[quote]“The crew didn’t show up,” said Peter Belluomini, who grows and packs lemons, mandarins and navel oranges east of Bakersfield, and is in the middle of harvesting all three crops. “Instead of 30 people, there were like five,” said Belluomini, referring to workers hired through a farm labor contractor for his citrus harvest. “The rest were hiding at home.”[/quote]

The info in this is coming from California Farm Bureau. For those not from an ag background the Farm Bureau has always been the more conservative of farmer organizations--strong ties to the John Birch Society in the 50s. But the Farm Bureau in Kern County, CA says:

The Kern County Farm Bureau stands with and supports our local farmworker community,” Holtermann said. She added that she agreed “criminals do not belong in our community.” But, she said, “those two groups—farmworkers and criminals—are not synonymous. Period.[/quote]

That's NOT what the Trump administration said today.   In the official White House Press Conference, today the new WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt had a reporter try to ask her how many of the illegal being deported were criminals.  She IMMEDIATELY quite unequivocally shot back with "They are ALL criminals.  Every person who crosses the border illegally is a criminal."

That tells me they DO NOT care about "prioritizing the violent illegals" but instead are going after any and all, including the friendly peaceful migrants picking crops at farms, the folks working meat processing plants, the construction and maintenance crews, the restaurant workers, the cleaning crews, the landscapers, and so on.

The Trump supporters who tried to deny it should now be embarrassed.[/quote]

Shocked they are going after all immigrants. Notice no red state have raids going on. They are no where near the 7,200 a day they need and they are complaining about lack of resources![/quote]

Oh screw that.  Every red county MAGA employer of illegals in agriculture, food processing, construction, maid services, hospitality, restaurants, landscaping, warehousing, and so on needs a dime dropped on them.  And there are a LOT of them.   They asked for it so they need to feel the pain of their decisions.  Flood the ICE phone banks and websites.  [/quote]
