Farmer 1:"Do you think these hands smoke marijuana?"
Farmer 2: "Gawd,I hope so."

My point is we don't really know unless it's tried. Farmers are not recruiters and the workers have been coming to them.

I just wonder what would happen if recruiters organized buses from the American places to the farms. What if the housing was clean and decent? What if the workers got paid American wages?

Nobody will try that so we don't know.

Hey Sancho us white boys are hard workers too it’s just we have enough self respect to not work for a pittance.

Central - we don’t know if Sancho isn’t a “white boy” too.

It’s not only “the pittance” - the work is back-breakingly hard.

If the farmers are told - no more illegals. And let’s assume this is policed hard.

And people are told - no welfare, go to work at the farms.

You then have:
1. A big bunch of out of shape people who have to go to the farms
2. a sense of entitlement

So farmers will need to police the people more and spend more time and money on that policing. At the same time the people will get tired quickly and faint (think of all the fatties)

This is going to balloon up the costs.

Plus do the farmers have to pay if people get injured?

It’s all doable, but will people do it? And will the cost of your food double or triple?
