Pennsylvania Farmers Face Labor Shortage Amid Immigration Crackdown
Oh, the irony's thicker than Trump Tower gold plating. Red-state farmers who cheered the deportation parade are now begging for immigrant hands to save their crops. Classic self-own—whining's out, reality's in, and it's biting hard.

Looks like they’re finally getting the hang of what they chose, huh? Farmers out there in PA, a solid red zone, are actually crushing it finding workers instead of whining. Weird flex but ok.

So y'all know that the #MassDeportations and the proposed #Medicare and #Medicaid "work requirements" are hand in glove, right? When all of the migrant workers are rounded up into deportation camps, who is going to be pressed in service in kitchens, hotel housekeeping, #FarmLabor, and slaughterhouses? All of those people who need #HealthCare, of course.
"Hey grandma, you want healthcare? You don't look too sick, get in there and milk them cows. Turn them beds.".
@ai6yr You may know about the life of the late George Tanimura, which included not only his leadership in agriculture but also that he and his family were forced into an internment camp in 1941. https://www.montereycountynow.com/blogs/news_blog/tanimura-antle-legend-george-tanimura-dies/article_39cce5c2-0591-11e6-b852-afb5ed56bb70.html

The same people who are griping about inflation are demanding that we mass deport farm workers and I haven't heard a single "serious journalist" point out the contradiction.
Wow, it looks like we may actually be starting a local farm labor collective this season! The trick will be to find non-farm organizations to pay 1/2 of the labor costs, as a way of supporting local farm production. (These farmers can't afford to pay a living wage, and we can't afford to work for less.) Hoping for support from the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union.

Truth: American farmers don’t want to prevent undocumented workers from coming to America; they want to keep their workers undocumented so they can underpay and abuse them.
