Trump floats plan to legalize undocumented immigrant farmworkers

He's claiming that foreign-born migrants are “naturally” better suited than “inner city” Americans to menial agricultural jobs.

So many racial digs to unpack in this statement.

“inner city” Americans to start with. I can't wait to hear Tom Scott defuse this one.

I dont see the problem here... Its not like America can sell its produce overseas any more.. Just eat all the stuff China, Canada and the E.U are sending back..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman We can't sell our own products to ourselves is the problem. These people are afraid to go to work. So the crops are sitting in the fields.

This affects those that depending on the charity food services even. They have no food items on the shelves to give out.

No food items, higher cost in food, less charity.

@DeWayfarer Yep. From a personal, social and humanitarian point of view, this is an internal problem. And its one of the first that the government has not been able to hide from the people. And its going to get way worse. The Trump Genie isnt going back in the bottle..😷
