Labor Dept warns Immigration Policies Threaten Stability of the Domestic Food Supply

[Landon Caeli]

I'm not against prisoners doing the harvest. For the price of their upkeep.

Not a terrible idea, but media outlets would portray it as racism if minority prisoners were photographed working side by side in fields.

Yes it does. And thats wrong. The left supports it as much as the right and vice versa. As I said the RIGHT is the one that is wanting the illegals sent home and we recognize what that means for food prices. The left does NOT want them sent home. They want them here because it means food prices will stay lower.

The left wants them here to do the work, but they want them here free from exploitation.

What I dispute is the broad brush youve been painting with when it comes to the right and the carefully worded separation with the left. I think this is something us non-politicians could find common ground on. We could demand that the use of illegal labor be stopped. And programs be set up to allow for legal labor to take over which course would allow for migrant workers to be here for a time and earn a fair wage.

Yes, that pretty much sums up the Left's position. Now all we have to is get MAGA on board with it.

Right. Racist slave labor is not fashionable any more.

Once again, anything but having the farmers face rising wages for labor.

Well not quite. Small farmers should feel the rising cost of labor so they will have to sell out to corporate ag.

I thought ICE was only doing raids at Home Depot and apartment buildings

....which has nothing to do with the topic of this thread.

Are you against providing more temporary visas to meet the labor demand?

Without prompt action

Raise wages.

Raise wages.

IMO, it won't make a difference. Younger people look down on jobs that have historically been carried out by migrant labor.

Meh, raise the wages to the level of market demand.

Raise wages.

Raise wages???? That's MARXISM!!!

Have to raise the working conditions too.
