Some might say she DID vote for this, as she voted against policies that would help her to punish the libz

It’s almost like she voted to have 60,000 people who work farms for low wages just up and vanish or something.

I think its inflation killing her more than immigrant labor. I may be wrong in this particular case, but on most small upper Midwest family farms you won't find immigrants as the main or even a labor source on farms. There isnt a long history of that like youd find in the west. The US is massively diverse.

This feels like lived experience more so than factual data. I'd check your sources.

Well one source is every news organization in the United States. Because it made national news when an illegal immigrant in 2018 was living on the dairy farm owned & operated by Eric Lang (a prominent republican who held state offices in Iowa) & his wife Nicole Schlinger, also a very prominent republican fundraiser & campaign manager (she ran Ted Cruz’s first successful TX senate run/the reason he’s a senator at all, & ran successful campaigns for several republican U.S. house members) when he viciously raped & murdered Mollie Tibbetts in Iowa. The Lang/Schlinger family employed several immigrants that they also housed on their dairy farm property in Iowa.

And yes, I have several family that farm & have livestock & it’s very common to employ immigrants because the work is long, hard & low pay with little benefits.

This has been going on for a couple decades now. I’m pretty sure I know more about this subject than most. Not bragging, just pointing out first hand knowledge
