To add.. Obama even provided proof of his birth certificate to counter Trump's birther lies. Yet, Trump kept pushing the lie. I don't care who started the lie; Trump still pushed it long after. If Obama can provide proof, Trump should do the same. But, he hasn't. He can't because he knows she lied. She should be deported along with the rest of her family. |

I don't care. Do you? |

clearly you don't because the rules that apply to others don't apply to your Dear Leader. But, since you responded the way you did, you obviously think she, indeed, did lie. Deport her and her whole chain migration commie family. |

Liar. Florida has e-verify. Why are you Democrats vehemently against that? |

| Less expensive on many levels than letting them stay. |

This is the kind of unbridled stupid that I expect from the neo fascists, bravo. Let us know when Mexico stops laughing. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/mexico-refuses-accept-us-deportation-flight-rcna189182 |

Why would Mexico reject workers who provide more tax revenue than native workers? |

| When democrats decided that they wanted to import brown people to pick fruit/veg, slaughter cows and chickens, clean toilets and cut lawns for discount prices; the bonus is the virtual slaves vote for democrats. Neat. Moral. Very moral and kind. |

It’s almost like saying that an economy can’t survive without illegal & low or no cost labor to farm the land. You know who else used that argument? The Confederacy during the Civil War. Let that sink in. |

The conservative in me thinks addressing this issue (deporting them) would lead to higher wages and better benefits in the ag sector, which attracts more domestic workers to work in ag. It also would increase investment in mechanization and automation. There will be a time of higher costs increased food prices but when things settle, they should stabilize.
However, on a broader level, I find this entire situation absurd. The United States has become far too reliant on migrant labor, having half of the agricultural workforce undocumented. We need to ask ourselves why this is the case. It ain’t because this is "work Americans won't do". It's entirely because, for over 40 years, corporations have been allowed to exploit cheap imported labor, keeping wages for these jobs disgustingly low sometimes even below the federal minimum wage. There are plenty of Americans who would be willing to do this work, but not for $12 an hour under the sweltering sun of Texas. Offer $30 an hour plus benefits to harvest lettuce, and you would see plenty of people lining up for those jobs. The problem lies in the fact that neither Democrats nor Republicans have taken meaningful action for decades. BOTH sides have allowed "big ag" to exploit these workers, paying pennies per box harvested perpetuating this cycle of exploitation, and doing so in such a way that if it were to ever dare end, suddenly panic, omg, our foods gonna rot and we're all gonna die of starvation because we cant afford food! They have caught you in this line of thinking, so they will always get their cheap, exploitive labor. In my opinion, the widespread abuse of migrant labor over the past four decades is a shameful stain on this country. But, just like iPhones and Nike shoes, most people turn a blind eye to the unethical labor practices behind the products they want, so long as the price is low. Just look at OPs post: concerns about "rotting crops" and "skyrocketing prices", and not a single care about the exploitation of these workers. This has been ignored for decades and now that there's a policy threatens to send them home, we just get all up in arms because we might have to pay more. |

We have fascists literal Nazis, annd fascist collaborators implying that people that risked their lives to enter a country illegally to perform labor of their own choice and that can quit at any time are analogous to civil war slaves. This is peak stupid. I mean, for now, I’m sure that’s it’s going to get way WAY dumber.

Giving them a path to citizenship would solve this, easily. There, I did your homework for you. |
