- Some farmers in Florida say they're concerned that a recent immigration law signed by Governor Ron DeSantis could lead to a shortage of workers doing the kind of jobs that few Americans actually want.

Can't feel bad for those who vote against their best interest. They are getting, exactly, what they want.
To all those people saying "They are taking our jobs!" What, jobs that you want, have they taken?!?
Agree with you 1000% percent
Exactly! They don’t care about whether that statement is true which it isn’t, they are regurgitating decades old racism to justify treating other human beings like crap. That’s all this country has ever been about.
The next time all those people who state Immigrants are taking American Jobs, I would like someone to counter this ridiculous lie!
I thank these migrant workers for doing these jobs.
Democrat voters want our children to be taught to hate the color of their own skin in school. Democrats want to confuse children about their sexuality, teach them perverted sex acts and mutilate their sex organs in horrific sex change operations. Democrats want Biden to send hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine for endless war and to pay the Ukrainian people's pensions while millions of Americans are homeless and hungry. Democrats are glad Biden hired 87,000 new IRS agents to persecute American families now struggling under Biden's crushing 100% inflation. Democrats want tens of millions of the world's criminals and poor emptied from prisons into America, destroying the economy, culture and way of life. People who support Biden think they will "build back better" with communism, but they will only succeed in bankrupting America and promoting war, suffering, and death. Those who voted for Biden deserve to have their country destroyed which they actually want. They don't deserve the freedom their fathers and grandfathers fought and died for so it will be taken from them and they will be enslaved and impoverished in the land of their birth.
@Scott Goode Did u even hear the full video. Their incomes are taxed and they pay sales tax for what they buy, property taxes (indirectly for where they live).
This freaking video brought tears to my eyes…these people came here to avoid joining the cartels (that could actually put a lot more money in their pockets) farmer says “they don’t come here to play obviously”…neither to sell drugs, steal, cheat. I really hope all ilegal immigrants could leave the state so “these people” could experience how STOOPID them and their laws are.
Supporting a labor market that is illegal means that guest workers and other workers cannot ever get a fair wage because they’re importing workers who will work for four dollars an hour. If we eliminated the labor trafficking, that corporations and farmers are doing now, we could have guest migrant workers, making at least a minimum wage, and paying into taxes at the same time. People need to understand what Cesar Chavez was trying to do for farmworkers. He was against importing illegal, immigrant, because it under cut all of the farm workers in the area.
Problem is, these workers make up a small percentage of those crossing the border. Yes, some have good intentions. What about the other 90% coming from 126 different countries?
That’s how all conservatives believe
We did our turn for 400 years…without pay! Thank you every worker out there harvesting our food for us. I greatly appreciate you.
I appreciate you seeing exactly what this is, modern day slavery. Shame on everyone.
I thank you for your comment, but don't expect many to agree with you on this because when it's brought up you get crickets.
Lol you didn't do anything it was the people of the past your ancestors if you had any being slaves in America
Modern slavery 🤔 just calling it what it is... Good enough to work in your farms but not good enough to live in the USA. Hypocrisy at its best
So how does it feel for 400 years without pay you were once the 2nd largest voting group. Now you are 3rd after Hispanics that hopped over the border and benefit from affirmative action that was put in place for the 400 years without pay.
Them 2 fools voted themselves right out of business
Republicans always do stuff like that and then still have the nerve to mad about it.
Same with EPA. They voted for trumpo to lower EPA regs and suddenly these southern yokels got their rivers and streams polluted and couldn't figure out why.
BINGO!!!! 100% I have No doubt
@@ginafoster990or maybe they just need to pay more
Round of applause for them, shall we??
👏👏👏👏👏👏
They don’t care about the workers. It’s literally the only way they can have a business/farm and be profitable.
I was thinking the same thing, what happens if one of them gets hurt ? I would have asked the farmer how many hours do they work a day ? Do they get lunch ? Do they get two 15 minute breaks a day ?
Which is why Americans aren't going for it
That's industrial farming for ya. They don't care about the workers health nor the consumer. All about the profit. Buy from small local farms and support a healthier life for both.
@@raymondhoule6108 How do you propose hobby & small farms manage to support entire communities or replace commercial farming?
Well, what do you suggest hiring American workers? They can complain about how much they make and how hard to work don’t complain when you start paying ridiculous prices for whatever Florida used to produce where is all the Republicans are sitting there complaining about migrants they should be the first wants to be put on that field. Just the majority of my sitting at home collecting welfare disability with no disabilities.
I worked for a peach orchard in the early 90’s when I was in high school. The owners would take a truck down to Mexico, to a specific community, and return with a bus full of workers for his farm. He then had a tent city behind the orchard where they resided for the summer. When the summer was over, the Mexican workers would return back to the town via the same bus. During the rest of the year, the orchard owner and other members of the church he belonged to would return to Mexico several times during the year to bring them donations and items the community needed. I always felt it was a symbiotic relationship. And as someone who worked there and made decent money before returning to college where I got paid $3.25 an hour, I can practically guarantee that their money went even further back in Mexico
What! No! Who could have seen this happen?
They're upset because they got what they voted for. You can't make it up.
Let deSatanist and his burly crew from the Villages that want the anti imagrant laws pick the fruit and veggies I'm sure they will do just fine LoL😂
It won’t affect me they say, until it does.
And they gonna vote for it again. Tax cuts for the rich... Yeah Trump is fighting for US 🇺🇸📯🎶
But nowadays voting Liberal means you're pro-war...
Upset about what? We don't want illegals. Come work here legally then you're fine. How hard is that for you to understand? Everyone on that farm was legally allowed to work
Everyone speaks on working hard but not teaching the next man. Love it.
I'm really amazed in this day and age where most people have access to internet, they won't go to local, state or federal website's to see how their elected officials vote on issues that impact their lives and paycheck for years to come.
But they'll damn sure get on FB and believe or pass on misinformed BS all day long.
They’re Conservative but run their businesses using Progressive programs. That’s American politics in a nutshell. Vote for your racial interests, although their are far more important interests to consider.
This 💯💯

This conservative also gets government subsidies lol. Most Cuckservatives bitch about handouts and shit and here they are. Farms are specially heavily subsidized by the govt
Racial issues?

That’s normal American behavior. Use you and dump you.
@@crazysquirrel9425 are u needed?
@@crazysquirrel9425 dehumanizing
Back in the 90's on my farm I was hiring young locals who figured merely by showing up they deserved their pay, so I decided to give a local labour contractor a try. The first day the bus rolled up with about 50 workers and not one was under 65. Despite that subsequently I only used the contractor. Those senior citizens, although costing more per hour (contractors markup) were cheaper because they worked harder. I had to demand they take coffee breaks since they'd prefer to work through to pick up an extra 30 minutes (2X15 minute breaks ) of pay. All my fields were cleaned simultaneously improving crop management, the contractor knew what he was doing so I didn't have to babysit my crew, and, I could spend my time more productivity elsewhere.
I’m sure American citizens would work there but no one is advertising the jobs in all of the communities.
“I don’t support every immigrant coming here. Just the ones that I can pay the bare minimum, greatly over work, and exploit for ridiculous financial gain”
Exactly, which are why talented south Asian scientist and doctors are giving up on their American dream as legal migration is non-existent.
Democrats fought for slavery. Why would they change and why would anyone believe them if they claimed to?
That’s exactly it. They want workers who the can pay the bare minimum
Yes. I too caught that sentiment from the admitted conservative. They can't deny the fact they disagree with this law, but they won't admit that conservatives in power to change the immigration laws aren't doing the job correctly. You can't hang on to both sides of the fence 'cause you're gonna fall off sometime sooner or later. Fix immigration, these people are hard working human beings who can help our economy here and they deserve the opportunity to a more simplified immigration.
That’s kinda the conservative position from 15-20 years ago but since trump and sessions zero tolerance it’s pretty much back to “fuck their cheap labour driving down our wages, deport if not incarcerate them and once we get our walk built then we can maybe talk about immigration reform.”
Unfortunately I bet these farmers voted for Desantis.
You know they did. Republican only comes in one IQ level and it's pretty low.
And Trump. And would do so again. And if these farmers woke up tomorrow morning and found they no longer had field workers because DeSantis had bused them to New York, they'd shake their heads and still blame the Democrats.

Plus 14 bucks an hour. This is agriculture so the farmers don't have to pay time and a half for over time. Imagine working 12-16 hours a day for straight pay. No wonder they can't get citizens to hire on.

@@John.Not-Jack.Danielsbesides the employers, Florida has cotton mouths, rattlesnakes and pythons in those fields
This is what happens when you set your prices based on foreign labor. No American citizen wants the job because it’s not a living wage. But they find someone on foreign soil who will take half the pay because in their country the money goes twice as far.

I worked in the fields as a child in South Georgia in the sixties and seventies. The labor is the hardest work I have ever done in my 63 years. It was working from sun up till sundown everyday except Sundays. I have the utmost respect for the workers, I thank them and wish them and their families well 🙏
I was a middle child so I didn’t go as often as my older siblings but when I did I kept asking when we would

Here legally are not applying for these type of jobs I met someone who came here legally thanks to his mom and sister and he is painting at home in his nice Air-conditioned room, don’t think he makes much but that’s what he would rather do.
Hope they can get a visa to work so they don’t get taken advantage of
Legal immigrants are welcome. You are not welcome by storming over the border and disregarding our laws.
All Illegals must all go back and apply for re-entry from their home country of origin.
@Aurora Lopez Well, you mentioned thanks to the Mom and sister. Where did they come from? They came first. You must be talking about the other problem of "chain migration." Another way, once one of these rats gets in, they turn around and invite the whole damn family up here. This is another program we need to end.
America has the right to pick and choose who gets in. Why do we wanna take in every poor bastard that just decides for himself he wants to live here?
We should reserve the number of visas issued that meet our national goals and preferences. Redeeming qualities are: Has education (like doctor or whatever) has own money, has own business, no criminal record, etc. We can choose the best and kick out the rest. We simply can't provide opportunities for anyone and everyone who likes our country better than the one they are from. Go home and develop your own country.

We have no shortage of immigrants. What we need is sustainable immigration through legal channels. What we have at the border is a free-for-all.

He's not wrong. Americans don't want those jobs. What I don't understand is how backward some of these conditions are . I mean that's hard work. For 14.00 dollars. They should get paid more
I work for a food bank 2 days a week. It's a lot of hard work and heavy lifting. I went out to harvest cabbages one day and after 3 hours I could hardly stand. It's grueling.
And rewarding.
Try living in a neighborhood taken over by the cartels, i mean "migrants" like mine. You won't last three hours there.
To understand the process is what’s lacking. I applaud you!
@@minervasunset do you do it for the rewards?
When I was a kid in Salem Oregon, we had lots of canneries, my grandfather owned one. There were not a lot of migrants in those days, and high school kids picked, and lots of regular people. I was about 8 or 9 and my brother was about 11. My mom would go with us sometimes. My dad thought we needed to learn how to earn money. LOL. Let me tell you, we picked strawberries..HORRIBLE!!!! Hot in the sun, no shade and we got paid by the "lug" that was a tray of 8 boxes of berries. Of course I ate some of the biggest and juiciest. We then picked pole beans. Better than strawberries. We picked everything, even the big pulpy ones that you don't eat. They were used in baby food. My grandfather packed for Gerber as one of his contracts. I liked picking Boysenberries. Dad would drop us off, including Mom if she was going and sometimes a friend and her kids too, about 8 or 9 in the morning and pick us up by 5 that night. It was a very long day. As for rewarding? Hmmmmmm, I could find something else.
I don't see anyone, kids or not, running to do those jobs. The price of your produce will not go down if it rots in the fields and it has done that over the last few years. Now we have the water from snow melt covering what used to be farmland in central California. 8.00 for a watermelon the other day and the farmers are barely making it. Less crops, crops not being picked, more money for fuel and fertilizer. People need to stop the effing culture wars, get their head out of their nether regions, and look at the REAL issues we face.
If they are H2-A visa holders, what’s the problem? They’re legally here as guest workers and have paperwork. The so called DeSantis Law mirrored the Federal Immigration Law that imposes fine on businesses hiring illegal immigrants.
Tell the farmer to pay $20 @ hour and healthcare and raise prices.

Christians with families and hard workers. Why do you think the media rarely talks with them?
They stopped talking to Venezuelans and Cubans because they were commenting how America is headed towards communism. Which these people know more about than us.
They are trying to use the resources on American elderly, vets, citizens. Crazy right!?
That's exactly it. They give us citizens an opportunity to work there first... No one took the job. That says it all.
The work may not be the problem. The lack of pay may-be the problem.
after these people get green card or citizenship, they won't want to take the job neither, they're only taking it because they are on temp work visa. What to do then?
Of course...it's a starvation wage. These migrants tont have mortgages, vehicles, or any bills at all hardly. They can afford to work for slave wages. It's not apples to apples when you compare.
Maybe they should actually pay them?
No US citizen would have had their housing and food covered like the guest workers do. What US citizen could do this job and send money to their family? None. US workers were not offered housing and food/medical like the foreign labor was. Move your family to the middle of nowhere to pick watermelons for $14/hour or live close to resources and work at Walmart for $15?
🎉😮If they would let Americans know about the jobs we would work!!!

That’s the best answer I’ve heard so far.
Oh no they might have to pay American wages now
Florida is about to learn a very expensive lesson just like Alabama did almost a decade ago. The workers deserve quality working conditions and pay and the ability to gain citizenship. Our nation needs more and more hardworking and honest people.
What happened in dirty Alabama? What a nasty ass state huh
Yup. Immigrants do it better.
Yes. Meanwhile, a dumbass liberal will get over 400 up votes thanking the _owners_ for the "opportunity," too.
This country is diseased.
Our nation could also dispose the GOP trash to become better! Starting with the Supreme Court, Congress, and the dumb portion on Social Security, yet supporting criminals like the orange monkey!
They have a way to gain citizenship. It’s call come in the right way.
The sad part is the farmers pay cheap, and sometimes rob their wages and threaten them. And so do the contractors. And the worst part is some of these contractors are latino themselves. So there should be a overseers in these guest worker programs. Just like regular jobs have worker rights.
But that would end slavery com on man we need our slave's
If they pay 25 an hour, the watermelon will be $10 per pound.
This is exactly what Cesar Chavez was talking about. Guest workers and other workers cannot ever compete with someone that’s willing to work for four dollars an hour. If people want to see, the wage is actually going up, they need to stop importing trafficked labor.
So true I highly doubt they pay them 14.00 that’s a big lie .
Pay honest wages by cutting CEO/Business Owner salaries to keep from raising prices. Problem Solved! American workers will work these jobs if they were to pay honest wages with benefits.
This is only half true. There are plenty of Americans willing to work, I'm one of them. What happens every time is they interview me, after I call a bunch, and then I never hear back from them. They duck my calls. And before you say it, I have no criminal record and great references.
This type of work is the very reason I joined the military after high school. I worked the fields in the San Joaquin Valley picking peaches, apricots, cherries and grapes as a teenager. "There's got to be a better way to make a living" is what I said to myself one day after a long hot day of intense labor. Yes, Marine Corps boot camp is actually easier than picking fruits in the hot CA sun.
The US government actually cares if you get heat stroke or heat exhaustion, your typical farm owner, not so much.

Me too. 69 yrs. old and also from San Joaquin Valley CA. In those days most of us worked the fields or canneries during and after high school. Then we took advantage of inexpensive college tuition to get a education and bought homes using low interest loans while working for companies with great union wages and benefits. As boomers we worked hard and then benefited from government programs meant to help us become solidly middle class citizens.
All gone now! Corporate hell scape everywhere sucking the life from us ALL! Cheated out of our homes while big Pharma sucks our blood for record profits. I can't speak for all boomers, but, I can't wait to die to end my misery.
Never ceases to amaze me at how people (like these farm owners) continually vote for the GOP and then cry when GOP policies hurt their livelihood in pretty much every facet of life!
Better then a party that supports communist and Marxism
I think is called ….. HYPOCRISY ….you are fine when I need you but when it comes to your needs …you are “illegal” …..
well this is a catch 22 need the immigrants to do the work but still dont want to pay a fair tax . that is why they stick with the GOP.
Wait and see what he and Trump have in plan for the nation if they or anyone that they have influenced ever gets into office again. I promise that if you know people that vote for the current Republican party are not yours nor America's friends. They vote for these demons because they hate the same groups of people, so it doesn't matter how much damage they will do to the country as a hole.... Until the damage is felt. Now watch how they expect President Biden to fix the issue Desantis caused.
That's why they should be laughed at, in their faces, whenever they complain.
Americans don’t apply for jobs like that.
British farmers voted to leave the European Union , which meant they lost access to migrant workers and to subsidies. They're now crying too.
This is an outstanding example of what journalism should be about...presenting the facts, no matter the direction from which they come, and then reporting it, without bias, in an objective manner that allows the viewing public to see for themselves what is happening. Great job!

One thing almost no one knows. Quite a few of these hard working men are legal residents with short careers as acountants or Diesel mecanics but when they first enter the country legally, it becomes dificult to work because of the language barrier, and so many of them work in the fields as a secure way of making money until they get properly set up and ready to work in their specialty.

Sure they are cheap labor under dehumanizing conditions, they don’t deserve to be treated like that. In the end they are criminals who entered the country illegal by human traffickers. Specially construction workers some times don’t get paid and get threatened with getting deported some also do a shitty job because they just care about making a buck to send back, maybe tomorrow they get deported. They don’t pay car insurance and drive illegally. The lists adds on…illegals are a problem and criminals. Sure they do deserve to come legally to the US but not illegally. Look up at Canada, Australia, they just don’t let anyone get in. In Canada if you have a long criminal history you are not even allowed to enter the country. Do you let just about anyone walk inside your home? I sure don’t.
But that's not why they vote Republican. The reason is they're NRA gun nut fossil-fuel stooges. They have some pipe dream of waging a civil war to stop the implementation change over to alternate energy.
You don’t pay very good attention. All their workers have work visas and pay taxes this is how it should be done under the law.
Perhaps next time educate yourself for a few moments before commenting.
I’ve worked at a factory in Ohio for a few weeks. There were only a handful of US citizens. Everyone else was Mexicans who couldn’t speak English. But when these guys are put to a task, they do a GREAT job, show up on time, responsible and very speedy. We need more people like them working in the US and pay taxes
Slaves were outstanding laborers as well. That’s why the democrats fought to keep them.
@@memyselfandi8544maybe you should read up in the political parties flipping in the 20th century….todays democrats would have been republicans in the 1800s and vice versa
@Me MyselfandI My white family members worked in factories for years, some even retiring from them, and they were not considered slaves. We had good insurance, good pay and financial stability which helped the economy.
@@memyselfandi8544 Don't play dumb! You know darn well the parties swapped over the years. So yes Lincoln was a republican, but in today's standards he would be considered a Democrat. You know this and so does everyone else.
@@trent1477 I’ve seen the flipping. I remember KKK democrats, peacenik democrats, working class democrats, Russia loving democrats, War on drugs democrats, War on Terror democrats, you name it. And all those folks who were repulsed by their lunacy who actively fought to block their agenda. It’s a rigged game. The agenda is controlled by globalist elites. The globalist elites are who pretend to be Christian, Jewish, Communists, and Ecologists. They are Satanists. Anyone can look it up if they dare.
Pay Americans more and we will pick plants. You’re paying them under wages for the job they are doing. Be honest about it
It’s easier to pass anti-immigrants laws than passing the ones that helps people instead.
@Qwert How does it help US citizens? I agree that genuinely illegal immigrants should not be permitted to stay. But too much "enforcement" involves how people look, rather than who they are.
@@theeddorian Sound like a skunk, look like a skunk, then you are considered a SKUNK.
We need MUCH MORE enforcement.
@Qwert should told this to native americans back then
@@crazysquirrel9425 So that NO farm can hire people to do the work? I mean did you listen to the report at all? Americans DON'T want to do this kinda work period. Illegal's are the only one's willing to do this kinda shit.
You voted for this don't cry now
I have a question for these farmers. How much do you pay the workers? Cause watermelons now are costing between $4 to $6 a piece!!!
Nobody wants to do this work, Homeless would rather beg!
We have exactly the same problem in England at the moment. The popularists got their vote and now no-one is working the farms. This what happens when you vote for wish lists, you get Wish version governments.
What migrants do you have in England, from what Countries?
@@donaldallen1768 So the nationalities with the biggest increases would be:
The Polish, quite high across a lot of different industries and skill sets. Romanians, Bulgarians & Lithuanians too. generally in service industries & agriculture.
Australians have always been a constant trickle, though they tend to stay no more than 5 years.
Republic of Ireland is a another constant, though when it's time to retire a lot move back home.
Indians, Bangladeshi & Pakistanis has always been high - across a swathe of industries and skill sets. Indian will continue to possible continue to grow if the "free movement" trade deal becomes a thing - it doesn't solve anything because low skilled Indian migrants go into retail or food services.
Nigerians and South Africans, and when Mugabe was busy with his dictatorship there was an increase Zimbabweans.
We did have a sudden spurt of activity over the years from Nepalese, Hong Kongers (Honkies?) and Ukrainians but these are for obvious reasons and while the Ukrainians may return depending on the outcome of the war, the HK'ers are here to stay.
This is a smokescreen being pushed by democrats and immigrants in government positions. They want their ppl in here and are using fear to FORCE Americans to vote against their own interest! It’s pathetic and sad all around. Even the ppl thinking change will happen over night are crazy!
@@donaldallen1768Wherever they migrate from, they all do the same work as the Mexican immigrants in the US.
Since they’re all gone like they wanted, nobody is doing the farm work
@@donaldallen1768 Most of the farm workers in the UK came from Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Most of the construction workers came from Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia. Most of the medical workers came from India and the Caribbean.
Nobody took your job, you just refused it. When those veg and fruit go to spoil because of this latest bill, remember who you voted in.
Why go on strike - just don't come.
@MoJo Pare totally missed the point of the comment and the video. No Americans applied for the job. The only people willing to do the work are immigrants. These two farmers stated they are politically conservatives...which means they voted against their own best interest and we'll most likely lose their farms if they continue to do so.
Exactly. I’m sad to see the amount of hate my people get. They’re native-Americans too and get treated like total 💩 for not having the proper documentation the pilgrims didn’t have either.
Don’t worry automation is coming soon.
@@msdarkstar44 With a college degree, who's going to run it?
I wonder who's doing all the hard work in Mexico while all their workers are in the US?
I admire the migrant workers who pick our food! LEAVE THEM ALONE because do you want to do their work or send your children to help pick the crops????
$14 pay nowhere near a living wage,especially in florida.
Ahh 14 hr and other benefits make it possible, which could be why Americans don’t work there???
@@davewitmer7633 it could pay $20 and people would still complain about being hot and wanting a break.
Exactly
Well its alot for where they are sending it. Will live like kings
@@davewitmer7633 $2240 a month will not pay for half a house.what benefits could you be thinking of?
Neither one of these two "farmers" has done a hard days work in a very long time. Hats off to the actual field workers.
Let the leeches go out of business
That’s a heck of an assumption about two people you don’t even know. Seems to me these two men respect the migrant workers. You don’t like them simply because they’re self described conservatives? Pretty close minded and judgmental of you.
they own the place. wtf are you talking about?
Owning your own business means you don’t work hard everyday? Usually the opposite if you are a successful business owner.
@@timothydelvalle1843 conservatives don't respect migrant workers
Why make it so difficult for everybody, why don't just gave them a temporary work permit like seasonal work whenever is high demand in the field, and when slow down just simple sent them back home. Most of those people don't pretend to live in the US, just work and go back home.
These farmers don't pay their workers enough.
These immigrants are helping America grow.
In more ways than just one. I see them selling food everywhere and even in the middle of the night, and they are doing the janitorial work in hospitals and schools, and skilled nursing facilities and dishwashing in every restaurant, repairing roads, etc.
That’s what my people do! Hard workers . They don’t bitch and complain. Something Americans love doing. It’s sad!
I picked grapes during vandange (grape harvest) in Switzerland and France for a few seasons when I lived in Paris. I only did 1 season in France because the pay and working conditions were so much better in Switzerland. I was usually the only American maybe there would be 1 or 2 more out of a hundred plus workers. I got yelled at because I was taking jobs away from Europeans but not Swiss or French; from Polish and Czech.
Everyone thought all Americans were rich at that time. They thought it was unfair that I was taking a job away from someone who made more in 2 or 3 weeks picking grapes than they did in their home countries in 6 months working as professionals like teachers.
Guess how many Swiss people picked grapes in Switzerland? Zero. The minimum wage at that time (90s) was $12/hour. That was a lot back then. I wasn't rich and I couldn't have earned $12/hr back then in my home city. But I could understand their point. In my home country, I would have more opportunity to earn a decent living than they did in theirs.
Still the point is, Swiss people didn't want to pick grapes for $12/hr. Just like Americans don't want to pick watermelons for $8/hr. So why hassle the people who do actually want to do the work?
Political reasons, elections are around the corner. DeSantis is using illegal people as a tool .
Farmers need to pay a decent wage woth benefits
I doubt they make $8 hourly
What other countries were those workers coming from?
Because by some estimates, only 4% of illegal aliens even work in agriculture. The rest are out and about helping to lower the wages of the trades, and in some cases are even politicians trying to boss us around, police trying to arrest us, or lawyers who somehow have a license to practice law but are criminals themselves.
I really do believe that if an immigrant comes over and works his ass off like most of them do, they should have that equal right and opportunity to be one of us! 🇺🇸🇵🇷🇲🇽
H-2a Visa holders are working legally not using someone's stolen identity and social security number
Ultra conservative(take advantage of immigrants). 🤡 🤡 🤡
Typical
You didn't watch the video or didn't understand it.
@@vw8886 What's to understand? Those two 'conservatives' voted for Republicans who create laws that ruin their businesses. Then they will ask for subsidies from the government and cry about socialism. Haven't they learned from what happened in Alabama?
@@vw8886 clearly you didn't watch the video. Your comment makes zero sense.
Law makers "Don't bite the hand that feeds you and your family".
They don’t want everybody across just enough people to work for them
spot on, enough to pick their cotton like back in the day
Exactly, they have a problem with immigrants who don’t make them money. Such hypocrisy
@@chrishart-williams6432 There's no limit for agricultural seasonal work visas. Every ag business can bring these workers through lawful means. But many opt the cheapest route, hire illegals in the country, and don't have to abide by labour laws and minimum wages. And that also attract more illegal immigration. Do you see how misinformed you are????
What does it matter what they want? We have a legal work program for higher wages than they otherwise have available. It benefits both parties involved.
Illegals cross the border because they know they will be hired. Now that businesses have to pay the consequences, now they wanna complain? Illegals would love to legally work. It's up to the businesses to file the visa paperwork, which they don't and you know why.
Tell them keep voting for Ron
👏🏼
You know both of these farmers are big DeSantis supporters and pissed that they have to pay these guys decent wages.
They are exstremely grateful to these ppl an to have their crops to market. without them they're bankrupt
They have to pay the federal wage
@@paperboy...8667 The entire country would collapse without documented and undocumented workers who do the jobs no Americans want to do or jobs for far less than Americans are willing to do even at good wages with no health care benefits. Most of the Agricultural states are Red and anti-immigration rhetoric is highest. There is not going to be anyone to pick citrus crops in FL thanks to DeSatan’s policies. Yet the right will will whine and blame democrats for these higher prices. Same goes for meat and poultry.
These guys are following the law. They’re hiring workers under an American visa to perform work . These migrants are being tracked in the system. That’s the way the system is supposed to work.
@@whisper2284 Keep telling yourself that. The entire agriculture and meat industry in America and the low prices we pay is based on farmers hiring illegal immigrants and paying them low wages and no benefits. These guys are the exception to the entire industry. They are doing the jobs no Americans would ever do even paying them a decent wage. The right rhetoric never tells that story. Ask Floridians how DeSatan’s new policies are working there as the agriculture and construction industries are now collapsing. Orange juice prices are at record highs.
A very dear friend of mine who came to this country to find work is one of the hardest, most trustworthy, kindest, most compassionate persons I know. She cleans houses, volunteers at her church, is willing to always help. And although her English is not perfect, she speaks TWO languages. Spanish and English. I am fifth generation Californian…I speak one language. English. French maybe. 🤦🏼♀️. But I look up to my friend as someone who hasn’t sat back with her hand out whining like most trust fund babies. She and her whole family are the hardest workers. We should be feeling privileged to be around hard workers. If it wasn’t for them we would not have food on our table.
Legal or Illegal or Asylum??????????????
I think not
We need our slave's totally agree
@@ufodude1000Why can’t homeless and welfare dwelling Americans be your slaves? There’s ton of them.
If you want your slaves then go get them
Respect the hard work
And that is the whole point! It has nothing to do with conservative ideology. Immigrants that come to our country to work come to work. They pay taxes like everyone else. There are a lot of topics to discuss about immigration. What needs to happen is that both sides must come together and put the party aside. What is really splitting us is politics. You will never make decisions that benefit the people if we continue to be petty and stick to one side
My father was a farm worker back in the 60s. He saved his money and moved back to Puerto Rico and purchases his own farm, I asked my sister why did he leave the southern states, she said there were too racist, and my father is a white Puerto Rican and they were racist against him being Puerto Rican and he never returned back to United States. He always said until the day he died, that the United States was a racist country. He would never step foot in a racist country. he didn’t like the way that white people disrespected the Black people and Hispanics.
Por esa misma razón me fui y no regreso mas nunca. La gente se deja humillar por recibir un cheque
He never left the states. PR is part of the "Commonwealth," a territory like Jamaica still is to England.
But your point stands. The mainland is a fucked up empire that abuses the indigenous and non-white who do not conform.
Likewise, lasted 4 years in FL, horrible people. My island is paradise
It's true
Its not just the U.S. anywhere you go people will judge you based on the color of your skin or language you speak. Look at soccer league fans in Europe. Just saying, you have get over it and call it ignorance on the other. Iam sure there are alot of others that don't like white people as well.
This has been happening for years all over U.S.
Knew this was gonna happen. Thats why i have my popcorn ready.
I'm stuck on how he says "these immigrants are okay because they're here to work hard" as if the norm is that immigrants don't want to work. My guy....PLENTY of the people trying to come here and be part of this country are also hard workers looking to make a better life for themselves and their families with honest work.
That is hard work. I worked in the fields at a young age, I know how it is. I am grateful for them and pray for their well being. 🙏😊
No you’re not
@@jesuslover5968 you wouldn't know shit "baby girl"
Hard work? Try commercial landscaping or roofing. I laughed when he said it's 9/10 hard work in the video 😂
Make sure you wash all that feces off your fruits and veggies.
@@OtogiGaming And landscaping and roofing are two other jobs that a lot of migrants do in Florida. Construction sites are being abandoned because the Mexicans who build those houses are leaving the state.
Getting paid barely above minimum wage to destroy my body isnt my idea of living.
