    Also we don’t have any day laborers to plant and pick our crops this year beacuse they are all too scared/deported for the US to produce enough food for ourselves.

      Lol fuck America depending on day laborers to subsidize low grocery prices. Time for all you citizens to get off your ass and head to the fields

          Is that really your argument? If farms just increased their labor costs by 300-500%, we could all just be happily employed farmhands?

            Yes. People are willing to do all kinds of tasks for money. If nobody wants to do a job it’s because you aren’t paying enough.

        Which is actually good this year because tourism is already down 30% and im too poor to travel. They would more than likely have lost their jobs by end of summer.

          yes it is good, florida, and texas have been touting how they are all conservative bastion stronghold, let see them pick some houseplants for a change. additionally its also why they rolled back child labor laws, but it still primarly target immigrants.
