If All Illegal Aliens Are Deported, Who Will Pick The Crops?

We'll all starve to death. That's what the left says, at least. That, and it will all be Trump's fault.

No one on the left talks about the actual number of illegals picking crops. Nope. Only that the number is so massive, their deportation would spell our doom. So, is the number really millions and millions like the left says?

In 2023, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics said the number of Agriculture Workers was 782,400.


So, what is an "Agricultural Worker?"


Ah...a Farm Worker (those who picks crops) is a subset of Ag Worker...so the actual number is less than the 782K.

And let's not assume every farm worker is an illegal alien....that would be racist. Per NBC:


40%...it's probably less than 300K.

Are there illegals aliens working that don't get captured in the gov't numbers. Yep. Millions and millions? 🤡 🌎

Here's the USDA's farm worker data from 1950-2000. The trend supports the numbers above.


The number of farm workers has declined 67% over the last 75 years, thanks to improvements in farming machinery and technology.

You have 20-30 million illegal aliens in the US, and fewer than 300K are picking crops. Do the math. Deport.

Oh but the big farm companies are so automated they need few hands on workers.

What's one to believe. Ask the small farmer how the big companies hurt them.

These are the stories before all immigrants arrived.

Suddenly there's going to be no one to grow our food.

How much 🐂💩 do they want us to believe.
@Gibbon You bring up a real issue with big ag destroying the family farming industry. The media won't discuss that.
