I thought that Covid would have been enough of a trial run for that.

At least in my country it was that. You know, it was Covid, with the highest unemployment rate since quite a long time, and farmers ran nation-wide ads looking for workers. They increased the pay sometimes up to 2-3x. They promised housing in nice hotels. And still, nobody wanted to do the job and that year there was just no strawberries on the shelves.

The only way working as a farm hand makes sense is if:

• The workers have no decent other option
• Working on a farm is safer than working at home
• Money is worth a lot more where they are from, so that the meagre salary they make in the target country is worth multiple times of that back home, so that the €1000-1200 they make over here turn into the equivalent purchasing power of €4000-6000 back home.

So much of the argumentation around this topic sounds the south arguing for slavery except it's liberals arguing for exploitative labor.

Importing workers to make 16.84/hr. Just what American is going to accept that kind of wage when the boss is getting grants of hundreds of thousands of dollars?

The immigrant would have to work 11,876 hours to earn the 200k handout that the boss gets for hiring him seasonally for two years. How is this sustainable? Are we all going to be working to subsidize farmers by 100k/year to hire a single foreign farmhand?

Not to mention the program for that grant has only 141 members... it just doesn't make sense.

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.

And yet they wont change their political positions. Theyd much rather go broke.

Stupid cunts.

Just buy a Musk-branded, doge- approved, exploding slave neck collar and perimeter fence kit. Keeps your child employees motivated, on-task, on-location.

Why don't these farmers pay more to AMERICAN 🦅🇺🇸 citizens 🤬

Do they not understand demand and supply principle of capitalism?

You DONT understand! All he Wanted was to Bully GAY Kids! He NEVER thought HIS Immigrant Workers who were STRAIGHT would be DEPORTED too EVEN THOUGH Trump promised to do that! STOP being SO Divisive you STUPID LIBRUL COMMIES!

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

Awww. That sucks. Your prolonged suffering as your entire lifes work slowly collapses around you, crops dying and cattle being sold in order to try and prop up what little you have left as you scream at everything around you....

Oh it's going to be so fucking entertaining.

Well, they won’t work for less than minimum wage, so there’s your problem. Hell, won’t even work for minimum wage.

capitalism suddenly stops believing in the supply demand graph once coercion is off the table

remind me of the post after brexit
