BS I worked in Ag my whole life.

Farmers just want free labor.

Framing is the reason we face the immigration issues we do.

Exactly. Couple the cheap labor with the subsidies and it’s no wonder there are many farmers living very comfortably, including some in my extended family.

Today’s farmer isn’t the same as your Grandparents. Both my parents grew up on farms. My Father on a subsistence one. Mother grew up on a huge one but they all worked all day. I lived on one until I was 5.

I had always liked farmers until I lived in Western Kansas for 5 years. To my surprise, no one liked them and that was real farming country.

Typically they spent all their time complaining about the government while driving brand new 4wd pickups and new luxury cars.

All of them were getting all kinds of government subsidies.

Well, according to Sen. McLame, if we don’t let illegal aliens pick produce, we will have to pay $10 for a head of lettuce. /s

They had to do something after emancipation.

I know a factory owner who wants free labor... many despicable business owners out there who love to have labor they can screw over.
