If we all have to get fucked over, I'm definitely gonna laugh at the morons who chose this and will suffer worse than me
What’s funny is the old idea that book nerds know things but farmers do things is a source of pride for farmers.
The reality is that farmers are just nerds also.
Yet they think of themselves as something else, like mythical strong men beasts who feed the rest of us useless folks.
The real strong men are the very immigrants that do the literal toiling while the farmers are basically like mini CEOs by comparison
Their rejection of the very nerdiness thst gives them their mystique is ironic
They are smart enough to turn land into food

Time for Mexico to pump up its own agriculture to supply the goods that will be needed on the other side of the fence. Labor is plenty now.
The idea is so badly implemented... you have to raise back Unions and decent salaries, what they expecting is that actual born americans will do the same job for the same shit money that desperate migrants who have absolutely nothing.

Just buy a Musk-branded, doge- approved, exploding slave neck collar and perimeter fence kit. Keeps your child employees motivated, on-task, on-location.
"You reap what you sow" originates from farming wisdom. Just putting that out there.
It's weird to think the agricultural workers, who can't vote and don't have legal status and are often living on subsistence wages, deserve to be snatched off the street and fed into a concentration camp system in order to deprive a few agricultural wholesalers of their profit margins.
I don't see that as reaping what you sow at all. Fascism does not fall heaviest on the fascists.
Robots will take over?
cylons will take over, after they go all skynet on humans.
capitalism suddenly stops believing in the supply demand graph once coercion is off the table
What's that? Southern states running on cheap labour can't cope with the loss of that labour? Where have we heard that before?
Fool me once and all that, but they actually voted for it this time round...
It’s not just Southerners who are the bad guys here. A huge amount of liberals are ecstatic to exploit cheap migrant labor as well.
