“If you only have legal labor, certain parts of this industry and this region will not exist,” said Harold McClarty, a fourth-generation farmer in Kingsburg whose operation grows, packs and ships peaches, plums and grapes throughout the country. “If we sent all these people back, it would be a total disaster.”

Mr. McClarty is not just concerned about his business, but also about his work force, he said. Many of them have worked for him year-round for more than a decade, making at least $11 an hour. After immigration officials audited his employee records a few years ago, he was forced to let go of dozens of employees.

“These people had been working for us for a long time, and we depended on them.”

all these :larry:are so stupid and easily manipulated.

These farmers will go out of business.

The majority of blue collar workers will not get jobs when he raises tariffs, and drops trade agreements. They'll be worse off when inflation goes up and they're further down the food chain

zero sympathy
