Talk about expensive. Labor Department said food prices are going up. The labor shortage in ag is really bad. Gift link:
https://wapo.st/48Iuil5 The Trump idea that Americans will take these jobs is ludicrous. He is not grounded in any reality. |
But the Labor Department said farmers are facing “unreasonably high price floors on labor” that has exacerbated labor shortages. Meanwhile, guess who's footing the bill for those low-wage workers, legal or illegal? For their "free" healthcare, etc.? The NY Times reports that agricultural workers who are now too old to work or disabled are facing poverty without savings (hard to save on low wages), pension, or access to SS, Medicare, and Medicaid. Dems themselves based amnesty for farm workers, TPS holders, and Dreamers in the budget reconciliation bill on the huge net cost they'd be to SS, Medicare, Medicaid, and the EITC if they were legalized and able to collect benefits.

So a bunch of unidentified masked thugs just kidnapped a 15 year old girl out of a car. God knows where she is now or what is happening to her.
Trump's Amerikkka. |
| During the Biden Administration, red states were busing migrants to blue cities. Now red states are sending their National Guard to those same blue cities to round up those migrants. |
The lady who was stopped is a US citizen. They are using this rule that applies to non-citizens to stop anyone they think looks like a foreigner, which turns out to be anyone who looks Latino. |
Yup. John Roberts said this was fine. |
Actually about 170,000. Aside from the fact that, for example, thousands are Haitians who were NOT illegal but living under protected status until Trump revoked that. Same for Venezuelans falsely alleged to be TdA gang members. |

Federal agents arrested a Portland mother who was playing the “Ghostbusters” theme song on her clarinet at a protest outside an ICE facility. Oriana Korol, 38, is a member of the Unpresidented Brass Band, which calls itself a “social action oriented, horn driven marching band,” and seeks to deescalate protest tensions. In a video of her arrest from Sunday, a federal agent can be seen violently dragging Korol to the ground, as two more agents come to his aid and her clarinet falls out of her hands. Just snatch a lady standing in public space and ship her away.... |
