Around 75% of immigrant farm workers in Bakersfield, California, ditched their shifts after Trump ramped up his threats by removing protections against ICE raids in “sensitive areas,” including schools and workplaces.

    How about if you are hiring undocumented immigrants for this work, let’s not arrest the immigrants, let’s arrest the owners of the farm.

    Then we’ll sell the farm off to someone who is willing to pay a living wage to people, and not slaves with no other options.

      Or just give the farm to the workers and have them run it as a coop.

      If socialist-welfare-handout farming subsidies were paid it be great if they were forced to be returned by people that employed those not legal to work in the us as well. Misusing government funds and all that jazz.

      Naturally this will never happen but it’d be a good idea lol
