So they're openly acknowledging that they're employing illegal immigrants. Employment of illegal immigrants is the number one motivator for immigrants to come here without documentation. These people are the entire cause of the problem that they complain so loudly about. They rage against the issue that they cause when it's time to elect a president, vote against the guy who proposed we support the immigrants, and now want the guy who said he'll deport all of them to adopt the policies of the guy they voted against. Can we deport these people instead?

They're past the "fuck around" phase and nearly into the "finding out" phase. I'm honestly emotionally dead at this point. I'm just not capable of caring anymore.
I hope they get what they voted for.
Farmers will fail which will cause them to sell out to huge farm conglomerates. The rich get richer.
They already are the huge farm conglomerates. There isn't anyone to sell too.
I miss the days when I believed "at least they'll learn their lesson."
Yeah they absolutely will not.
And yet, farmers are not railing in protest. Many say they expect the president will support their workforce needs, either through a robust legalization program for workers already here or by leaving farms be and focusing enforcement elsewhere.
Oh so now they want the Biden immigration naturalization policy? But from trump? There's seriously no bigger group of dummies.
It really must be quite the experience living life as though there's always some savior in waiting.
Religion in a nutshell.
Farmers hope for solutions such as workforce legalization or expanded H-2A guest worker programs
Good thing they voted for the candidate guaranteed to do neither of those things.
Edit: Comments on the article are about what you'd expect. Bring popcorn.
As I said elsewhere, popcorn sales will be going through the roof.
Lets see how long it takes him to take the first trillion out of the US economy. I expect him to succeed with this before next years Christmas.
Just like last time, the best outcome we can hope for is that those around him manage to desperately change his mind or blunt the effectiveness of his plans.
Then of course people will say "Look Trump wasn't as bad as you said he'd be." 😬
I will be overjoyed if I can ever say trump wasn't as bad as I expected him to be. But so far he's always managed to be worse, despite my very low expectations.
Yeah, it's for that reason why I think blunting his badness isn't the best outcome. People need to learn, stop saving them from themselves.
California Republicans are like New York Republicans. They have no say in our presidential elections.
If this leads to an accepted path to legal immigration only because it came from red voters then I’m fine with it.
