ALABAMA: “The verdict is in. The state’s tough immigration law just isn’t working out… American workers not mentally or physically fit enough to last one day…”

Most white Americans, regardless of status, have been somewhat conditioned to believe that those jobs should be done by people of color.

The workers are grossly underpaid for the hard labor they do. They deserve more appreciation & to be treated well. Many in Southern states voted for a 🇷🇺MAGA platform on a position of hate and bigotry or did not vote. Now we all have to suffer the buffoonery of trump. Kick trump out.

It hard to not wish that those Trump supporting farmers lose everything they have because people tried to tell them this was going to happen. They took advantage of those immigrants paying them so little and their vote for Trump took their workers away. It will only get worse. They deserve it!

When I notice Latino roofers in my are, I used to shout up to them, en español, to turn up the music! Not anymore. Drones are searching for the cleanest, best organized roofers, for bounty. Many Latino roofers are migrants because it's well paid work that moves around from tornado to tornado.

To a point. Keep in mind, though, that 44% of workers in this country are not paid a living wage regardless of race or gender. We haven't had a minimum wage increase since 2009. The cost of living has gone up more than 300% since 1980 while wages have only increased 24% in the same period.

Just out of curiosity, is this based on an eight hour day? If so, that would be 9.38-12.50 an hour. For a ten hour day (more like a farm day) it would be 7.50-10.00 an hour. What are the actual wages for these jobs? Are there benefits? Taxes paid?

Totally agree! Back in the 90s DeKalb was hitting our schools hard for "workers" ten hour days, $3.25 an hour that was taxed. Talk about cheap labor.

Wages vary. It frequently depends on the crop. Sometimes you're paid by the hour. Sometimes you're paid by the piece. Sometimes you're paid by the bushel. Sometimes you're paid by the field. Regardless of the method of determining payment, they aren't paid enough.

It's a vicious decline. The foreign workers leave (or, in the USA, get deported). Crops rot because of the scarcity of workers. Farmers plant less - to match their picking teams. More food has to be imported. Prices go up. Oh yes, and in the USA, add the tariffs 😳 So much WINNING EVERYWHERE.

In one Ohio farm, there are No tassels on the corn stalks!Due to something I don’t remember. But all the acres need to be tilled - maybe stalks used for something else. 🤷♀️

When topping corn the tassels are pulled out. That’s topping corn. Then you don’t remove the tassel on the 5th row which is called the bull row. Bees pollinate the bull row.

And, if you look at it in perspective, the poor give more to charity based on percentage of income than oligarchs and the rest of the 10%. If someone worth $50 million drops a million bucks off at some charity, they won't even miss it. Poor people are more likely to share what little they have.

Hey 👋 to both of you. You are both making correct points. May I add that migrant workers pay taxes with ZERO protections. We will suffer without them, and a vote to deport was SOOO WRONG. But the exploitation is criminal. Caesar Chavez was right to fight for field workers for ivermectin 100yrs.

But, it is about 120+ years since we came. I am third generation, and my daughter fourth. You should see what those “kids” are doing and they have kids. The family tree keeps growing.

3/4 of my family immigrated from England/Scotland/Wales in the 1850s. One grandfather immigrated from Denmark in 1920s.

And judging by your picture, you have contributed a lot to this country. This is why we need immigrants, we need the influx of new talent, new genes, and new ideas. I think that maybe some of the MAGA need to find a new country and they will make more contributions than they can make here.

Another good reason to come here. Bet your family has contributed a lot to our country and culture.

Divisively dividing we the people is the Nazi game plan. For now it is immigrants, who will be next? "Propaganda must facilitate the displacement of aggression by specifying the targets for hatred". Joseph Goebbels

First they came... for the socialists and I did not speak out-because I was not a socialist, ... Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out- because I was not a Jew, Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me. -Martin Niemờller RESIST TYRANNY!

Mine all came before the Rev War and believe me they didn’t want any “others” especially Catholics and now our Supreme Court is full of them.

No, we have had this bigot problem every time a new group of immigrants has come here for a new life, and although we have had actions against the new groups, eventually they were accepted and become part of the quilt. Every new group has become an important contributor to our wonderful diversity.

Yes of course but I love to point that out to my 2nd generation Catholic Italian and Pole friends seem to be the most vocal about immigration. How soon we forget.

It is easy to forget and not remember how awful conditions can be today. The fact is that we need the immigrants, we have already depended on immigration. I don’t know how to convince them because their reaction has been fashioned by lies from the bigots. Trumps have always been bigoted.

Are these the same people who voted for a man who thinks we had airports in the 1770s? Not airplanes mind you but full blown colonial airports!!!! Yeah, going forward you don’t really need to tell us they aren’t mentally tough enough. That much is clear!!!

Please God, let me see just one video of some ponderous, weak, pseudo-Christian fascist fuckwad picking tomatoes or any other fruit or vegetable for an entire day for pennies. I wanna see that.
