The Trump idea that Americans will take these jobs is ludicrous. He is not grounded in any reality.[/quote]

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.
