Juan has spent 10 years harvesting sweet potato in CA. While the machine picks up most of the vegetables he often has to get on his knees and dig out the sweet potatoes the machine left behind. He does this up to 10 hours a day 5 days a week. #WeFeedYou
Q: Republicans are going to swarm to those jobs after they deport them, right? A: No, they'll send their kids.
🙏🏼🙏🙏🏾🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏🏿
Thank you to all those who work hard. In the fields, on the roads, in the factories. You are an integral part of our economy.
thank you for your labors, Juan.
Oh boy; looking forward to seeing some T voters doing this job in a year's time.....
Querido Juan, tu trabajo es desgarrador. Comemos batatas y nunca pensamos en lo duro que trabajas para cosecharlas. Este año, te recordaré. (Dear Juan, your work is heartbreaking. We eat sweet potatoes and never think of how hard you work to harvest them. This year, I will remember you. #TheyFeedUs)
Thank you Juan🙏🏻
I am thankful for our agricultural industry. We need them.
📎❤️
❤️Thank you for showing this to us. Most of us take our food for granted, not considering the people who work so hard to bring it to us.
That’s tough work. I hope he is well paid for it.
Is Juan an American citizen?
Yeah.....they're not "essential workers"......we are in trouble America if the bigots get their way. Farmers will really be in for it but you get what u ask for.
My grandfather had me doing stuff like that in my school holiday. My father was less fortunate.
Thank you 😊
thank you and yours for all you do
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Do you really think a white American could do this job??

Everyone should read this!
I didn’t know any of this. I read the NPR article and it’s so enlightening. Thank you for the taking the time to share.
Yea I’ve done it lol.
Could - yes Would they - no. We need farm workers and we need to pay people fair wages. To target immigrants is embarrassing given what our country is founded on.
We would not eat if regular white people did it
@lincduffy.bsky.social White people could do this job. The problem is, they don't want to. Wouldn't last a day if they tried.
I sure wouldn’t! I’m a wimpy white girl and freely admit I couldn’t last a day.
Could? Yes. The question is would.
🙏🏽 Gratitude, Juan. And all who provide life for us.
If Trump follows through on his mass deportation plan of undocumented workers, there will be a deafening hue and cry heard throughout the USA from agricultual corporations that hire people like Juan who will no longer be there to do the work that Americans don't want to do.
Gracias, Juan!
Thank you ! You are greatly appreciated 💙
👍👍👍
Like magaturds want to do this work. Half of them are physically unable & the other half think they're too good for it. They have no idea how expensive food is going to be if these mass deportations happen.
And according to Trump and his scumbag followers, this is a dangerous criminal who is poisoning the blood of America and needs to be sent to a concentration camp before being deported. I wish the best for Juan.
Thank you for your labor Juan
Digging with his hands.
💚
Thanks, Juan! Praying for y'all! ✊🏼✊🏿
The real heroes
🙌🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽
My thought after "mass deportation" these jobs will become forced prison labor. More private prison and more fasle incarceration. Also, you'll be forced to do this to receive any government assistance. I hope I'm wrong.
No, I think you’re exactly right.
Grateful and thankful,always. ❤️💝
In the hot California ☀️ and earth.
I wonder how much you would have to pay the average American to do that job. We probably wouldn't be able to afford sweet potatoes.
Why are you assuming Juan isn’t American?
Well, you've given me something to think about.
None of them :(
Ninguna: el objetivo de todo eso no es deportar a nadie, sino a quitar los derechos más básicos para empujar más las condiciones hacia casi la esclavitud.
Es maldad. Solo puede producir más maldad.
God bless Juan, thank you sir. Protect farm workers.
Gracias enormes, Juan. Que su familia siempre tenga bendiciones. 🩵
We see you.
💙
Let’s see an obnoxious, over weight, immigrant hating, Maga dude do this.
So we should celebrate the new slave class of foreign-born workers while under cutting American working class
💙 I appreciate Juan.
And how much does he get paid? His benefits?? Medical insurance??? Someone help Juan.
Taking the jobs Americans want.
I wish there was an easy link to post this on Facebook with a picture of Juan.
We post on a number of social media platforms. Here is the Facebook link: fb.watch/w34UylvJkJ/
Thank you, Juan!
This is the kind of job that R's think other Americans will do?🤔 What are they smoking?🤔
Why did the Blue team try to outflank the Red… to the right on these issues?
We need to remember this as we’re enjoying our sweet potato soufflé on Thanksgiving. Thank you Juan!
Pay him more.
America is in for a huge shock on food prices if Trump goes ahead with plans !!!
This is something that I am willing to bet most MAGA have no idea about let alone a clue. Thank you for sharing and these people are important to us all.
Deporting hard working immigrants like Juan will cause inflation at the grocery store. Somehow, that hasn't figured into the thinking of Trump voters whose main concern is the high cost of living.
Thank you every day.
Whatever happened to the UFW? Much needed now. Used to be in the CA news every single day. Has membership slipped? Serious question.
Only we know how hard they work MAGA has no empathy!!! They just care about the price of eggs and gas !! Well FAFO!!!!!
Wish we Dems had published an ad with Juan. I heard there was a green card backup and there is a huge delay in issuing green cards. How many will be deported because of this????
Nowhere does it say that Juan is an immigrant, you’re just racist.
Ah, a shit disturber from Twitter. You purposely missed the point about farm workers number one. Number two, his name is Juan Rivera and came to the US from Sinaloa, Mexico using the H2A program. Our hats our off to Juan.
Thank you, Juan! I appreciate you!
We can’t do #Thanksgiving without farm workers: Make a donation during this season of thanks and giving and help fund change all year long. ufw.org/thanksgiving2024 or paypal.com/paypalme/ufwdonate #WeFeedYou
Republicans NOW WANT Don to exempt ILLEGAL farm workers. What hypocrites !!! Everyone wants an exemption -- when it benefits them! That's why our BORDER POLICY is broken. Republicans play politics with the lives of Human Beings !!!
16% of US farm workers are ILLEGAL ... due to a BROKEN immigration system; not the fault of hard working human beings. I'm UNION ... go on STRIKE !!! Watch "A Day Without a Mexican" ... Americans need to LEARN how much immigrants do for us. We're very spoiled !!!
Wait don't tell me. You're an activist group pushing amnesty of illegal aliens even though farm labor is supposed to be through the H2A Agricultural Visa.
Thanks to Juan and all the hardworking people doing this labor intensive work😍
He terk er jerbs!!!
