I am not a fan of the narrative that Americans are too lazy to take jobs that are being worked by immigrants. It's just not true. Americans won't take these jobs because these jobs aren't going to pay what Americans demand. Not because they're lazy. These immigrants are being taken advantage of and are being paid way less than they deserve simply because they're illegal immigrants. Them being deported isn't going to suddenly make these jobs higher paying positions. The problem is with corporations. Not with immigrants nor with American citizens (well except the fucked up americans that voted for trump).
I just want to clarify that I'm saying the fat and lazy Americans won't take the job, not that Americans are fat and lazy therefore they won't take the job.
There's a bit of a difference and I just want to be clear about what I'm saying here.
There's a lot more to consider on this and how it impacts inflation and the viability of American farming as an industry. Since I'm neither and agricultural expert, nor an American, I'm going to dip instead.
Good luck neighbors.
