Horsecrap!
Then raise the pay.
End welfare and you would be surprised how many workers become available to do the work currently done by illegals.
(Welfare and charity should be provided by voluntary organizations. Those that can screen out the needed from the greedy).
See B.S.
Trotting out the old; “Doing the jobs Americans won’t do.” nonsense again.
Legal immigrants can work as hard or harder than illegals... work harder because that have a stake in the country.
SeeBS FakeNews
Maybe the dairy industry ought to be looking for innovation.
They can’t keep people at the wages they wish to offer.
Increase labor costs, and they will invest in automation.
I recall a number of months back, someone on Facebook lectured to me about restaurant workers on the Upper East Side and trusting that I would not want to check on their legal status. And it made me think privately that if these companies employ “undocumented” persons, shouldn’t liberals be angry about this? Because that’s how these companies evade minimum wage laws, workers’ compensation insurance, Employer Health Tax (what we have here in Ontario to cover health care costs), and the rest of the apparatus that liberals helped to create for ordinary citizens.
Don't tell me there aren't Americans who won't do this work if you paid them well.
Citizens and LEGAL immigrants can work, too. Remember when high school and college students could earn money by actually, you know, "working"? I earned money in high school, at 16 years of age, working in a laundry.
So, my dear employers, get legal employees. Better your wages and working conditions.
Or mechanize.
Not word one about how Wisconsin ‘gets it done’ with American workers & technology...hmmmm!
Sweat shops used to depend upon illegal workers; they’d hire gangs to kidnap people, bring them to the workplace/living quarters and hold them in chains. They’re highly impacted by human trafficking laws, and those laws should be eliminated so that they can return to those practices so that the prices of jeans can drop by $3.
Also I love how the author blends legitimate legal immigrants in with illegals, treating them as equal when citing statistics. Here’s a study on (legal) immigrants and their impact on this industry, you remove legal immigrants from the equation, prices go up dramatically. No one is suggesting removing legal immigrants.
That’s a lie
They hire those people because they have got so GD big they cant handle the farm anymore.
This is the biggest lie I have ever seen. Maybe these greedy I am the biggest yack yack yack...if they would have kept a nice farm that could be run by the family they’d have something.
liberalism at work, I guess...
Bravo Sierra!!!
Many dairy farms in Wisconsin employ Americans and Russians (on work visas), few employ Hispanics.
One of the arguments to keep slavery was because no one else would do the ag work. Hmm. Here the Democrats are again with the same arguments for the same reason.
What happens when you have slave workers is that you do not automate/innovate. Post civil war saw an amazing amount of agri innovation and now we produce much more food per acre.
Dems just really like slavery.
