If we make welfare less lucrative than work, we’ll have enough laborers.

Farmers say they “can’t” get workers. But what if you “farmed out” that recruiting job to a go-getter? I think American workers can be found - it just takes effort.

So while we’re all sitting idle sheltering in place for fear of the GREAT VIRUS, Central Americans and Caribbean Islanders will drive or fly into the country and harvest our crops for us for a pittance.

Farms could/would have improved their work and pay conditions by now had we not been feeding them cheap imported labor for decades. What’s worse, of course, is we’ve spread it to the rest of farming (and most labor) in the US.

They all need to go home. We need to adjust the economy to our workers and supply and demand.

But I give Trump a one-time pass on this right now, since he is fighting the push to crash us to an economic apocalypse—and we don’t need our domestic food supply disrupted right now.

I’d be happy to oay more for a salad then f I knew that the natives were harvesting it. Farmers have a wage problem disguised as a labor shortage.

If there were an actual Conservative American Patriot on the ballot for President in 2020, Trump would lose my vote.........

No one talks about it, but the vast majority of the jobs these migrants do could be replaced by machinery (some of which doesn’t yet exist, but could) - just as McDonald’s is doing in response to the $15 minimum wage. Of course food would cost a bit more (maybe 10% more), but food is very cheap these days, maybe $200 per month to feed a person with basic, but healthy food - so another $20 wouldn’t be a game changer.

I was hoping that Trump would figure that out...but not yet, and not for a while until this stupid virus is out of our lives.

I listened to President Trump’s press conference yesterday, and this came up.

President Trump said the Farmers have requested this because most of these workers have been working on the same farm for years. If they are not there, then the farmers will not be able to produce the numbers they need to.

We’re not going to have a country if we keep importing foreigners.

Back in the 1960’s and 1970’s the farms were in Ohio and other States and were moved to California to make use of the illegal aliens from Mexico.

We need to move those farms back to those States. Besides, California is having water shortages because of these farms.

Trump knows that Biden or the Dems would never go against this- that’s why it’s a safe issue for him, no matter how angry this makes his base.

How many workers here to harvest tomatoes?
Try and keep up with changes.

Take a look on YouTube and see how modern farming is operating today, the old manual labor is being replaced with robots. You can even see completely robotic Apple harvesting. Lettuce along with root plants like carrots and potatoes a harvested by massive machines. Fascinating videos that show how little we know about the future of agriculture.

Sometimes nations have to learn lessons the hard way.

What will we have learned?
