I thought these were jobs Americans wanted to fill. I'm pretty sure I heard that line from Republicans... I guess I'm a little surprised they aren't just bringing the ICE detainees directly out to the fields.

Same thing happened when Alabama tried what Donald is doing. Mass deportations are very disruptive.

Politicians love them because of the easy, performative cruelty and most politicians are wealthy and insulated from the economic effects, but increased prices, empty schools, and crops dying in the field for lack of field workers have a dramatic effect on local economies.

How long until DHS goons who didn't get the memo start abducting and murdering these specific migrant workers? A week? A day? Minutes?

and of course prices will go back down aaaaaaanytime

What? I thought Real Americans^TM^ were taking up these jobs that they clearly said they wanted and that immigrants like me who work in tech were stealing?

The actual story from the article is that farmers are having to turn to visas to get enough workers, which is expensive for them. That's all.
