In a place where local, legal help was nearly impossible to keep<' the Post is reporting before adding, "But then Trump,

At least three typo mistakes in this article. The degree of publish-fast-don't-edit in our "journalism" is off the scale. I hate it.

Anyway, this is what you voted for, asshole.

These red voting MAGA fucks were receiving grants to hire labor and they claim socialism is bad. I have zero sympathy for their problems and this is another classic FAFO situation.

Good! No exploiters should be able to sustain their practices.

Well this is good

You can't expect a good end for the net negative incentives all the collectivist immigrant policies created during this time. Here is the backlash.

Ironic for people that keep saying to have empathy for others, and yet everything they do keeps increasing human suffering.

Great idea guys

Yeah let's allow everyone to enter the country. Where will they work, how will they provide for themselves? What do you say? Not our problem now!

Ah but y'all knew the incentive was already there. People desperate for work and people in need of cheap labor go hand in hand

An industry can't be based on cheap exploited labor just like that

Now the guys who you hate have to undo what you did

Now they need to remove the incentive on why people come to the US in the first place and the ones related to companies not having actual consequences to hiring illegal inmigrants

Shit will get expensive? Sure, but it will be worth it right?

People will need to work more? Of course, every poor citizen of the us usually has to work their ass of. But now much more

The cheap food and goods festival over? Well, about time

The idea is so badly implemented... you have to raise back Unions and decent salaries, what they expecting is that actual born americans will do the same job for the same shit money that desperate migrants who have absolutely nothing.

So in essence they want the new slaves to be US born, yeah fuck that.

Time for Mexico to pump up its own agriculture to supply the goods that will be needed on the other side of the fence. Labor is plenty now.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Mexican farm produce at American farm prices. That's how capitalism works, right?

The leopard of eating faces is going to become obese after the end of this year

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago

The leopard is already on a triple bypass. By the end of the year, if it keeps going like this, they will be doing a sleeve gastrectomy.

You mean that the job isn't worth what you pay to do. They always pretend it isn't the money. But of course its the money. If I'm going to work my ass off I expect better pay. Those immigrants were working their ass off for minimum wage and the farmers knew they were exploiting them.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Literally everything in America is about how much money you have, but God forbid you ask an employer how much they're going to pay you. Because at your job what really matters is FAMILY. It's like, give me a fucking break.

Any pretty much any physical job comes with copious risks to your body and health, yet these types of employers typically don't pay for employee health plans nor do they pay enough for employees to comfortably afford their own. Why would anybody want to risk severing a finger, breaking a leg, getting bitten by a dangerous snake, a nail to the hand, etc if they don't have to, especially knowing they can't afford the treatment and it could lead to lifelong pain and disability?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago (2 children)

You think they're making minimum wage?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

There's literally a sub minimum wage in a lot of U.S states. 2.13$ an hour iirc?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Probably not all of them. The ones I've had experience with were.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago (2 children)

They mean that the workers are probably making less than Minimum Wage. There are exceptions to minimum wage for agricultural work. Minimum wage would have been an improvement.

Nothing about my statement was an argument requiring input from tom clancy.

What's that? Southern states running on cheap labour can't cope with the loss of that labour? Where have we heard that before?

Fool me once and all that, but they actually voted for it this time round...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It’s not just Southerners who are the bad guys here. A huge amount of liberals are ecstatic to exploit cheap migrant labor as well.
