There are many reasons employers prefer immigrant labor to hiring white men who generally are drunks consumed by anger and work only so they can fake and injury and go on workers comp or sue the employer.

My landscaper the other day said he had several guys call out. He said the reason he has so many guys (hourly workers) is because so many call out daily. So work he has going gets delayed. Had the same issue building my house 26 years ago. Guys don't show up.
Recall the registered Republican car parts factory owner in Ohio who hired Haitian labor? He said he could not get local white people to work in a car parts factory. Trump said the workers were eating cats and dogs. The owner said they were great. Worked hard always on time no problems.
Those citizens will not take those jobs. But I know who is taking this assholes job, a dem.
They know they're lying. They know they sound ridiculous. They know we know. They should be launched into the sun. Including journalists who don't challenge their assertions.
It's Fox, so just another Trump fluffer masquerading as a journalist. But definitely, let's volunteer them to test Elon's next flight.
No it won't. And no thnx.
Tried this before and didn't work then
so stupid
Since it’s Fox, the study showing citizens would choose unemployment over those jobs wasn’t brought up.
I'm sure maga is tripping over themselves to get those jobs. Or did the thug racists just not think this through.🙄
The latter. They're not big on thinking, period.
Picking the crops, washing dishes, and doing day labor work. Yeah that'll get bubba off the lazy boy and into coveralls.
Hold your breath Steube.
I can't wait to move to CA (where housing is expensive) and pick strawberries for minimum wage and no benefits.
US citizens don’t want to work these jobs.
They WON'T work these jobs. This has been proven over and over again. But I guess if you're living in a gold plated world, how would you know?
No one is buying what the Trump Administration are selling and its popularity is crashing to the point of revolution. We are almost there. @chrislhayes.bsky.social @chriscillizza.bsky.social
Is he implying American citizens are suffering from large levels of unemployment? Did he not see Trump’s “real jobs numbers” show yesterday?
When you decode the Newspeak "opportunity..to take these jobs" into what they really mean you realize they plan to crater the economy and leave people the choice between menial work or starvation. Think feudalism with a facsist veneer as their dreamed endpoint.
I've been saying this since the 90s.
Yeah. Because the average Fox News viewer has been clamoring to hunch over in those strawberry fields for 50 cents per basket.
The American dream! Oh wait, hasn’t the American dream always been to become a millionaire at the expense of others’ cheap labour?
Rotting on the vine - USA
Maybe he should go pick some fruit on a sweltering hot day for minimum wage. Asshat.
Nobody wants the job undocumented workers do. The Republicans live in a state of ignorance and denial.
Americans have ALWAYS had access to these jobs. They don’t want them.
Exactly. If native born citizens were doing those jobs, there would be no reason for corporations to basically invite undocumented workers to come here. They know that those workers will show up, do the jobs efficiently and for a wage that Americans would never accept.
You first, Greg. Get out there and pick my cotton in the summertime heat. No lazy white assed gop is gonna do half the work that a brown man can, because white men are mediocre lazy sobs who are afraid to break a sweat unless it’s at the gym trying to pick up women. The crops are rotting, Greg
These people literally live in delusions.
Yeah Harvard graduates rushing to get those roofing jobs. Retirees who can't make it on their retirement checks have been eagerly waiting to get into the scorched fields to pick fruits. Food trucks will now be manned by fresh young 18 - 20 yo who've never made an omelette in their life.
Absolute unbrained moron still don't understand that citizens don't take these jobs BECAUSE you can't survive with their wages. Go take these jobs yourself, subshit.
They’ve always had the opportunity. They don’t want them. Plain and simple.
The same freakin' lies again & again. When the crises hit these people will be nowhere to be found. youtu.be/XT0wpT_62OM
They will blame the problems that they created on Biden.
Damn, I saw people on here on this platform this morning. Blaming the Biden administration for all this shit, Democrats saying this. I was so furious.
Ha; that "immigrants are taking your jobs" nonsense is laughable. Offer a teen a job in the fields for minimum wage; they'll laugh at you. FYI, former immigrants worked for their citizenship are now doctors/doctors, attorneys, business owners, chefs, Representatives, they belong there as well.
Why don't YOU take their jobs, Greg. Go out and pick a crop of strawberries, literally.
So what's been keeping citizens from applying for and taking those jobs anyway? Possibly low pay and poor working conditions? Are those going to change if citizens decide to do the work they're not choosing to do now?
This fool’s family members need to start applying for these jobs. Picking fruit, cleaning toilets, washing dishes. Yep, what opportunities abound!
#FuckTheGOP #Immigrants #FuckICE This fucking useless idiot woke up particularly stupid this morning! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOED...
Two failed males pretending they are smart.
This guy speaking should be put out in the fields ASAP to do some picking !!!!!!
I’m going to leave tech and go pick fruit, always been my dream.
And for $2/hour!
👍😂!
Hopefully you can get a apprenticeship with the broccoli pickers.
No Bro. I picked fruit part time as a kid. Backbreaking work. Keep your Tech job, believe me. Maybe you can develop a fruit picking machine as a side hustle, lots of opportunity there.
You're so lucky. I've always wanted to work on an assembly line sewing together tennis shoes. Because of the Democrats and their minimum wage, my dream has suffered.
The camps will pick. Hello slaves. We’re next
Except AI can take your place and you will have no choice but to work the fields to survive. When they decided to have a kingdom, they planned on making everyone serfs.
Wrong AI isn’t a one size fits all in IT. Most IT jobs will not be able to be done by AI
It won't stop them trying. I think we all know AI often doesn't work well, and in many cases AI isn't even AI - just an existing service renamed. As long as some people can make some money now from the hype, they'll be happy and we will pick up the pieces afterwards.
Considering AI hallucinates more than people do, the way they're currently trying to implement it is going to mean you need more IT people to fix what AI does. There are very few cases where AI actually increases somebody's productivity, or can replace them, without causing massive issues.
You are most likely right. Unfortunately leadership doesn't understand that it takes talented people using AI to train an AI. They believe that AI will allow them to take even more of the profits because they can reduce costs. Jobs will be cut, even if the company finds it was a mistake later.
Then those companies will fail when their machine learning code ends up costing them 3 million a year and only leads to losses. They will scramble to go back to people or they will go under.
Lots of people simply don’t understand that. They believe that AI is some magical, self propagating future entity that will replace all people. While AI will eliminate a lot of jobs, maybe 95% of current jobs, there will always be 5% of the people holding the strings, managing that AI puppet.
Given enough time they will.
It’s a massive bubble for sure but the AI bros will make a fortune before it all burns down
Crypto scammed are crypto scammed regardless of the label they use. Some people just can't catch on to the next scam before it starts. It doesn't help that machine learning companies keep engaging in false advertising and nobody calls them on it.
That was meant to be crypto scammers* are crypto scammers*. This is a great example of how this machine learning crap takes good work and ruins it. They replaced proper spell-check with machine learning garbage, and everybody wonders why the quality has gone down. Because you bought garbage.
AI gonna grow and pick vegetables?
Not one size fits all. Massive software libraries are just waiting for AI to assemble them into new functionality on request.
And then they run up against a problem they dont immediately know how to solve and they delete everything they've made and everything that you had made before you even bought it.
AI can't even fill and ship a simple medical prescription (ask me how I know). I'm not impressed. I was reading a court pleading and for some reason Adobe Acrobat forced an AI "summary" of it on me. The "summary" was beyond laughable with made up scenarios and words. Again, not impressed.
I agree, managers who have lost touch with what their people do will try to replace them with AI but will realize it won't work pretty quickly
I don’t think they care if it works really.
They would care if someone fired their asses for not getting innovative results. AI is only as good as the human beings behind it. If CEOs were accountable and held middle managers accountable for utilizing people properly, companies would thrive and build safe and useful products for consumers.
Absolutely! There are people who are still terrible at using google, from asking the right question to skipping ADs & daring to use multiple sources. My neighbor insisted yesterday that LBGTQ military weren’t cut & losing their vet benefits because FOX & Newsmax didn’t say so when he Googled!!! 🤦♀️
The irony is that AI replacing management is more realistic. Managers are input/output jobs - they get data on the work being done and make decisions. AI won’t be able to replace skilled work. It will hurt entry level skilled workers though.
What are you talking about? U want to tell me A.I cant control robots that can handle skilled work? Ever seen any number of machine shops or car factories? Come on dude. EVERYTHING is at risk with A.I. Honestly right now if ppl figured out atleast one way to pick certain crops they would have a
Billion dollar business over night & if they made various robots to pick all different kinds of crops it would be a trillion dollar business. Simple as that. Let A.I control it & even farming is only handled by the farm owner themselves
True!
I don’t think so. Managers are just babysitters for adults to make sure they are doing the work. I’m a manager. That’s what it feels like.
AI can’t even fucking tell us how many b’s are in blueberry it is chatbot garbage and if it could take your job you are basically an invalid
Yes. That’s why I said it could take manager’s jobs.
Oh the irony… Future headlines … Grok to Replace Musk as Tesla CEO Grok Considering Replacing Musk as SpaceX CEO
All work is "skilled" - everyone must be trained by the preceding generations. The failure of Boomers to learn from their ancestors has brought us to a gap that will not be filled with AI. It will be painful to claw back the knowledge we have lost. Empathy. Cooperation. More hands make light work.
Are you blaming Boomers for not learning or the preceding generation for not training them? As a (late) Boomer, I will tell you the preceding generation did NOT want to train us youngins (especially women!) to take their jobs. I look forward to seeing the successes of the generation you're training.
Don't worry, my son & daughter won't ask you for any help.
I, too, have (now adult) children. No one wants their children or grandchildren to fail, and we all do our best. If your children (or you) need help, I will give it. I hope they don't ever accuse you of failing their generation. I know you're doing your best. ✌🏼
I’m a boomer,and the majority of my knowledge comes from those who preceded me,just as it is with the majority of boomers. You must be talking about the generations who followed us and thought we were clueless of modern technology.
Yeah, no. Most boomers stood on the shoulders of giants, reached a few inches above their heads, & proclaimed, "Look at what I did all by myself!" then proceeded to expect everyone else to pay them for the privilege of being brought into the world after them. Lister (1827) & Salk (1914) were giants.
I don’t know what generation you are part of,but you paint with an awful wide brush to convict others. I did stand on the shoulders of giants,because they gave me the hand up,just as I give a hand to raise the next generation up higher,but not all take the hand to raise up higher.
You don't know who Lister or Salk are, do you?
You’re blaming boomers? The last generation who knew how to say please and thank you?
Please, tell the boomers to take responsibility for their mess. Thank you.
What are you talking about? Failure to learn from ancestors. Learn what? Do you know how to kill and defeather a chicken for dinner? You don't even know what you're talking about. Just complaining about something.
There's that empathy I was talking about.
IDK about you, but I didn’t vote for that m’fer.
Did you inherit from someone who did though? Because there's this saying, maybe you've heard of it? To whom much is given, much will be expected.
Neither did we. Painting a generation with one brush is an act of willful blindness and stupidity. This finger-pointing bullshit is what divides us. This is what the 1% wants--infighting so they can keep taking what little we have, while they laugh at us all the way to the bank.
Lots of boomers have been politically active since the war on Viet Nam. We certainly didn't create this mess.
And I am one of them. Actively marching against the Vietnam war and for voting rights and women’s rights starting when I was 16. Sat in the back of a few cop cars too!
Boomers and Gen X voted for Trump in larger numbers than other generations. Most of the Greatest Generation didnt vote for him, they've done this song and dance with fascism before. Millennial and Gen Z certainly didnt vote for him.
Who cares what boomers say if they can’t be bothered to pay their workers no amount of thankyou’s are going to pay a childcare or grocery bill. Wealth collection, concentration and hoarding is very real and a problem that has many lines drawn between generational lines.
Don’t agree? Well facts don’t care- Millennials are the 1st generation since records to be predicted to live LESS long than the previous generation. And that is a hugely problematic fact for countless reasons.
Thank you, the idea that any job doesnt require skill is so wrong and purposely used as propaganda from the wealthy.
Managers are the reason work from home is now return to the office. It revealed how much middle management could be trimmed back.
AI ain't all that. It needs very clear instructions. My manager doesn't have to tell me what to do.
I have probably one of the most human dependent positions in my space, Ai can swing on my nuts.
Nope it sure fucking won’t it can’t spell, writes dogshit code, and can’t make thoughtful decisions.
That's what they want, but a lot of the companies who immediately jumped on replacing people with AI are in the "finding out" stage rn, because it actually is quite a bit worse than a real person when confronted with real world scenarios.
The technoserfdom era is coming my friend. We will all be relegated to manual labour to serve our AI overlords.
The fallacy that AI is going to take all of these jobs is just silly.
I mean, if you're writing the plot to a bad dystopia sci-fi horror story, then you've done great. Machine learning can't do many jobs, and it can't do any jobs well. Definitely not at its current stage, and most likely not in the future either.
You sound like an AI. A dumb one.
He is Tech. Even with super advanced AI, there will still be Tech people thinking it up and designing it. My bet is if he developed weeding machines and fruit picking machines, him, his children and many generations of grands would live in financial luxury forever.
Someone need to run AI it doesn’t run itself. Those who embrace the technology will be fine the ones who say “I’m not using AI”will be left behind. Just like the ones who said I won’t use a computer… same mentality
please get educated lmfaooo
Tell em you know nothing about AI…
I would refuse to be a serf, actually under the Salic Law/Divine Right, I'm quite literally at the top since I'm a Capetian and Plantagenet cadet and a Manx Royal in my own right since I'm a member of House Montagu,
AI can’t even spell check correctly, date president terms correctly, forget about teaching. It’s always clowns like you thinking it’s easy to teach
AI will settle as a tool, not a replacement. It requires an engineer to read and test the output, which saves little time. However when used as a tool, it can scaffold things quickly and save time for knowledgeable engineers.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M4_(com... Finally, sendmail configuration can be based on vibes instead of M4
bro it can’t spell strawberry and costs a trillion dollars, it’s not replacing shit
Sure Makes sense If you’re a raving maniac
Nobody wants those jobs!
Cool, then why are thousands of tons of fruits a vegetable rotting on the vine on farms where ICE has hit?
Hahahaha. Completely out of touch. The price hikes will slap some reality back in very soon!
I want to see Greg in the fields, milking and caring for cows, in 100 degree heat laying roofing. It’s a great opportunity for him to show true leadership by walking the walk! Just for a week. Forfeit a week of his pay and replace it for a week of farm wage. Then take an extra week and live off it.
I am waiting for the huge lines of applicants for those wanting to pick fruit and vegetables or work on farms. 70% of workers in the U.S. farm sector are foreign born. The National Milk Producers say milk prices could nearly double if the U.S. dairy industry loses foreign workers.
Yeah, and I heard maga is lining up for the opportunity to pick produce, milk cows, and haul shingles up ladders 3 stories up 🤣🍊💩
.. so, they harvest the folks that harvest the most ? Happy Thanksgiving... Fidiots.
Let’s get the urban poor out into those fields
They really do believe that nonsense, don't they?
What is "that" spouting total insanity?
Oh sure..read where cherries need picking. Come on MAGAts, they aren't going to pick themselves. There are many opportunities waiting out their for you in the AG industry. Maybe Joe Rogan can do *help wanted* show on his bro podcast. And Rep Steube, get your families' asses out there too.Let's go!
Republicans are either totally clueless or full of shit. Either way they have no idea how any of this works
why not both?
True
WHAT A FUKIN JOKE....
Or it’s just going to make the food go bad and go to waste because no one’s gonna work those jobs. Fucking racist pieces of shit! They are so damn ignorant.
This fuckwit is spewing the new take on this thinking the rest of us non dumbshits don’t know the brown skin people are doing the jobs the white skin people won’t do because the word is hard. It’s insulting they think we’re as dumb as their cult.
Spot on!
I have traveled all my life to almost every state and over 25 countries.. I have lived in FL most of the time since Covid because I have what few doctors I still have left in FL..I have to tell you FL is by far the most racist and dumbest state I have ever been to. Steube, as all the FL Reps
We lived in FL until I was 12. I agree with you. But, I lived in Texas for 2 years 5 years ago. I have to say Texas gives Florida a run for the title of dumb and racist. And Texans think they’re the best Christian’s. It’s truly amazing to watch. Especially the baptists.
,...they think everyone is as ignorant as them! I have seen old ppl flinch when they talk like him...very few of these old ppl come from FL and they were not raised with ignorance like Steube.. Now that they are waking up, I expect to see more telling them to FO ignorant asshole!.
Alabama is not far behind
Again you are 100 percent right
They are so stupid.
Americans don’t want these jobs bro….America has been fukked by Republicunts!
People are NOT illegal.
Yes it will. Can’t wait. 🤓🥸
Who are the idiots who voted for this guy? Was he the best candidate in his district? Is that whole district full of idiots?
Why are all these MAGAts so weird and creepy looking?
What do they not understand? We don’t want to do these jobs. They’re too hard. We’ve been too spoiled. The pay is too low! The weather too hot/cold. Too backbreaking. Too dangerous. You name it, we don’t want to do it. The immigrants have come, made homes, worked hard, we are treating them terrible.
Newsflash, Greg ... Americans don't want to eat their veggies, much less pick them. But you knew that, didn't you?
Hope Greg Steube goes out to harvest produce for a day. . .
Someone should take a Lawn mower to that MESS on his face!!!
Where do these Nazi come from? Always a new one spouting propaganda. MAGA 🤢
The sad thing is they have been there hiding as a "normal"
Seriously? The Republicans are going with that argument? I'm guessing forced labor comes next.
Depression first
Thanks for the naked bullshit and knowing you are not a good person
After you Greg. But first, can I get some fresh towels in my hotel room?
"These low paying, back breaking jobs that no American would ever want."
Tell steube to go pick fruit and vegetables and clean toilets and --the list is long where he might get a #realjob
Steube hasn’t picked food out of his garden or worked in a hot kitchen or done any roofing in 95 degree heat. I’d like to see him do that.
Nothing important. Just the president of the United States saying that he thinks that people who get injured doing agricultural work and can no longer do the work quickly die.
He is such a racist pos.
And of course the narcissistic shithead has to include the "sir" in the conversation. Gawd, I cannot wait for that fuckin' obituary.
Tube can pick tomatoes first!
Are their daughters going to scrub toilets for the rich? Are their sons willing to work on yards in the hot sun all day?
What an idiot! Citizens will not do those jobs, back-breaking work, low pay, no benefits. I'm sick of their lies.
They won’t do them even with good pay and benefits. A few years back Napa wine makers had a labor shortage. They were offering $23/hr plus a benefits package. They couldn’t get Americans to apply.
Just wait til they have to pay 8$ for a head of lettuce! Morons. Good luck dealing with Tanner and Sages parents when you’ve made their babies work in the sun too long.
I'm looking at retirement in a couple of years, but have been worried about this regime crashing Social Security. Nice to know now they will plenty of opportunities for me to make money in my 7th decade picking tomatoes and pouring concrete.
This is a representative who is lying, what's new, it's a gop guy.
Produce sections in grocery stores in SE WI are frequently empty lately
Once these local fruit stands in SC are empty, it's over. And I hear the price of meat is outrageous! Scared vegetarian here!
Anyone ask him where that happening and with what jobs? And solid data or true examples to back it up?
It's "the numbers", man. It's the numbers.
Can’t wait to see the red hats in the fields and groves. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Wait. They're working? Not cashing Medicaid checks?
And that truly is how stupid so many Americans are. They think Medicaid is cash in the hand of...not them!
Idiot alert
Our citizens want to pick melons in 120 degree heat in the godforsaken desert east of Yuma?
This is reality. Farmers did try to hire Americans' citizens. It has never worked.
Exactly
Are Americans that lazy or what? Granted, I never worked on a field in scorching heat, but I have 2 extremely boring, humiliating dead end jobs and I'm capable of adjusting, so maybe I'd even be able to work fields.
They're harvesting watermelons in southeast Missouri. Want an address?
Then go and get a job doing it. Plenty available now with Emperor Trump's Turd Reich in charge. Good luck and have fun - let us know how many hours you lasted.
You likely wouldn’t last the week. And it wouldn’t pay your rent.
You wouldn’t last an hour fatty.
I'm sure I would. Those immigrants would run circles around me, because I'm not used to constantly bending over for a piece of fruit, but you might be surprised what I'm willing to do for a small earning to afford a concert ticket.
Go on an do it then. You're free to do so.
I'm not. I have jobs already and there's no opportunity where I live.
It's less about laziness than pay and work environment. I could go work in the field, but I would make less, lose my insurance, lose my SEP, lose my HSA, and work far more than 40 hours, but only during the season unless willing to travel constantly. But yes, it is VERY hard work also.
Never!!
Has Rep Steube witnessed migrant workers in the fields, on rooftops, in kitchens, doing landscaping, making hotel beds? It's non-stop, fast paced, usually dirty, very difficult & body brutal. We are blessed that they come here to work, as few Americans line up to work that hard for such little pay.
Ah yes cuz the illegals were getting paid a fair wage for their labor when they took that job, right? So Americans are lining up to get paid $8/hr??!
That is one of the dumber things I've heard in this ongoing argument. There were unfilled jobs BEFORE this mass deportation. We will feel the effect of this for years to come. I wonder how Rep. Steube feels about releasing the #TrumpsteinFiles?
Yes, because even if we dig ourselves out of this mess, if I were a migrant, I would STILL be leery of coming to the US. Especially after seeing what has happened, and the speed at which it happened. Trust has been broken.
I certainly don’t trust republicans…
No one was complaining that they weren’t able to get a job picking tomatoes. Nobody was yelling at their representative because they weren’t allowed to work repairing a roof in 100° heat.
I'm sure job seekers in his family will clean bathrooms and pick crops.
Dude they are not out there trying to be a fucking roofer in Florida for $12 an hr while its 96° normally during the summer now meaning its ATLEAST 110+ on that roof between the reflection of the sun off metal or being absorbed by asphalt sheets combined with hot tar etc. GTFOH with that shit
So why are crops rotting? Americans don’t want the low paying jobs. They will find that out soon enough. That’s what they will do with all the people in the internment camps is make them work the fields.
😂😂😂 I live in CA and see these workers bent double picking produce in the blazing hot sun all day. Let’s see how fast the line forms for native born workers to sign up for these jobs. 😂😂😂
At 18 I picked strawberries in the heat. It was exhausting and I wasn’t fast enough to make much money. The second day I gave up. I was desperate for a job at the time and was willing. There’s never been enough farm labour to do seasonal work for the last 40 years!
I remember as kids, there was a strawberry and raspberry farm that hired kids to pick. We were middle-school age and decided that would be a great way to make money. Not sure we even lasted a whole day!
Why aren't his kids going to pick tomatoes in Tulare? Or his wife? Or how about his elderly parents? It's such a glorious opportunity for any college educated person or technically trained person or person on SS and Medicare to earn their existence.
/s?
How is it these idiots are so unaware of the nature of picking fruits and vegetables in brutal heat and humidity heat in the fields? One of the requirements of the temporary work visa for migrants is that farmers have tried and failed to fine American workers. It ain’t that hard to understand.
We have been at full employment for the past four years. No one is leaving even a job at McDonald's to go work in the fields or do casual labor. But the Trump tariffs should cause not only higher prices but high unemployment, forcing people to do anything. Right wing paradise (but not for them).
👀
But I thought the whole illegal immigrant effort was to remove the criminals, not the strawberry pickers!
They will eventually just want to “ remove “ everyone 😱😱
They truly are the stupidest people ... I don't know how you guys are going to survive this shit ... 💙🌊💙
Um...Americans don't want these jobs...get it through your thick fkn head
They don't care if we want the jobs or not. They want us to return to being slaves for their corporations and for sure aren't going to be paying a living wage. 🤦
Americans are to lazy to work these jobs.
Billionaires believe non-billionaires should be grateful to put little screws in iphones full-time. They are not concerned w what Americans want. They’re only concerned w what they are prepared to make us do. ‘Kiss my boots and thank me for it.’ Horribly broken people.
Well the homeless and the poor will be forced to do this labor. Everyone refuses to see what they are doing. You just can’t see it even though it is clear.
And immigrants, but it will be slave labor
Many won’t have a choice, that’s why they’re making work camps for homeless people
Not just the homeless, but also they've included "job requirements" for people on Medicaid in the BBB, and red states are relaxing child labor laws. The plan is indeed to make the most vulnerable take these jobs.
And kids
Trump has now declared war on America’s most impoverished. Instead of offering solutions for homelessness, he advises the unhomed to just get out of his sight, as, apparently, homelessness clashes with his gilded, “neo-rococo” sensibilities.
And Medicaid recipients.
I can’t wait til the farmers have to deal with sick and mentally ill people who will not be able to do the 1/4 of the work a healthy immigrant could. Not to mention the rampant drug addiction ( sadly very high among homeless populations) . By the next election they will begging for immigrants.
It won't take that long.
In the EO, the drug addicts and mentally ill will be placed in "institutions" - horrifying thought.
What they mean is those shoddily erected tents with bad plumbing and ventilation. Billions get thrown to the "developers" who spend millions and the balance (billions) gets laundered back to Trump and Noem.
Indeed.
that’s absolutely right! The prison industry makes a lot of profits but it’s not because they provide great facilities. It’s just a way for government officials to hand money to their cronies. Evil cronies who profit off abusing human rights. Using our tax dollars!
They’re begging now. Crops are rotting in the fields.
Well honestly if they voted for the orange felon fuck them.
I’m sure the undocumented workers being locked up did not vote for Trump… This attitude will send us all straight to hell, it’s not appropriate
😔
Cherry farms in Oregon are losing big $$
You mean that grandma in her walker that needs to subsidize her senior living apartment isn’t pulling her weight in the strawberry furrows?
✅ Exactly! Because Grandma now works for ICE since they removed the age limit. She can’t carry a gun though because both hands need to be on her walker. *Satire, don’t @ me.
And wouldn’t you know there’s a meme for that! Post per @mellowdeb.bsky.social
They could mount a machine gun on that thing. No reason Grandma can't join the raids.
Well said.
Absolutely . I live in California by Oxnard which was on the news for days as they raided the crops. Watch your grocery bill
I’m sure prices will rise but we could easily see severe shortages as well. Plus an awful lot of farms going bankrupt. Maybe that’s the idea. Big agri groups could buy them up at fire sale prices.
Via Jose D Vance's app for foreign investors.
That is exactly what happens. I grew up on a raisin farm ( grapes) in mid California. Many small to mid farmers were eventually bought up by Dole. Now only large farmers & Dole grow grapes for raisin in that area .
yet another way to kill small business and make sure the largest companies are the only ones that survive 💀
The ones whose CEOs can spunk $5M on a “fundraising dinner” and flesh-presser with the senile old pumpkin? Purely a cash flow exercise as they’ll get 5x that back every year when they’re the only grower in the state.
Exactly
You are absolutely correct. The mental and physical fortitude needed to do those jobs is way beyond ill people. But they could 4x the pay, provide benefits, a pension plan and maybe they could get young able workers. Maybe. Then either govt subsidizes or consumers pay 4x the price. Only fair way.
Unionize farm worker!!!!
And they never did want them - slaves did them
It must take a confused person to demonize the same folks that put veggies & fruits on their tables. Possibly a rightwinger.
My thoughts exactly
They wouldn’t last 2 days & that’s been proven
It should be illegal to be so stupid to believe such nonsense. Also, where are the charges against the "illegal" employers?
Exactly. It isn’t about the jobs. It’s about the racism.
We don't want them. We want the Epstein files.
Greg is really a Steubedumbass.
Who the hell are these people talking to? How does anything they regularly say and repeat pass the straight face test? I get they're paid actors, but the people watching it are not. Insanity of ignorance being the backbone of one of our two political parties. #DumbFascism #FUMAGA
No one has been stopping them from taking jobs that immigrants are currently doing. Step right up
Yeah? Are employees of these jobs going to start paying minimum wage?
Republicans Want To Bring Back Slavery. Oh, And Ignore tRump Wants To Pardon His Fellow Sexual Assault Felons and Pedophiles. bsky.app/profile/getw...
Yup, both of these guys will be there to roll up their sleeves, help with the crops, and show us all “how to get your hands dirty “.
So I can roll up to my local Community College and pick up a guy to mow my lawn now?
Home depot
No they won’t.
Yes! My mom just went to stand outside Home Depot to get her new job. Thanks! 👍
He knows better. He “represents” a district that would shrivel up and die without undocumented workers to do the jobs Americans won’t. I know this. I live in his district.
Hahahahaha!!!! Resist. Defeat. Replace. 2026
Their plan is to FORCE Americans to take these jobs.
Yep! It's called slavery! For even one minute, what intelligent person would think that a man who stated he had never been shopping in a grocery store would understand American people or any culture for that matter? I'm embarrassed to say I'm an American for fear someone thinks I'd vote for an idiot
I proudly wear my “Don’t look at me, I voted for her” tee-shirt just to be clear.
Who TF IS GOING TO SAVE OUR COUNTRY FROM THESE FUCKING IDIOTS?
Maybe they could stop kidnapping people who are here legally, literally outside of courtrooms just trying to follow the immigration laws 🤷🏼♀️ But we all know that this isn’t about the law or jobs
And it's not about gang members or rapists or murderers. There never were many of them here. That's why they have to go after people at immigration hearings & gathering places for work seekers. Their only crime was having dark skin.
Tell that to Elon Musk who overstayed his student visa.
even the nods are insincere
Right, maybe your family can pick our crops all 8 hours and get paid dirt. Or mow your own lawn and be your own landscaping business. When pigs fly...
Fox idiots!
That kind of goes without saying.
What they’re planning is for the people in tech jobs who get fired because of AI will be desperate enough to pick tomatoes…
Love the forward thinking here….
And then the tech will fall apart because of AI. It's quite the apocalypse we're setting up for ourselves. Almost all the dominoes are in place.
It won't be the glorious utopia the tech-bros are fantasizing about.
LOL like it was not available to them previously
What a POS this clown is…subservient to his pedoprez…no dignity and a simpleton to boot
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Yes, because as a senior my goal in life is to cut grass
No one is going to work in the fields you idiot!!
Honestly...who believes this shit? Are MAGAs running their hands for the opportunity to send their children to pick fruits and vegetables for 14 hours a day for $3 an hour? Dafuq, people?
Project 2025 Rosetta Stone: "We've planned for concentration/work camps for the homeless, unemployed, Medicaid recipients, addicted and mentally ill so they can be forced to replace the migrant worker on the farms. The South has risen again."
Magats believe this shite still and it is sad to watch these pols absolutely f*ck the citizenry by ignoring constitutional law.
These GOP congressmen are flat ignorant.
Wow! I’ll bet the line will be out the door! 😉
Lord, I hate stupidity….
Sure
I want to see Steube out there in the fields one day picking those radishes.
I suppose they’ll make me (76) and my husband (77) and my granddaughter (15) and my great grandson (not yet born) take these jobs opening up since they deported the people actually willing to do these jobs.
Corporations outsourced the jobs in the first place, then made more money on cheap labor overseas, now the idiot in office, rallies his uneducated supporters to bring back the jobs, HIS platform sent away !!!! What Americans are going to work in the fields ???!
Fucking morons! I can’t think of any maga idiots volunteering to go out and pick produce or climb on a hot roof roofing a house or preparing land for road construction! Excuse me, I should have said that I can’t see any maga’s doing these jobs!
Why does he look like someone in disguise in a 1950s movie?
Jobs for who? Who wants those jobs. There was a reason why we weren't doing them.
Call me when Greg gets a roofing job in Florida. 😒
yup - this right here ⬆️⬆️⬆️
Yeah, cuz picking fruit and cleaning hotel rooms is what every American worker aspires to…
It’s all for the lazy ass drug addled contractors and their subs. That’s why the magas hate immigrants. They don’t want to have to compete on a level playing field.
Steube is such a brainless dick weed.
Greg looks like he fought in the Confederacy and acts like one of the
*them 🤪
They will never understand the reason this will not work. They are incapable of learning that some jobs require actual work.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Off you go Steube and I’ll take your current employment.
Americans will take those jobs when Trump admits he’s a child rapist.
ISWYDT
?
I see what you did there.
😊 thank you!
Yep-going to give up nursing for, what? Agriculture? Meatpacking? I could have done those jobs were I so inclined. Oh-and I want to see AI suction a tracheostomy, insert a Foley catheter. And if a robot is to replace me let’s have male Foley catheter placement be the test
🇨🇦 nurse here who totally agrees with you… 😅
Guarantee their plan is to have kidnapped migrants work fields for free. That’s why the latest abomination is housing the kidnapped with criminals in Angola. Worst prison imaginable where criminals work the fields. They’ll wait until all the small farms are bought out by large conglomerates 1st.
💯💯
The prisons “rent” out their inmates for market value and pay them $1/day. They charge the inmates $5/phone call. It’s literal human trafficking and slavery. Just look at how many GOP invest in private prisons. That shows how profitable they are
Bingo!
Just like in Dubai
Expect ICE to do a lot of this with their Gulag system!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 these repukes will see how all their bullshit will collapse right before their eyes!
This is the best we have in Florida. Not saying much, is it.
He can’t name one American that applied for these jobs that immigrants had.If they didn’t want them then why would they want them now.
They are trying to prepare spin for the MAGA Depression. It won't be due to Republican policy, the ICE gestapo roundups, or the tariffs. It will be the fault of "inner city" people refusing to take those "Black jobs" on farms.
Bullshit dude, Americans will not do the jobs immigrants do and he knows it. Fucking piece of dog shit!
Right cause so many people wanna work a low paying farm job. Construction is going under because of tarrifs so yeah. But👇🥴
Yeah that Jack isn't really reliable 🥴.
That’s why Apple is making his phones in India
Sure. I’m sure overweight Travis and Lerline are willing to pick fruit in 100* weather.
Thank goodness. Maybe now my application will finally come up for that strawberry picker job.
All these Republicans must twist themselves into pretzels to justify their actions.
Granny is going to harvest our crops?
Granny better be fast with that harvesting blade.
And fields will need wheelchair accessibility.
Wheelchairs are Woke!
🤣👏
Feudalism you can vote for...
Every young white male dreams of one day being able to pick strawberries in the hot California sun
Who come from a wealthy well to do family.
Congratulations everyone. Now you have to do everything for yourself. Mow your own lawn, clean your own house, take care of your own parents. But wait, there's more. You can also get a low paying job at the same time doing those same things. It'll be great when they institute the 14-day work week.
We have always cleaned our own house and mowed our own yard. I guess we weren’t funding immigrants who needed the work. We couldn’t afford to hire anyone else.
Picked your own fruits & vegetables & processed your meat in the slaughterhouse? Gosh, you're remarkable.
Now all produce will be U-Pick in the field. Too bad if you don't have transportation to the farm!
On the bright side… now you can cut another lawn and clean another house and get paid for it…..
And you were buying tomatoes at $.79 a pound. Now they’ll be $10 a pound. Just because you didn’t do the work yourself doesn’t mean you didn’t benefit from the cheap labor.
Biden sent airplanes of immigrants back to their countries all the time. He wasn’t cruel and grandstanding about it.
Is it ignorance, stupidity, or are they so arrogant they think anyone with a shred of intelligence will believe this horse hockey? You either don’t have the workforce, or your veggies will now cost $7.50-$15/hour to pick (which is still not a livable wage), and your blueberries will be $12/pint.
Have they EVER produced a US citizen who really, really wanted that slaughterhouse job but went home in anger and tears because they gave it to an immigrant?
And don't forget all the people beating down the doors to work in old folks homes 🙄
Well actually there was a time when American citizens did do this work. Just not in your lifetime.
Sure. But they were still 1st generation immigrants.
My parents and cousins worked in the firlds and they were not first generation immigrants. We have been here since the 1600's . Quite a few generations. Just how young are you?
Is “firlds” a special kind of slaughterhouse I’m not aware of? The post you responded to cited slaughterhouses, not fieldwork.
No just bad typing. Fields, feel better. Well my family were farmers and they slaughtered their own animals, it might not be a slaughterhouse but it's still slaughter. Anyway I'm just saying that a lot of Americans through several generations did everything including slaughterhouses.
I know right? They could hire Americans now, but don't. It's always the employer who skates.
You first, Rep. Steube. Pick the vegetables, tar the roofs, dig the ditches, & pave the roads. Dumb*ss.
They can’t even get magas to join ICE with six-figure salaries and $50K bonuses but we’re supposed to believe they are queuing up to do a physically demanding minimum wage job, what complete bullsh!t
He needs to give someone a job as his groomer. He looks like an unsuccessful meth dealer.
Does he not own a mirror?
Ok idiot. Go for it. Find people who will do these jobs!?
I nominate him first in line for these jobs
Ingrate Florida man Greg got US Army to pay for the law degree he doesn't seem to use much anymore, farmed his connections to get into a safe $170k seat where his work consists mainly of saying YES and NO at the right times
Pretty much the same path as that warcriminal douche bag homelander cunt Governor DeSatan... Guillotine when
😂😂😂😂😂
What American doesn’t want a low wage, backbreaking job picking vegetables 🤔
So how does that work? Nursery schools around here are closing, the kids no longer get meals at school, certainly can’t afford medical care. Sounds more like the makings of a welfare state not an encouragement to work to me.
that's what the camps will be for: anyone needing welfare. Then, only the wealthy will remain.
And slaves.
And, no one here wants to do those jobs or want that pay or will work that hard.
OMG
These people are TRULY MORONS!!!
How many Americans are going to pick food on farms then?
Wait, I thought they needed to be deported because they’re collecting welfare. Or was it dealing drugs ? I’m so confused.
Schrodinger's immigrants
Well, now there’s more opportunity to do both 🙄
Classic 'biting off your nose to spite your face'. Food insecurity is coming folks!
Here's my prediction: No they won't. None of them.
Don’t see any lines of job applicants in the California Central Valley to pick up produce from the fields.
He “represents” my district in FL. You won’t see any lines here either.
Uhmn,…I only look like a freak, ‘cause I am! Those are horns, you see. Really. Sheesh. MAGA Making America Ghastly(as shit)Again! 👊🇺🇸💩
says one privileged white guy to another….
the jobs employers have for years been saying are short of workers...?
Right. I want to be out picking fruit, mowing lawns, and building homes all day when it's 90 degrees w/humidity & poor air quality. No one wants their jobs. We should be grateful immigrants want to come here & do the work they do.
Um, does it even occur to these numbskulls there are no americans to take these jobs? We're running (last I checked) at 4.2% unemployment, which is termed at near full. Where you think you'll find workers for these jobs???
Oh, you mean the jobs that no one wants?
Anecdotally, our small family-run farm in Wisconsin has had more cold calls from people seeking employment in the past 8 weeks, than we have had in the previous three years combined.
Greg gonna be out in the fields or on a nice hot roof.
These assholes… “If you look at the numbers…” We just did that. What we saw was fewer jobs. Then Orange fired the data scientists. Midterms CAN NOT come soon enough.
Petrified for what is happening NOW! Mid terms can't happen soon enough. We may not have a democracy by then.
Fucking idiot!
"Opportunity" is doing a lot of work here.
👏👏🎯
Wait, I thought these "illegals" were unemployed freeloaders...
