US Farm Groups want Trump to Spare Their Workers from Mass Deportation

If a machine can pick cotton surely a machine can be invented to pull a carrot out of the ground or whack off a head of lettuce.

Democrats want to keep their slaves.

Can we keep a few who may know how to start a halfway decent thread?

WASHINGTON, Nov 25 (Reuters) - U.S. farm industry groups want President-elect Donald Trump to spare their sector from his promise of mass deportations, which could upend a food supply chain heavily dependent on immigrants in the United States illegally.

So far Trump officials have not committed to any exemptions, according to interviews with farm and worker groups and Trump's incoming "border czar" Tom Homan.

Nearly half of the nation's approximately 2 million farm workers lack legal status, according to the departments of Labor and Agriculture, as well as many dairy and meatpacking workers.

Trump, a Republican, vowed to deport millions of immigrants in the U.S. illegally as part of his campaign to win back the White House, a logistically challenging undertaking that critics say could split apart families and disrupt U.S. businesses.

Homan has said immigration enforcement will focus on criminals and people with final deportation orders but that no immigrant in the U.S. illegally will be exempt.

Aren’t the immigrant farm workers here on a work visa already? Trump wants to deport the ones who have a criminal record or have no idea who they are. If they are coming from China and Venezuela or other far countries, they need to be vetted before setting foot on American soil. If farmers are harboring immigrants with a criminal record, tough $hit, they have to go!

We want government subsidies AND cheap harvest labor!!!

If those workers are legal, why would the farmers be whining?

Nope. frick off cocksuckers. If you want workers, pay them a livable wage and don’t give me the bullshite “we can’t afford it” excuse

Do u have a chubby ahole?

I'm pretty sure that the ones that are here and working, paying taxes, not using any us tax money to live and otherwise keeping a low profile are probably going to be the last ones out the door.
