There’s nothing wrong with migrants working the fields. No shame in hard work as long as you come in legally and don’t cut the line. Thousands trying to get these field jobs only to have others illegally cut in front of them.

@Blackie You do realize that is an oxymoron right? Do you have any idea how backlogged and slow the US immigration system is and how needlessly complicated?

Produce would literally be rotting in the fields before the paperwork was even finished.

And the last statement is just random speculation on your part with zero evidence. So yes you do have a problem with people trying to do honest work, you just are afraid to admit to it. Hide bigotry behind an argument over bureaucracy.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow oh yea just because you say so? Riiiight. you're just being racist and think everyone working the fields is illegal and your just parroting CNN with saying theres a backlog. I'm sure it's backed up a few cases but things are getting done. I happen to know a couple farmers that pay very well and everyone working is documented so from where I stand this makes sense and the guys complain illegal workers are the biggest competitors on other farms that dont quite follow the hiring laws.

@MaBalzEsHari yea ok you probably never stepped foot on a farm talking like that. you make it seem like everyone is paying those wages you made up off the top of your head. whats Trump got to do with it? thats how I can tell you're out of touch with reality you probably never posted on this problem before now suddenly you like so many others care about Illegals this was a mess before Trump came in Too many illegal migrants trying to push out the legal migrants from these jobs you claim nobody wants. Too many white people trying to fight other peoples fights gets old. Im starting to believe that TDS is real. people coming out of left field talking about things they never cared about and always mentioning Trump. lol
@Blackie No, because your own words betray your true intentions. Nobody who has any idea what they are talking about would make that argument in anything but bad faith.

And no. Assuming they are all illegal is your problem, not mine.


And there is a backlog. Pretending otherwise just makes you dishonest. And the vary same farmers are saying 50% of their workforce is undocumented.

You making up stories doesn't magically do away with bureaucracy.

Pretending processing the paperwork of thousands of people within weeks is simple or even possible makes you dishonest or frankly an idiot. It defies basic logic.

And also about 50% of all "illegals" in the US are people who have come to the country legally with a visa but have overstayed their visa or haven't filed the paperwork to extend it.

So again people who are illegal based exclusively on paperwork.

But sure. Sit around and wait for the entire harvest in California to rot so you can have your paperwork in order.

You are not making a serious argument.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow oh California lol you said it all there
illegal is illegal any way you look at it you’re trying to justify it and then calling other people dishonest. People know the rules they choose to break them and you’re pulling numbers out of thin air and there wouldn’t be thousands of people if the door hadn’t been left wide open you conveniently leave that out but whatever you probably didn’t care before but now you want to be a martyr. The only one assuming things is You, you’re the one crying about it.

@Blackie And since you dismiss California out of hand I can also safely assume you have no idea where your food comes from and just assume it magically appears at the grocery store.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow 🙄 ok you got me there, I thought the store made everything in the back. LOL
@Blackie Well you seem to think so since you seem to think produce will just wait in the fields for 18 months until everyone's paoperwork is in order.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow it’s called satire -look it up and there you go again with your baseless fear assumptions. I haven’t seen one bit of impact on produce coming to the stores. I’ll judge the impact when I can no longer get produce. Until then enjoy your plight which you probably never cared about before and now suddenly you’re an activist. lol.
@Blackie Just stating facts.

And are you 15? That is the last time I had someone try and back out of a bad take by trying to pretend it is satire.


Yeah because the best way to do fire safety is to wait till your house as burned to the ground and wonder what happened. (sarcasm).

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow back out? 🤔 you’ll keep in going forever with baseless assumptions you choose to live in a burning house unless the world is accordingly to you. Have fun. Go get a hug or a weighted blanket you’ll feel better. The sun will rise tomorrow and bring more important issues. Real ones. lol
