Have these people ever heard of the 13th Amendment?

Yep let’s import more veggies that are contaminated with who knows what. We have controls on pesticides and other chemicals allowed. Most other countries don’t. Then add the health of the labor.

I don't get the right anymore.

Somehow it's ok with the right wingers and global capitalists to offshore some 55,000 factories to the third world and put millions put of work. We import everything now from toaster ovens to TV's. None made here anymore. Communities have been devastated.

But the idea of importing fruits and vegetables is not acceptable. No, to these hypocrites it's better to import stoop labor and all the political and social problems that incurs in order to save a few pennies on the dollar.

Hypocrisy all the way around.

One state or region at a time it is being lost to communism or insanity. The pace is increasing.

I worked in the fruit industry (apples, peaches, etc.) for 38 years. I never did see any slaves of any color. Everyone was paid. Most of the harvest work was piece work. The more a person did, the more they made.

In fact, except for the work being seasonal, the wages they made often times was more than what they could have made working at an hourly wage paid job.

Some of the most stupid, waste of time people who were voted in by folks who live in my state. Gads it gets more embarrassing every day. The tiny minded elite of this state are power mad and run rough shod over the rest of us.

First they pass the bill, which many voting for it will think it’s harmless, after all, there are no slaves.

Then once signed into law they come up with the definition of what a slave is, which could be a person working for low wages, children working for their parents and not given monetary compensation, people not given adequate vacations or health benefits.

Earning below $15 per hour = slavery.

“We’re losing the west coast to communists.”

Sadly, turning into “We’re losing the Country to communists.”

Do not ever forget GOD is in control! He will complete His perfect plan, soon.
