Yes. Imagine the savings on salary, taxes and fees that employers have to pay for American workers. Why wouldn't employers want people in fear of deportation? They are much easier to manipulate and abuse. America has a long long history of this. |
Americans won't do those jobs as indentured servants. Those workers are charged room and board by the employer and paid "the remainder." |
Do you believe everything people tell you without any critical thinking? |
Nah.
You know what is expensive? Supporting millions - yes MILLIONS - of illegal immigrants with government money through benefits, free health care, schooling, debit cards, housing, etc. etc. not to mention the cost (not just monetary) to the hundreds and thousands of families who have suffered from the crime inflicted on them by illegal alien criminals. Deportation is an expense I can get behind. |

Even the jocks found the work too hard. This is what one of those Americans who worked the farm said recently about his experience:

Why would anyone argue in favor of this? |
And you're going to pay for it with more tax cuts then complain about the debt some more. |
Answering a question with a question is a sign of deflection. I don’t believe everything people say. But having grown up in AZ among the agriculture system (knew a handful of farmers), I know that the statement is true. There are numerous programs for legal foreign workers. These became a thing because Americans do not want to pick fruit in the heat. No matter the pay. |
This hasn’t been a thing in decades! |
Agree. Such a sanctuary city assumption too. The illegals take all the unskilled jobs. |

yup. Tons of ID fraud, welfare fraud, tax fraud |
They are getting automated- by EV AV tractors. Eg. Monarch Tractors cost less than a contractor plus uses less labor plus has sensor panels to track soil, moisture, video crop health, etc for the farm manager. Can mow, plan, harvest some things, pull whatever. No gasoline either. Win win win |
Punish both sides. At the same time . All criminals and fraudsters deported immediately. High priority. Stop citizenship by birth too. A fruit picker doesn’t need to show up with wives, aunts, children. |
