Tacit admission that the farmers are breaking the law and knowingly hiring the illegals. Find them, fine them, deport the workers.
I’ll pay more for my produce if I can be assured that they’re picked by Americans and/or LEGAL immigrants who pay all their taxes and have been screened.
Ah, yes, where the rubber meets the road. When people suddenly realize that cheap labor is at steak, they go all wobbly on the illegal immigration thing.
The farmers are lying, there is 14 different programs to bring in illegal labor to work crops, the thing is the farmers want the cheap under the table illegal labor.
The federal governments interest is to allow Illegal immigration for tax revenue and a expanded voter base.
Truth is painful.
The American Sheep are too drugged and blinded to care to stop it.
70 - 100 million tax paying Americans were aborted since Rove v Wade as well as their aborted tax paying prodigy numbering into generations.
Somewhere in ancient texts these same words have already been written.
Human history repeats it stupidity.
So these farmers do not mind having criminals working for them ? Are they not even concerned about the safety of their product ? From what I have seen here in Kalifornia, the employees that hire illegals experience the greatest number of robberies and thefts. When those illegals get desperate, they go to the places they know.
Here’s what happens: The farmers have to pay a LOT more, maybe twice as much - Americans WILL do that work, for a price. Food goes up in price, maybe 20%. I don’t have a problem with that, if the Illegals really do go home. I do have a concern about whether those prices wind up increase our food imports...that must be prevented.
Nancy Foster speaks for the farmers of America??
Those farmers only care about the almighty dollar while the country gets over run by the illegals.When that happens whose to say they dont take the farm away and give it to an illegal.I’m sure this has never happened before./s
““This would be an emergency, a dire, dire situation,” said Nancy Foster, president of the U.S. Apple Association, adding that the prospect of an E-Verify check would most likely mean that many immigrant workers would simply not show up.”
Put the unemployed to work.
We used to have a temporary farm worker immigration option where Mexican peasants could come into the US to work the farms during harvesting seasons. Then they would go back home until the next season.
These farmers don’t need to wreck the whole country with open borders nor do they need to oppose legal workers in the US. They need to support a LEGAL immigration visa system taylored for their farming labor needs. This is a part of immigration reform what Republicans should try to get passed in order to help out with harvesting.
Democrats move to outlaw local farm stands.
