2/2 After #prosecution of the #Trump admin & his complicit cronies they shld replace our cheap #ImmigrantLabor. Those spoiled, over-rewarded crooks need a humbling tour of duty bent over in the hot sun picking food, or like I said during the Trump trials, scrubbing Trump property floors and toilets.

10/11 Federal agencies lost thousands of firefighters due to poor pay and burnout. Government increasingly relies on private contractors, including immigrant workers.

Why were so many Thai farmers among the hostages held by Hamas? Israel says it has retrieved the body of a 35-year-old Thai hostage who was abducted into Gaza during the Oct. 7, 2023, attack that sparked the war.

A Human Rights Watch report in 2015 said they often…
“were paid salaries significantly below the legal minimum wage, forced to work long hours in excess of the legal maximum, subjected to unsafe working conditions and denied their right to change employers.”

Opinion | How Trump’s Deportation Plans Could Blow Up the Food System and Increase Migrant Labor Instead of cutting back on undocumented immigrants, the new administration will be forced to provide more visas to keep food flowing to stores.

Optics of people being detained and deported along with logistics notwithstanding there is a fundamental issue with Trump's deportation plans - the economy. The #GOP will not go along when #farmers rally for #immigrantlabor and global trade is disrupted, especially with #Texas' $100.2 billion trade.

Meat, Dairy, Eggs & Vegetable prices are going to skyrocket when Trump deports all the laborers. #ImmigrantLabor
Good Luck getting Prisoners to do labor.
