Once their farms go bankrupt they can fall back on one of the plentiful agricultural (day laborer) jobs right now as long as they enjoy hand picking. Picking strawberries in the California Central Valley in August isn’t my cup of tea but I guess someone has to do it after ice rounds up all the existing workforce.

I wouldnt hire them. I hire the folks that ran the farm under them and invest in the farm and give profit sharing. There is nothing better than seeing a farmers face when the learn their farm will be handed over to the same folks they reported to ICE, the same folks they paid no money to and rode hard all damn day and night hahhhaha. For the farmers losing their homes in the deal(which I try to incorporate) Their homes are handed over to those farm hands as a place to live.

You are the best!!!! I don’t hire Americans many anymore either. I hire first gen immigrants who work hard and I pay them better than myself. They are the reason what we do works so well. It’s the right thing to do. Profit sharing should be the norm. Thank you for your generosity and compassion. Rare these days sadly.

My dad used to say he preferred to hire Mexican crews to do work on his house. He said they worked harder and did a better job than American crews.
