US farm groups want Trump to spare their workers from deportation

[Wig Twistin Season]

”Between 1/3 and 1/2 of all farmworkers in America reside in California, or roughly 500,000 - 800,000 farmworkers. Approximately 75% of California's farmworkers are undocumented; 83% in Santa Cruz County.”

Get Informed — Center for Farmworker Families

California, as an agricultural state, has about 1/3 of all farmworkers living here in the country with somewhere between 471,000 and 626,000 FW. Most are Mexican or of Mexican descent. It’s estimated that 65% of these FWs are undocumented and approximately 1/3 are women. They range in age from about

He appears to be a Democrat, but a lot of farmers aren’t and lie about their farm workers.





I’ve driven up the 5 and 99 Freeways more than once and have seen the pro Trump signs on farms.

I guess America needed another lesson in where their products come from and who the workers really are in this country


xenophobic morons

Probably will bring back a form of convict leasing/labor mandates while they are being detained in deportation camps. I don’t put anything past this upcoming administration

So….our civil war was about poor farmers exploiting labor and willing to die for it.

And now poor farmers no longer can exploit labor but they willingly voted for it?

how about paying a living wage and you wouldn't have problems filling farm workers

prob paying alejandro and hector 4 dollars a hour and ish, Low wages, made to dangerous work, 7 people crammed in a tiny room with 1 bathroom

modern day slavery and cant complain cuz you're not a citizen

We all know what’s gonna happen here. Trump gonna make a show of rounding up illegals in some areas that don’t matter while he completely ignores the illegals his financial backers use for their businesses.

It’s all just a show, and unfortunately Trump knows how TV works.

Keep telling people the immigration "problem" is a made up issue. No way to deport all of them and not also ruin the economy

Which means they won't, they just gonna talk and make a show of it like you said

Breh its like that here too theres no way you could charge ppl the prices for fruits and vegetables right now if you were paying workers a living wage.
Everytime i drive down near Welland/Niagara you can see mexicans/hispanic farm workers hanging outside the local FreshCo waiting for taxis to pick them up and drop them back off at the farm...

Yea, these mega farmers will very likely get their wish, get a permanent underclass designed to walk on eggshells while their offspring get to go to substandard schools, child labor laws gone, sex ed diminished and the system rolls on.
