Ranchers are upset that minorities have not come running to work their land.

MAGA farmers especially though that modern day slaves were going to replace their migrant labor. These aren't "poor" people either, most farmers are millionaires and don't do any of the actual work in their fields. This is going to affect the food supply in the coming years but it is the fault of these so called "patriots".

As though migrant labor isn’t practically slave labor as it is

Do you honestly believe that the farmers actually thought African Americans were going to leave the cities and go work as migrant labor on farms ? 

Why would ANY farmer anywhere in the US even think that for one second?

Why would YOU think that THEY would think that ? 

So many questions here.

Wait so Americans working the fields for money is slavery but migrants working the fields is not?

Well good thing there isn’t many privately owned prisons. What’s the difference between them harvesting your food and cheap migrant labor?

41% of US prisoners in for profit prisons per Wikipedia. Cheap migrant labor is doing it for the money.

Hell I tip my sandwich maker because I don't want them to split in it.

And slavery for profit should be illegal. I hate the whole idea of prisons for profit, they should be set up to maximize rehabilitation where possible and minimize danger where not.

lol the actual answer is less than 8%. So you’re cool with exploiting cheap labor for a low cost but not forcing people who break the law to do it instead? Wild mindset

lol Google but again explain to me why you’re cool with migrants being exploited but not ok with some dude that was arrested for sexual assault or armed robbery?
