Multi generational- must have been farming before the illegals came.
How did they get the work done then?
Guy interviewed states he’s undocumented, meaning illegal and should arrested and deported. He’s been here 14 years which is 14 years to long, time to go along with all your illegal buddies.
Ruben...because he is undocumented.
Ahhh...there it is.
Its illegal to hire illegals! So the po’ po’ mushroom farmers can shove it.
Hire legals.
Pretty simple solution.
Sounds like a real fun guy
Oh, you mean its chocked full of ILLEGAL aliens? Get them out. Replace them with Americans. If you need to charge a little more, so be it.
Plenty of wild mushrooms around, and they are more tasty. Just have to know which ones are safe to eat. Usually those that grow on rotting tree stumps are good. The last time my wife and I were in Kennett Square Pa. was about 40 years ago. Didn’t see any foreign looking workers. Mushrooms grown there are very good though, we bought these huge golden ones, never seen them before, or since in any store.
PA Ping !!!
So the guy interviewed has lived in the US for 14 years?! And…”he said in Spanish”?!?! This is what pisses me off the most! You can’t f-ing learn the language? Hop on the bus Paco. Get your sorry ass back to Meh hee ko. Or wherever
BUT WHO WILL PICK THE CROPS?
I have no sympathy for businesses that hire illegals. They increase their profit margins by paying lower wages under the table while transferring the true cost of the illegal’s presence onto the back of the taxpayer, who has to pay for medial coverage at emergency rooms, schooling for their children, welfare payments, higher auto insurance costs....
There are visa programs for seasonal workers, do it right or suffer the well-deserved consequences.
Gotta love how they torture the language for this article. The refer to “legal and undocumented immigrants”. Can’t bring themselves to say illegal.
I am familiar with this area and all of this illegal immigration puts a huge strain on the school system. I think it is something like 25% or more of the students English is their second language and require additional resources while paying very little in school taxes.
Illegal immigration under Obama-Biden was never about cheap labor. It was about permanently changing the demographic of the electorate. Don’t get fooled by the “Oh, no, now who will pick the crops” diversions.
Wages go up and jobs are made more appealing. Mushroom production, sales and consumption continue.
I completely agree.
I hauled old hay to mushroom farm in MI when I was 16 in 1973
They used it to mix with manure to make mulch to grow mushrooms for Cambell Soup.
Rows of buildings that looked like storage lockers, filled with trays
Everyone working there were little brown men
