- What will US farmers do without immigrants?
Farming uses a higher number of undocumented workers than any other US industry, and that's sparking concern about what will happen if the Trump administration presses ahead with its immigration policies.
Al Jazeera's Andy Gallacher reports from Clanton, Alabama.

The haters who have said "foreign workers are taking our unskilled jobs"... well, here are your jobs back, now work them lol
You have a good point there.
Statue Of Liberty is a immigrat
👌🏽
Undocumented that get cash you are right. Phoney SS you paid everything unless you put 10 dependents do not paid Federal and State. So phoney SS they pay Social Security /unemployment ins/Medicare
WALMART? FOR FAR EASIER JOB EVER..MY DOG COULD WORK AT WALMART...UNSKILLED JOBS..???
I worked the fields for years. It is hard, hard work. And every year I was the only white person that finished the season.
True, I've seen only some white do the work cus they need money too. At least your motivated to make that honest dollar. Some whites will rather beg for change or get government aid. Some whites still believe that hard work pays off and don't need help from big brother.
Thank you for your kindness both of you. But it makes me sad also because of the lack of a work ethic by some.
@@edieking5767 The Trump Adminstration wants to lower the pay rate in the agricultural industry. Why don't they slash all the bureaucrats wages?
Amazing, I admire your work ethic.
dam respect bro
It never ceases to amaze me when people vote against their own interests and vote for party rather than good ideas
i agree !
Florida didn't learn anything 😂
@@irvingdelgado1731 Well we've learned NEVER to vote for DeSantis again.
Don't get mad now, you voted for the man.
Thank you!
Americans are always voting one way and talking the other. When will our minds be on the same page as our votes?
@@USA50_ it's hard to say. The US government indoctrinates people at a very young age and the media too.
Wimmin!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
They are the problem solvers for today's messed up ideals
Wait, I don't understand. All I hear on the news is from the people that complain that immigrants are taking their jobs...so since the immigrants left that should of left plenty of jobs for the ones complaining. Why is his farm without workers. Surely, he has plenty of out of work people to help him right?
I'm confused..
Erick Maltos yes thank you sir were .theirs thousands of illegals already were deported now theirs open jobs so winning people go look for them jobs should be available
Erick Maltos illegals doing farming get paid way more than an American worker would as they return to Mexico with the American dollars where it is worth much much more then what they could make in Mexico.
If minimum-wage in Canada was $25 an hour you better believe a lot of Americans would be illegally crossing the border making that money and bringing it back home just as the Mexicans do with America
Erick Maltos it's complicated but I will try to make simple for you. There is two sides of the coin : so there is bunch of jobs that nobody else want to do, except the immigrants and we really want and need them there. On other side - once the immigrants assimilated and learn the language they find a better job, which wasn't a big deal until it started to happen on a really large scale
I was being sarcastic. I come a family of immigrants who worked in the fields. My point was I keep hearing white people complaining about losing jobs to immigrants and I know it is not the case. I have worked in the fields and I know it is not a job that people want to do. I find it amusing that people complain when they know they don't want to the jobs. They complain because it makes them feel better and gives them an excuse..
Bob M its like around 20 pesos for 1 dollar so a bag of chips worth 2$ is like around 30 - 40 in mexico. not worth more u just pay with a smaller wallet
I would love to see a bus full of American workers coming to work in the fields at 8am. Most would quit and go home by 10.
The money isn’t worth it bro, open your eyes
$150-300 a day??? Not worth it??? People just dont want to work. In these jobs, the more you do, the more you get paid
Correction, 6am. Start as soon as you can see. The earlier the better.
8? Field work starts at 5 or 6 and ends at 3 to 4 pm
@@alanmoreno7876 It pays well I suppose. But once the heat hit your neck at 90 degree or more. You definitely do not want to come back the next day unless you don’t have a choice. There plenty of job out there that may not pays 150$ per day but it way easier than this.
A nation:
built by immigrants.
sustained & fed by immigrants.
A nation that uses immigrants for it's political whims.
A nation whose identity and origin is immigrants CANNOT survive without immigrants!
Farming under the blazing sun or in the bitting cold is an almost impossible challenge for those who are accustomed to fast-food and spend hours watching television.
It's one thing to watch the super games. And other, to be training, training & bleeding sweat.
The same, eating a nice Sunday meal with potatoes, tomatoes and all farmed picked vegetables that to be surrounded(picking) with all this food on a farm!
I respect the fact that every country has the right to make and enforce its national polices in favor of its citizens.
However, no one should give a blind-eye to the valuable contributions of the immigrant population.
Once, there were black slaves, Slavery. No one 'kicked up dust' that they were immigrants(from the Africa).
Now, it's paid Latin slaves are immigrants.
Slavery and Immigration.
Ian Casey well saying man. I respect you. God bless
Amen
And yet immigration drives the wages down for us workers because plutocrats hikes them for slavery wages. Immigration didn’t build this country workers did. As the son of immigrants I respect that and understand that.
@@achinthmurali5207 Your name tells me you are an inmigrant. You complain about wages. Fact is high wages are the reason for US Companies relocating to other countries. Lazy americans won't harvest tomatoes at $15.00. I'm sure ilegals inmigrants make more $$ than professionals in your ex country. Go back help your real country grow. Better, go harvest 🍅 and STFU.
@@peterpaul6725 That is very disgusting, disrespectful thing to say. He may or may not be an immigrant, but he clearly has better manners then you. So you STFU and learn some respect!
So they VOTED for their financial demise and now they want me to CARE ...... let me get back to you on that one. Smh
Here's to making America great again.. Y'all didn't think there will be consequences did you?
that guys farm is small, his family could pick that in a week, they lazy
They did not think beyond maga.
funny how the leftist liberal ELITES saw it, WARNED that it would happen, tried to tell 'em DJ Trump was for big corporation!!! - But you know, Fox news told them it was FAKE NEWS! Build DAT WALL!!!! And Bannon told them the Lame Stream media was the ENEMY of the People! They all should just sit back, drink their lemonade and enjoy their MAGA moment in the sun...
Farmers have to pay fair wages now...we're happy
what consequences could possibly overshadow ridding ourselves of illegal aliens?i cant think of any.
😂😂😂 hard labor That's the jobs you wanted to take
Chip & hammer, plastering, roofing, tile, plumbing, demolition... Those are all hard labor jobs too. I don't know who you mean be "you" but yes their are many people who NEED NOT WANT those jobs & are working in them as we speak.
Serve yourselves
everardo Morales Those immigrants have no choice. A Mexican who actually speaks English wouldn't work on those fields . They can't work anywhere else because they usually have to know English in the civil world. So slow down and end the excitement and think logically.
He was about to say " their bodies are way to soft to get this done "
@@notpreacher1564 yes of course!!!. But still, I think he'd prefer someone who's ready and well adapted to do the job. that all.
Why is aljazira the only one covering this reality? I have never heard this story on any US mainstream media.
National news are usually manipulated
The Associated press did a segment on it 9 years ago.
Fox isn't going to say that being hard on immigration has negative effects. MSNBC and CNN were more concerned with bashing Trump, this had nothing to do with Trump directly. So they don't feel like covering it.
Al Jazeera is MSM. To put it in words conspiracy theorists understand "follow the money". It's American owned 😂
Aljazera is the CNN of the other half of the world.... I like it!!!
In the 70's, I traveled around the country and Canada mostly the Northwest. I worked side by side with these migrant farm workers. The days were long and the work was backbreaking. These gracious people out worked me ten to one. They got paid half of what I did and did double the work. I quit a few farms because if this unfair practice. These beautiful people busted their butts and sent most of their small earnings back home to help support their families. In spite of all that, they gave unselfishly to me of their food when I had little to none and of their warm blankets and firewood on the cold September nights to help keep me warm. I never asked they just knew. Like angles one by one they would softly approach me and lay their blankets upon me and some wood on my small fire and a plate of food to wake up to. I will never forget their heart warming love and I swore right there all those years ago I would always pay it forward and so I have and still do. This is what makes not only America great, but the whole of humanity. We are eachother,like it or not. Great good is in front of us when we are open to receive and give and have compassion for eachother. It's the lack of the willingness to understand that separates us from eachother and closes the heart. Whatever happens, keep the heart open...
Love is the way home!
Thank You for your Love and Respect.These people have earned their place in the United States.
Put Melania and Ivanna to work a little bit picking up some of the vegies they eat every day -- they are both immigrants.

I would love to see big fat Americans out in the fields picking the harvest in the searing heat,they wouldn't last one day
You reap what you sow. Literally!
Yeah but you can't be mad you voted for Trump
farmers wont pay a fair wage and its seasonal, like maybe 1-2months WITH NO BENEFITS
@@gregoryeverson741 I don't want to work...MAGA

Haha congratulations America! you played yourself
@No Comps what do you mean?
Yes, forcing farmers to pay fair wages to citizens is sooo stupid
Americans didn't play themselves the rich played themselves!!
@@ericanthony402 because if they do that business will fail . lol
think about it man, if they pay more on wages, the groceries pay more to buy and so the consumer pays more at the cashier. People cant think beyond their racism and hate of others to see it.
@@ericanthony402 sorry bro I am late to this thread but who is saying we farmers never paid fair wages. This is a falsehood spread by lazy people. If you want a job I got one for you but you get paid for the work not the hours .. every row u walk or bin full of melons you produce you get paid .. it is lazy people who want to make a guaranteed wage and do the minimum work .. my guys work on visas they pay taxes and make enough so they dont have to work when they go home .. they for the most part live in gated communities in Mexico witch help keep there families safe while they are gone .. when they are here they work 16hr days making as much as possible and helping assure our harvest is in on time .. every American I have worked with has quite.. it's just to much they say .. but cool if u wanna pay 10 15 dollars for a watermelon then sure let me hire some entitled worker who's thoughts are worth more than his work
To all those who have forgotten that their ancestors were migrants not long ago, shame on you. " Period "
I remember going to FL many years ago for a 3-month stay in winter. Migrant workers started there, worked their way north picking fruits, vegetables, etc., as they ripened. Ended up in Mich. for the apple, cherry harvest! They are hard workers and certainly underpaid! How many young men, women have applied for these jobs!!???
I've seen whites picking along side us mexicans and Filipinos. The problem is that they will want to get paid more for being an american Citizen. Some of the whites here work the fields cus they have bills and rent to pay like the rest of us.
Also more workers come the companies will reduce profits Ii think the problem is with capatalism if companies could gain more workers cheaply why would they pay higher wages
It doesn't matter to me if migrant Mexican and Central American people work on farms, in construction, or retail. As long as they're good people, I think our culture benefits from them being here. They're all welcome, in my book! God bless them for their hard work and aspiring to have a better life!

Mexicans have always been here!
We have a large Mexican population where I live. They are paid a Fair Wage and are treated respectfully. There is room for advancement and they have benefits. They are NOT illegals. They work year round. They are not migrants.
I would like to know what these farmers pay.. if they offer health insurance and benefits. They are upset because they are losing desperate illegals willing to work below minimum wage. We aren't stupid.
I highly doubt Mexican with papers will be working the fields. We do that only when we dont have another choice
@@mty5 They work in Florida in Palm groves. It is our number one export where I live.
They have a little section on the island where they live and my friend manages their space. She has to do their paperwork.
I know about what I'm speaking.
I would have no reason to lie. They are highly respected where I live because they have carried on a family tradition. Their fathers have also worked.
I saw a video on this topic talking about wages for migrants on the farms. One farmer said he doesn't pay hourly but for each box filled with a certain product( oranges, tomatoes, etc) the worker would get 1$. Yeah, some workers get paid legit nothing for extreme manual labor. But at the same time, the farmers have to give out low wages since they ain't getting sheet to profit themselves and the big food companies like Tyson, Nestle, etc run the whole joint and force farmers into huge debt traps and they also control the market. So I understand why they want to have low-wage workers especially in Cali where housing costs and taxes are high.
@@minidonut827 I understand that. The difference is that our grove workers aren't migrants.
They have been here generation after generation. I see them daily in their trucks and bikes going to work. I always wave at them.
@@TrudyPatootie I did not know we were talking about the grove workers. Your first paragraph didn't seem to relate to the second paragraph. I was responding to your second paragraph. I thought this was about illegal immigrants and low wages. If you're implying that the illegal immigrants can be just like the grove workers, then in general the illegals just don't know how to advance up the ranks since they probably are getting more cash working in the U.S than back in their home country, they are more likely to be scared to ask for a raise since they might be fired on the spot. Since they don't have those benefits of a regular U.S citizen.
“Their bodies weren’t built for this” sounds like slavery to me..
not if they are being paid.
stop with the victim complex.....
Your just mad Mexicans will always be harder works 😂❄️
Slavery??? Ok so the crops are going to pick themselves huh?
It’s called Farm work, dear.
Tough indeed.
first of all no one's forcing no one to work on the field, second of all the workers do get paid with fair money. so you're just making excuses.
I think what he’s trying to say is that most Americans aren’t used to working that way.. I mean HARD work under the sun for hours and hours. Had nothing to do w slavery IMO.
I taught lots of migrant kids when their parents came to our community to pick produce. Always some of the best kids I taught. Tough as nails and their parents supported us.
Bottom line I'm thankful for this people doing this hard jobs so I don't have to be doing them!
He doesn't need to be in good shape to work on field you need someone to really love their family to support
Edgar Saucedo go then work for minimun wage. under de sun. every year for months.
Edgar Saucedo you need lots of minerals , especially sodium and potassium, and water, to survive in sun working in fields, or your body will get too hot and organs start to get cooked, literally. The blood vessels usually burst open. That is why it is called "heat stroke". So, nutrition, a diet with little or no sugar, is very important. Many people need sea salt tablets and potassium gluconate tablets to make it.
@@patphatkitten my Mexican uncle after working 10 hour shifts in the sun he just gets a smoothie and a hot dog at a quick trip. He’s been doin this labor jobs for decades now.
@@kevinyak61 wow, yeah. I know some people can do that kind of work, especially if they eat whole foods for breakfast and dinner. Family is a great motivator, but without high levels of minerals and water , stored in the body, I don't see how anyone could do it, even with a great love of family. Your uncle is in better shape than most Americans.
It's not a shape it's simple lazy 😂
Keep voting for trump, you fools.
At this point Trump voters are in an abuse relationship w/him.
We will
We the People Are not fools. And don't worry You losers yes we will be voting for our President Trump Again.
L O S E R S, OH I MEAN DEMOCRATS.
This is what happens when they voted Trump in not realizing what they are losing... Alabama way to go!
American Workers: Late, Lazy, Lack of skills, Lack of Motivation, Like to complain, Long Breaks. Immigrants if you are ever allowed back to work for these farmers, charge them triple and demand medical and dental plus bonus and paid holidays because you deserve it.
Well said
Agreed! Reality check
Did you thought the same way ,while begging for US visa? Or you too ILLEGAL, uh yes
Tariq Khan What in the world are you talking about? Why in the world would immigrants not be able to get those benefits? I have good news for you, legal immigrant has all those rights just like any citizen. Now, as far as your bigotry... Why would nationality & if you're an immigrants define your work ethic & benefits?
mickey mike that's why we r working at farms and u r not so I think u should be quite
Let Trumps office workers do the farming.
Rey Pascual let Trump manually plow the soil since we’re paying him to do the service

Jajaja haha
Truthfully, when I was a boy everyone went & work in the fields at harvest time. That was the reason for summer vacation in school. The white peoples, the black, Mexicanos como yo, like me. We all worked together. The white people could work very hard, I remember my grandfather from Mexico always remarking how gringos worked harder than everybody else. Now a days it's about conditioning. People live in air condition go to school & work in air condition, no one is comfortable anymore outside. Not whites, not blacks not even Mexican Americans. So we bring immigrants in that are used to it. It's that simple. The pay is low, if they pay more the price of food would be to high, no one would buy it. We need each other. God made us to work together not to fight each other. Everyone likes to point out about white prejudice but I see it also in my people as well as the blacks. We are all the same. As Jesus said ' why do you tell your brother come that I may remove the speck in your eye. Hypocrite! Remove the spec from
Your own eye then you will see clear enough'. We need to work together to keep this a wonderful nation. That is why the Middle East is a mess, the people there never can forgive each other of sins of their forefathers. They constantly war. Let us show the world what America always has been. A place where people who are different can cooperate & work together to accomplish goals no one before dared even dream of. We are a great nation because we worked together & tolerated each other. Let us continue to do so
Not build for it. Is called laziness.
I tried Working on a farm once..... Nearly got a heat stroke
Grizz Cmt Now you’ve experienced it before, immigrants whether legal or illegal will add to country’s economical success.

Let's face it, no average american is going to spending their life in the fields picking up fruit and vegetables for a living below minimum wage. Those are menial jobs that are suited for desperate migrant workers and it's the reason why our food is relatively cheap. We start forcing farmers to hire Americans and we start getting 10 dollar per pound food items because these new workers are going to demand benefits and higher pay.
In California they'll pay you 20 bucks a hour to pick grape's in Napa valley. Same in the Carolinas. Not bad for a low skilled job
that is not true. that is a fu**ing lie. my relatives pick grapes in the san joaquin valley and I translated to them, what you wrote, and they are asking what farm are you talking about, so they can an apply. you must be one of those that say my jespanol no es muy Bueno. you came to the U.S. as Jaime but you call yourself james......
James Alvarado that's minimum wage compared to the cost of living in Napa
Peter Miller different cost of living if you need me to explain you don't deserve an explanation

What will US farmers do without immigrants? Pay a decent wage.
they rather fail, than do that
NOPE, there's no profit in that.
the price of the food would have to go wayyyy up.
Bug Nobody
White immigrants?
The price of food would be astronomical. Immigrants are currently making $10-14 per hour.
My girl cousins and their friends (high school ages) spent their summer vacations ,traveling from Florida to the New England States to pick apples, vegetables, in the 50's, 60's. Even though their families could afford college tuition. Many kids, here in Arizona, worked the fields picking strawberries..members of the Key Club etc...A lot of Americans don't realize the number of OUR Children work to help pay their way and others volunteer..even going to other countries to build houses etc.
"Thier bodies weren't built for it" hahhahahah. Wtf. When you have no other option you make your body do what it needs to do.
I find it sad that so many people had to leave and leave the farmers without help. Hopefully the powers that be learned a lesson from this. Yes undocumented workers are illegal, but so is corruption and bribery that goes on without a word.
the illegals created that black market.
@@razorburns8651 Supply and demand did.
Americans don't want to pay $5 for a tomato so EMPLOYERS (farmers) abuse the supply(illegal immigrants) of the cheapest workers available.
The powers that be never learn anything because it doesn't effect them in anyway, sure they'll come out and agree with you that something needs to be done, but ultimately they won't because they don't care because it doesn't effect them.
These farmers voted to not have skilled or capable workers. Why would you feel bad for them. They're self made business owners.. right? Bootstraps n all
@@kathrynw3 Opinions regarding political leaders is always up for debate, but, in my opinion, you are correct. Clearly stated, well said. If it does not affect them, they will bend over backwards to appease the public, but in the end, they take their marching orders from their benefactors.
It's not their bodies are not "built for it" it's just that their need is not that great. As a Mexican American, I don't work the fields but I have 2 jobs. I learned from my parents to work hard for what I want and not ask for handouts. I am a project management assistant for a construction company during the day and a warehouse associate during at night. It gets very difficult, but nothing good comes easy and I'm gonna work hard to accomplish my goals for as long as the Lord allows me to.

Erika Erikson Erika Erikson Yet you had to edit your comment. You’re probably the CEO of the homeless click that live in the Walmart parking lots.😂
The guys hurt are the ones hiring illegals... Nobody ever said legal immigrants. Get it straight.
So why were they hiring undocumented workers in the first place?! “Their bodies were not built for ir it?!” Isn’t that kind of racist? Pay and follow the law to hire foreign workers like Canada does. Many farm workers come from the Caribbean to work every year to earn a living. These farmers are cheap and unfair. They want workers that they only have to pay a paltry sum and provide inadequate food and shelter for. They are running their workers like animals so that’s why the Americans won’t stay. They can do that to undocumented people because they are open to exploitation.
oh well! That's what y'all voted for....trump.

"what will farmers do without slaves?"
Time for the farmers to roll up there sleeves and start harvesting there own produce or pay a decent wage with benifits. The work is hard, long hour's. And stop trying to make Americans feel sorry for you, work your farms and stop crying or find some other way to make a living, your not cut out to be a farmer.
As long as your willing to pay for the price of the produce. I doubt you would tho.
As long as you don't charge an outrageous price for thre product because of your greed. If you would pay a decent wage then we could be able to afford what ever I would like and not forced to buy what you want me to buy with my hard earned money.
leanard flow
White people are not americans!
Food is actually too cheap. We waste about 50%
Imagine all that food being dumped into land fills after the due date.
We also over produce that's why, its hard to get a good price.
People pay over ten times the price in a restaurant and think nothing of it.@@lintfreecloth
amazing how your logic doesn’t equate the cost sharing that would apply if you truly think better pay will help, not so, Americans want and need affordable goods.. its all intermingled and again small business pays the prize, its called bankruptcy..
hahahaha get what you vote for hahahahahahaha.
its called self deportation. And they should not have come to the us in the first place if they dont have a green card. Ofc the farmers would suffer but that is what happens when you hire and shelter illigals

Stop hoarding lands and crops. Work the fields yourselves. Trade your goods. Be fair and share.
I grew up on a tiny farm. My dad worked as a welder. We worked together as a family to plant and gather food. Then store it for the winter. We also had cows. Neighbors and extended family would also pitch in to help each other.
Farmer can do the work and pay a fair wage if they need extra help.
sometimes farmers pay 14 dollars an hour in my state the minimum wage is 12 dollars. ive never seen a white person work a day in the fields. they pay like 13 dollars in McDonald's and ive seen alot of white people work there.
@@youtubeaficionado2768 I've seen white boys working with mexicans and Filipinos. The problem is that not all Americans want to work hard especially if it's in the hot or cold seasons. Some are need to pay bills and rent just like us.

Why only mention Farming. Because the argument is weak! What about Landscaping, Mechanical, Industrial, Construction, basically every labor industry in the country. A person has to be very naive to think that the average person benefits from immigration. Only the Owner class benefits, and more recently the Democrats wanting voters.
its sorta well known that mexicans do a better quality and more reliable job in those jobs.

Professional painting used to pay $30 an hour. Now that immigrants have moved in, wages have dropped to $14 an hour. You can't make a living on $14 an hour. Don't think these painters are good. They are terrible. They painted a house where I can see the walls unevenly coated. The side look like ripples in a dirty pond. The house was also never pressure washed nor primed, which will result in the coat lasting 3 years instead of the normal 10. Homeowners are getting what they've paid for.
Mary Lamb your are not forced to pay $14 an hour. Pay the $30 and get athe Job well done.
Hey trump pay a lot less so don't blame other people this is going on for a long time so stop been so hypocrite
You get what you pay for 👍 should have hired white people.. Mexicans work fast aka cheap.
For a min I was concerned about the increased immigration announced but then I got pragmatic about how there are a huge amount of unfilled jobs and I realize now that if we don’t fall apart as a nation it will be by the grace of migrants that want to work.
If we didn’t have immigrants tamatos would be $6 a pound and a Avacados would be $4 a piece. Every Walmart prices on food would skyrocket to the amount we’ve never seen befor in America. The reason our food is good price and in abundance is because of these workers, who work for less than minimum wage in hot field conditions.
millions of welfare people in good health need to work
yes have you seen the line up of mexicans waiting for a hand out?
@@marizensoul8410 no but i've seen plenty of white people begging on the side of freeways
@@marizensoul8410 70% of illegals are on welfare
@@ericanthony402 and 99% of illigals have jobs..see we can all make up fake stats
@@ruleten9575 and white people are racist..good job gary 👏
Maybe the jails can let NON violent persons pay off there damages an court cost thru farming the land pls money on their books❣
And I'm sure you were paying them no more than 10.00 how sad...
They cost them billions!! Meaning. Those workers make them billions!!
the farmers should never had access to low-wage illegal immigrants in the first place. it was like having free cocaine, and then you're hooked. you do it like generations of Europeans have done it -- have more kids who'll help out or you start hiring teens and young people. and if you can't pay them a living wage, then obviously your farm isn't being managed right, and you need to go out of business and find another job you're good at.
wakeupscreaming lol so many wholes in your argument 😂
read a book on economics that should be interesting or maybe history considering instances such as the brasero program or Reagan's pardon. Also there are a bunch of subsidies for agriculture, you cant just pick and choose facts, this is issue is far more complicated than what most people think...
Your comment makes no sense.
Are you just angry I made it, and got 5 thumbs up, and you have none? Jealous?
It's called market economics. You obviously have no understanding of it.
The market is unforgiving. If you can't provide living wages to your employees, you aren't doing something right. Either charge more, or you have to manage better.
If I opened up a taco stand, and I paid my employees 10 cents an hour because I had easy access to illegal labor and I was able to turn a profit, and then the government puts an end to that illegal labor, then that's my problem if my business can't survive when I have to pay employees a living wage or the minimum wage. That is not the governments problem. And I shouldn't whine like a baby I want my cheap illegal immigrant labor back.
wakeupscreaming ......why would I be jelous about likes on youtube... either way what Im saying is that your vomment only takes into consideration one aspect sadly that one aspect do not hold... your view is pretty simplistic, again, Im not trying to attack you. Im just saying that economics are not as simple... there are subsidies, historical trends, social impact, market traditions, etc. Once again do not take this the wrong way juat trying to say that we also need to take into consideration a broad perspective...
Wakeupscreaming farmers should go out of business if you could survive on eating rats fish flowers rosches bugs ect...ect...
This is what happens when government is put in charge of anything. Instead of making it easy for foreigners from Mexico to obtain a work permit, they make it almost unobtainable. Throw out the old system and create a new system with much of the input from the people who need these workers.
Trumps the one that came up with the severe limitations on temp workers
Teenagers use to do summer work when I was younger. It says people showed up to work and have a learning curve.
Well the jobs that were claimed as stolen are available but aren’t being filled by the same people complaining
When u wannna work ... and mean it
You can do anything
No matter where u from.
Who wants to work
You know we have immigrant works on a lot of farms here in Canada. We pay them a fair wage and same entitlements any Canadian seasonal worker would receive. This includes Money going into the government pension plans and health care. You give those immigrants working on the farms in the US temporary status, pay a fair wage and basically treat them like human beings instead of like livestock.
They will pay a livable wage and quit cheating their employees.
so if this was uploaded in 2017 and the law was passed 6 years earlier...............what exactly does it have to do with Trump?
Alabama thats where i live! We have tons of latinos that work in my parent's farms. We pay them good!
Bring slavrery back. It's what they really want
To answer the question,,what will farmers do without the immigrants,,hey here is a thought. Pay a decent wage,,guess what,,your problems will disappear
Pretty much sums it up
These workers are needed. They in turn need to work to earn a living. The farmers need dependable efficient labor force. Disrupt that connection, everyone loses including the cosumers.
simple pay Americaa fair wage
jason valenzuela lol yea and increase the price on food too.
lol thanks actually if you look at the trend from 1970s prices of commodities went up while wages stayed stagnant (stagflation) wages were never adjusted to inflation because the country is fixed on monetary policy instead of fiscal policy (meaning the government tries to keep things cheap and pander to corporations instead of focusing on decreasing unemployment)
jason valenzuela excuse me, stagflation is when there is no economic growth and inflation in the currency
Why should a company pay 10 times the cost to manufacture a product, when it can be done better by immigrants, or done abroad for a fraction of the cost. It is only good business sense.
Majority of Americans don't want to perform these types of jobs. Most won't want to perform manual labor plain and simple. America's economy is built around illegal immigration.
😂😂 not built for it . It's the low wage and people complain it's hard work. Most ain't willing to work hard same situation here in the UK
I grew up doing all this so I wouldn't have a problem but most of my generation 20-30 grew up on the sofa. While I spent my weekends and summer vacations in a tomato field all day long while the other kids spent it either on the couch playing video games, watching tv or maybe going outside for an hour or two to play. This is a physical skill that takes time for the body to develop. Also most people who didn't grow up in the dirt were to try this type of work they would either give up and say it's stupid or just plain out think its beneath them.
This old man saying that Americans bodies are not built for this kind of jobs is totally mediocre excuse. It's just laziness
Then get out and do the work yourselves. Hire citizen's.
Keep voting for your favor guy..🤥🤥🤥
An immigrant is not an "illegal alien".
An immigrant petitions the host nation for permission to enter, reside, and seek employment within the borders of the host nation.
A Visa, a ballpoint pen, and approval = no problems.
It is the non-citizen foreign national who must meet the requirements, qualifications, and standards set forth by the host nation… not Vis Versa.
You are to knock on someone's door and ask their approval and permission to enter their home and dwelling. If they say no … then you do not enter.
It is that simple.
Immigration is a special privilege granted by the host, it is not a human right.
PERIOD
Find out they aren't a self made successful business? Just like any other industry who distains its workers enough to have no workers. This is what these farmers keep voting for in rural America. Go pick and process by your self.
"In the 6 years this laws been in place "
While they BLAME TRUMP? LOLOLOL WTF
The farmers can thank themselves and republicans if they voted for trump. Haha everyone starved to death what a great America.
get a life dear
So why do they have laws on immigrants but not on the company who are using the immigrants
They made a bed then they are afraid to lay in it. They knew what was Trump's mission. Cmon do it for urself and don't complain👍👍👍
It is time to prepare for the future and either automate or diversify.
lets say the entire usa was automated... no workers needed. should we give the non working people free money? i like the idea.
$ 4.00 in hour
"Once the Mexicans left nobody wanted to work for us idk why tho"
$4.00 an hour
Real farmers have every intention of getting real people to do actual work
Hire an American! BS You pay them fair wages American will work.
I did this when I was a teen it hard work
Rick smith yeah 😂
Same, thinking of going back to those 12 hour shifts to train me physically for the Infantry Army.
Well those farmers need to pay a lot more for that kinda job, it is hard work after all and if they pay more and at least a fair amount I'm sure they won't be having problems finding legal and American workers, but they are cheap and love the cheap labor
So mexicans are so stupid they love to work for peanuts, here i was thinking they were doing it because they knew if they got a real job they would be deported, guess i gave them too much credit for having at least that much intellect.
the amount of crops a farmer can produce is regulated by the government.........the farmers are not the bad guys here.
Americans are too soft and entitled. They'll never go for these jobs.
Take rrrr jobs. They gave them back to you and your businesses are going under. That's what happens when you let your hatred decide over critical thinking.
Immigrants have always been vital to America’s economic strength….it’s sad that one leader put his needs ahead of his country’s needs.
