    I don’t know why they are worried, they will get them back after the camps are full. It will be much easier too, they won’t have to worry about payroll and ICE. They can just pay whatever private prison firm gets the contracts and they will ship them out in batches.

      Easy fix for this on Trump’s end. Join the Trump Farmers Association for 5 million and your workers are exempt.

    To that I say, nope, FAFO with your votes for Trump and your shitty Republicans.

    Go hire your white neighbors on unemployment, waiting for their settlement checks. Might want to ask Georgia, Arizona, and Florida how that worked and it’s working out for them.

    I’m so torn on this one…

    On the one hand I feel like a Trump supporter here, where I want the right people to suffer for their actions (the farmers/business owners who voted for him)

    But I also strongly hold the belief that we should be working to process all immigrants as quickly as possible so they can become citizens…

    MAGA, and most GOP in general are always lying about their intent or their issues: “they’re here illegally.” Is their explanation of their stance, but if that was true they would have little issue with expanding our capabilities of accepting new immigrants and helping them gain citizenship. Of course when you bring up that then their argument changes…

      I understand you feel like that’s vindictiveness, but hear me out - given that rural, agricultural, and Rust Belt states swung wildly towards Trump, I don’t think it’s unfair to instead think of that as justice.

      They will.

      Farms that grow crops that need manual harvesting will switch to corn, soy, etc. that can be harvested with a combine or shut down. The manual harvest crops will be bought from another country.
