Some farmers in Florida say they're concerned that a recent immigration law signed by Governor Ron DeSantis could lead to a shortage of workers doing the kind of jobs that few Americans actually want.

Democrat voters want our children to be taught to hate the color of their own skin in school. Democrats want to confuse children about their sexuality, teach them perverted sex acts and mutilate their sex organs in horrific sex change operations. Democrats want Biden to send hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine for endless war and to pay the Ukrainian people's pensions while millions of Americans are homeless and hungry. Democrats are glad Biden hired 87,000 new IRS agents to persecute American families now struggling under Biden's crushing 100% inflation. Democrats want tens of millions of the world's criminals and poor emptied from prisons into America, destroying the economy, culture and way of life. People who support Biden think they will "build back better" with communism, but they will only succeed in bankrupting America and promoting war, suffering, and death. Those who voted for Biden deserve to have their country destroyed which they actually want. They don't deserve the freedom their fathers and grandfathers fought and died for so it will be taken from them and they will be enslaved and impoverished in the land of their birth.

Supporting a labor market that is illegal means that guest workers and other workers cannot ever get a fair wage because they’re importing workers who will work for four dollars an hour. If we eliminated the labor trafficking, that corporations and farmers are doing now, we could have guest migrant workers, making at least a minimum wage, and paying into taxes at the same time. People need to understand what Cesar Chavez was trying to do for farmworkers. He was against importing illegal, immigrant, because it under cut all of the farm workers in the area.

I worked for a peach orchard in the early 90’s when I was in high school. The owners would take a truck down to Mexico, to a specific community, and return with a bus full of workers for his farm. He then had a tent city behind the orchard where they resided for the summer. When the summer was over, the Mexican workers would return back to the town via the same bus. During the rest of the year, the orchard owner and other members of the church he belonged to would return to Mexico several times during the year to bring them donations and items the community needed. I always felt it was a symbiotic relationship. And as someone who worked there and made decent money before returning to college where I got paid $3.25 an hour, I can practically guarantee that their money went even further back in Mexico

Back in the 90's on my farm I was hiring young locals who figured merely by showing up they deserved their pay, so I decided to give a local labour contractor a try. The first day the bus rolled up with about 50 workers and not one was under 65. Despite that subsequently I only used the contractor. Those senior citizens, although costing more per hour (contractors markup) were cheaper because they worked harder. I had to demand they take coffee breaks since they'd prefer to work through to pick up an extra 30 minutes (2X15 minute breaks ) of pay. All my fields were cleaned simultaneously improving crop management, the contractor knew what he was doing so I didn't have to babysit my crew, and, I could spend my time more productivity elsewhere.

Why do we wanna take in every poor bastard that just decides for himself he wants to live here? We should reserve the number of visas issued that meet our national goals and preferences. Redeeming qualities are: Has education (like doctor or whatever) has own money, has own business, no criminal record, etc. We can choose the best and kick out the rest.

When I was a kid in Salem Oregon, we had lots of canneries, my grandfather owned one. There were not a lot of migrants in those days, and high school kids picked, and lots of regular people. I was about 8 or 9 and my brother was about 11. My mom would go with us sometimes. My dad thought we needed to learn how to earn money. LOL. Let me tell you, we picked strawberries..HORRIBLE!!!! Hot in the sun, no shade and we got paid by the "lug" that was a tray of 8 boxes of berries. Of course I ate some of the biggest and juiciest. We then picked pole beans. Better than strawberries. We picked everything, even the big pulpy ones that you don't eat. They were used in baby food. My grandfather packed for Gerber as one of his contracts. I liked picking Boysenberries. Dad would drop us off, including Mom if she was going and sometimes a friend and her kids too, about 8 or 9 in the morning and pick us up by 5 that night. It was a very long day. As for rewarding? Hmmmmmm, I could find something else. I don't see anyone, kids or not, running to do those jobs. The price of your produce will not go down if it rots in the fields and it has done that over the last few years. Now we have the water from snow melt covering what used to be farmland in central California. 8.00 for a watermelon the other day and the farmers are barely making it. Less crops, crops not being picked, more money for fuel and fertilizer. People need to stop the effing culture wars, get their head out of their nether regions, and look at the REAL issues we face.

Its not anti immigration its anti illegal immigration. The first victim of letting illegals work are the illegals. Sure they are cheap labor under dehumanizing conditions, they don’t deserve to be treated like that. In the end they are criminals who entered the country illegal by human traffickers. Specially construction workers some times don’t get paid and get threatened with getting deported some also do a shitty job because they just care about making a buck to send back, maybe tomorrow they get deported. They don’t pay car insurance and drive illegally. The lists adds on…illegals are a problem and criminals. Sure they do deserve to come legally to the US but not illegally. Look up at Canada, Australia, they just don’t let anyone get in. In Canada if you have a long criminal history you are not even allowed to enter the country. Do you let just about anyone walk inside your home? I sure don’t.

Those jobs used to be kids working summer loading watermelons and cantelopes , etc. I had alot of friends who lived around me who loaded them during the summer for less than minimum wage. They would pay by the load. At lunch they would buy them a drink and something to eat. The kids needed the money for things such as gas for there 4wheelers , dirtbikes , etc. And anything they wanted to buy. Parents were not sorry and worthless like they are today. They give there kids everything and they never understand the value of a dollar . Farmers now live better than most doctors and lawyers by paying mexicans a couple dollars a day and housing them all in one house and giving them a van for transportation. Its nothing more than legalized slavery. Period. I know. We did it on our farm for years until my father died 13 years ago. I no longer farm. But i lived it.

"There's got to be a better way to make a living" is what I said to myself one day after a long hot day of intense labor. Yes, Marine Corps boot camp is actually easier than picking fruits in the hot CA sun. The US government actually cares if you get heat stroke or heat exhaustion, your typical farm owner, not so much.

But many opt the cheapest route, hire illegals in the country, and don't have to abide by labour laws and minimum wages. And that also attract more illegal immigration. Do you see how misinformed you are????

Illegals cross the border because they know they will be hired. Now that businesses have to pay the consequences, now they wanna complain? Illegals would love to legally work. It's up to the businesses to file the visa paperwork, which they don't and you know why.

I picked grapes during vandange (grape harvest) in Switzerland and France for a few seasons when I lived in Paris. I only did 1 season in France because the pay and working conditions were so much better in Switzerland. I was usually the only American maybe there would be 1 or 2 more out of a hundred plus workers. I got yelled at because I was taking jobs away from Europeans but not Swiss or French; from Polish and Czech. Everyone thought all Americans were rich at that time. They thought it was unfair that I was taking a job away from someone who made more in 2 or 3 weeks picking grapes than they did in their home countries in 6 months working as professionals like teachers. Guess how many Swiss people picked grapes in Switzerland? Zero. The minimum wage at that time (90s) was $12/hour. That was a lot back then. I wasn't rich and I couldn't have earned $12/hr back then in my home city. But I could understand their point. In my home country, I would have more opportunity to earn a decent living than they did in theirs. Still the point is, Swiss people didn't want to pick grapes for $12/hr. Just like Americans don't want to pick watermelons for $8/hr. So why hassle the people who do actually want to do the work?

The rest are out and about helping to lower the wages of the trades, and in some cases are even politicians trying to boss us around, police trying to arrest us, or lawyers who somehow have a license to practice law but are criminals themselves.

So much for "They took our jobs!". Here is another good example of that nonsense not being true, out of high school and before college I got a factory job at a plastic factory Sterilite. It was insane difficult, 12 hour shifts, no AC, limited breaks. And well most people there were hispanics. That place was constantly hiring too, if you needed a job apply there and within a week you start, I saw so many start and quit after 1 night.
