About 40% of US Farm Workers Are Undocumented

"If a farmer's willing to vouch for these people in some way, Kristi, I think we're going to have to just say that's going to be good, right?"

Krasnov.

Speaking to reporters at his Tuesday Cabinet meeting, the president spoke again of the program, telling reporters that the government is "doing a work program" to "give the farmers protection they need."

Not sure how Krasnov's amnesty for farm workers will go over with his Nazi base?

What about all of the other manual labor jobs that undocumented workers perform? Did Krasnov run this by co-president Steven Miller?

About 60% of the farm workforce come from the families that own the farms. This statistic is actually a percentage of those that are hired to work on the farm.

TX/CA have large numbers of migrant workers seasonally… but those are not necessarily undocumented

and therefore, if you are latino/latina - you will be round up and deported to a gawd forsaken place and or concentration camp.

This current administration with the blessing of the republican party, including it's judicial, and congress approves it.

First they came after brown human beings, then it will be other POC.

On top of all that, slave labor maybe coming back.

He makes these public statements to be able to shift the blame to someone else.

Are the farmers going to make their fields/orchards handicap accessible?
