Democrats Scold Americans on Thanksgiving: Thank Illegal Aliens for Picking Your Food
Breitbart ^ | 11/28/2024 | John Binder

Posted on 11/28/2024 11:06:02 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Democrats are celebrating Thanksgiving by scolding Americans, telling them they should thank illegal aliens working on United States farms for picking their food.

“Everyone at the dinner table today, especially MAGA, please give thanks to the undocumented immigrants that picked and packed the food you’re enjoying. They deserve our grace,” Julián Castro wrote on X. “Happy Thanksgiving!”

Meanwhile, Sen. Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) made a similar statement, writing:

Join me in taking a moment to appreciate the hands that harvested the food on our Thanksgiving tables this year. Our meals wouldn’t be possible without the tireless work of migrant farmworkers, farmers, and ranchers across the country. Thanksgiving doesn’t happen without them. [Emphasis added]

They should be paying for our Thanksgiving Dinner to pay us back for all our taxpayer dollars blown on them.

Here’s to newer and better machine picker/harvester technology. Tomatoes engineer to be machine harvested, same thing for other staples.

BTW, doesn’t all have to be illegals. Nothing wrong with issuing seasonal visas for that kind of work here. The intent is for them to go home when the season ends.

Yeah, thanks illegal farm workers and farmers tirelessly working on farms in New York City, Denver, Chicago and LA! And thanks for eating those pesky pets and park geese!

We have a seasonal farm worker visa. There should be no reason for illegals to be picking anything.

You leftwing freaks need to get off your asses and go out more often. Illegal aliens ARE NO LONGER PICKING OUR FOOD. It would screw up their nice, new WHITE Nikes. The new generation of illegals are only here to party and get in on the free bennies. You really think they are going to be slave labor for the Gringos? Those days are over amigo. Fruit pickers don’t drive new RAM trucks and Cadillac Escalades with handicap placards hanging from the rearview mirrors.

That is correct, there are and have been legal channels for seasonal laborers.

Picking and processing our food with poopy hands so there are thousands of animals giving their lives for nothing when meat and everything else gets recalled so we get to pay higher prices. Thanks a lot.
