How are you gonna keep them down on the farm?
Its a global phenomenon
the pineapple crop in Thailand depends on most illegal migrants from Myanmar/Burma
Thais also do not want to work outdoors in the Tropical sun
“For decades, Mexicans crossed the border to pick Americans’ lettuce, grapes and strawberries”
And use those fields as their own personal toilets.
Last time I checked, E. coli doesn’t appear spontaneously in produce.
Understandable. Why work in Mexico when you can sneak into the US and get free healthcare, social security payments, up to $1500/mo housing subsidies, plus other payments and not work at all?
Ask yourself this: Who are the idiots in this scenario?
ROTF laughing my breakfast burrito off. Nope, you can’t make this up. ELMO Dumbelldore allowed all his workers to escape his crap hole and move to America “for a better life” picking strawberries for the gringos. Funny stuff.
Farming can stand some automation.
It’s basic economics. The United States is incentivizing them to come across legally and do the work here.
Mexico won’t care. The remittances and cartels will bring in more money that their agricultural crops.
Do y’all know why there is a summer break from school?
So kids can work the Fields helping with the Harvest.
I did one summer in WA state . Picked berries at a farm for extra money for me. pay was on a per pail basis, within daylight hours, you set your own pace and hours. Aunt and uncle provided three hots and a “Cot” (warm place to live). If I wanted any spending money I had to go earn it, so I did.
California will be short too as the farm workers make more by staying home. Why work and lose your government handouts?
Most unfortunate: “..who did the jobs most Americans didn’t want.”
Most Americans? You mean those Americans who already had jobs that paid more than field work? Those in school at all levels? In the military? In government jobs? On Wall Street? Running small businesses? In professional and college sports? Those most Americans?
And that, for the available Americans, doing jobs that Americans didn’t want at the wages being offered.
Jobs too dirty, too oppressive, too crippling for Americans. But just right for the little brown people?
It’s a stupid racist meme repeated by people without thinking.
Without remittances Mexicans would be eating each other in a month.
What these idiots from south of the border don’t know, is that in the not so distant future, the border will be impregnable, only it will be there to prevent people from escaping, not coming to America. And they will be responsible for paying taxes to service $100 trillion in debt. When the music stops, America will be like East Germany, except we won’t have anywhere better to go.
“tough, hard-working men who did the jobs most Americans didn’t want.”
Let me fix that... “tough, hard-working men who did the jobs most Americans GETTING WELFARE AND SITTING ON THEIR ASSES didn’t want.”
Our free chit in the USA beats working for a living in Mexico.
For decades, Mexicans crossed the border to pick Americans pockets Biden increased the amount of them and the rest of the world.
Free stuff for a lifetime.
Let’s ship all the DC politicians there to do something useful.
