Y’all, let’s talk about immigrant workers.
I live in what was a rural area until fairly recently. We have a diner that’s been open since the train got here in the 1800s. I was there one day, when a trio of men who have never had dirt under their nails started talking about how all the Mexicans needed to leave.
And I turned around and said, Son, do you want to do that job? It’s 12 hours a day, in the Texas sun. Cause I know five farms right now that need workers.
Donald Trump wants to act on his threat to carry out mass #deportation. 75% of #Agricultural workers are #immigrants and about half of them are #undocumented. Meat packing is between 30 and 50 percent undocumented immigrants. So the whole food supply chain is reliant on people who are going to be rounded up.
You think grocery prices are high now, wait until the crops are spoiling in the fields. I mean, we could just give these workers citizenship, but naw, let’s let racism cause starvation instead.
