I am in Georgia. I have read that the farmers are very upset so the governor put rehab people to farm for vital produce as community service. But it looks like most can’t handle the heat of day for work. They quit just after noon in a article. I read that a week or two ago. It sounds good but nobody but immigrants either illegal or not will only do this type of work. It looks like the system has been taking illegals too long to just shift the work load right away to another type of worker. At least that’s what I have been reading. Everywhere I go I see Hispanic people at least working in all businesses. If all or half are illegal. I can’t see stability in the service. Just saying.
“It sounds good but nobody but immigrants either illegal or not will only do this type of work.”
For a market rate Americans will do anything; the pay is being skewed by the availability of the immigrants (legal or not). There is nothing about Georgia that stopped Americans (white & black) from farming there for centuries.
We all know there will be an adjustment period and we are willing to sacrifice until this “illegality” comes to an end.
It’s got to start somewhere and yes, it will hurt a little in the beginning, but just like everything else, it will soon fall back into it’s proper place.
