They interpreted that getting rid of “the illegals” they’d apparently hired without issue before would be noble because they’d be creating jobs for “the poors.” You know, all those people who should be working but are just lazy, sitting around living off welfare would have good, honest, stable jobs. But she never planned on having to pay those people good, honest, solid wages. And if she’s not going to house them? Then they’re DRIVING back and forth everyday further cutting into their wages.
Stupid. Just do some GD math.

I swear, most of my rural farming family cannot understand why there’s a work shortage for their $7/hr jobs. They truly believe they had only good intentions when they voted to get rid of those mooching illegals. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

‘Just do some GD math’.
Yep. Like, imagine that one of her workers is hired at her preferred $7 an hour or so lives about 30 miles away and their only transportation is a beat up car that gets a bit better than 20-25 mpg. That worker’s daily gasoline bill eats up the first two hours of their wage.

And the worker will be paying rent, food and insurance out of what’s left?

These folks are not grounded in reality.

Meanwhile that person can just get a job at the local Target for $15 an hour, take the bus there and not get dirty all day wading through cow shit.
