It's almost as if immigrants are a big source of exploitable labor that keeps the wheels of capitalism turning. Who would've thought?

So ... Pay the Americans more. That is why they are leaving, my farming friends. It really is that simple.
Yup. I worked a terribly hazardous job that will work you to death at asphalt plants for a couple of years and absolutely only did it for six figure pay in California. Worst people I have ever worked around. Most were dumber than the rocks in aggregate but they always show up, are great at driving in circles, and gossiping far worse than a group of little girls.

Listen up, MAGAt American farmer:
You better keep your prices low, or I won't buy as much American food!
How would the couple, who had no health insurance, pay for their daughter’s care if the administration and Congress gutted Medicaid?

This is how Trump will defend recreating slavery adjacent to the prison system slavery.
He will claim there is no choice.
will?
it already happened.
he said he'll exempt some industries from ice raids. those who work well be even more desperate, and the bosses will be able to call ICE to kidnap whichever worker isn't performing as desired. under those conditions it might as well be slavery without the actual ownership.

Why don't these farmers pay more to AMERICAN 🦅🇺🇸 citizens 🤬
Do they not understand demand and supply principle of capitalism?
They demanded the freedom to treat women and minorities as subhuman, and Trump supplied them with a government that said "yes, that's exactly what we'll do, and we won't even bother to pretend otherwise"

So much of the argumentation around this topic sounds the south arguing for slavery except it's liberals arguing for exploitative labor.
Republicans are not "liberals", no matter how much you Tankies claim that they are. They are the very definition of Fascist.

Yes but no. These people should be allowed in to work, legally and with workers protections. Not exploited.
Almost like...
Yep, forcing businesses to actually pay market rate for labour is something of an upside.
At least Hitler cared about Germany, or something.
???
dumbest take I've read today
Give me a single example that shows Hitler cared for Germany.
...it's a Rick & Morty quote.

It's bothering me that the cursive is not properly centered.
