“We’re looking at doing something where in the case of good, reputable farmers, they can take responsibility for the people that they hire, and let them have responsibility, because we can’t put the farms out of business, and at the same time, we don’t want to hurt people that aren’t criminals,” Trump told reporters.
Sounds a lot like slavery to me
Yep. Keep them as slaves. Or very close to it. It’s so obvious. Due to everything that’s happening the immigrants will be in fear and desperation. They’ll work for below minimum wage in horrid conditions and be too afraid to do anything about it.
I mean, I only worked one season with migrant laborers, so you may have more experience…
But a lot just aren’t gonna come here this season. They don’t need us, at least not as much as we need them. If anything I’d expect all this shit to drive up their wages.
Quick edit:
There’s a misconception farm work is “unskilled”, it’s not. So the vets stay out and we get less experienced workers who do the job slower, and for a higher hourly to deal with the risk and uncertainty.
So both per hour wages and amount of hours needed are gonna go up.
Shits still going to become substantially more expensive.
