U.S. farm industry groups want President-elect Donald Trump to spare their sector from his promise of mass deportations, which could upend a food supply chain heavily dependent on immigrants in the United States illegally.
So far Trump officials have not committed to any exemptions, according to interviews with farm and worker groups and Trump’s incoming “border czar” Tom Homan.
Nearly half of the nation’s approximately 2 million farm workers lack legal status, according to the departments of Labor and Agriculture, as well as many dairy and meatpacking workers.
Only big corporations who either kiss the ring or generate a ton of money and lobby like he’ll will be exempt.
The goal of republicans is to watch out for their clan and get their beak wet doing it. If some republican lawmaker or trump can make money off this they will.
Tough shit. You fucks voted for him, this is what you get. You’d think farmers of all people wouldn’t need to be told “You reap what you sow” but here we fucking are.
Hahahaha good luck!
Fuck that.
Get what you voted for.
(Yes I’m generalizing, but I’m pretty secure that the whole industry had a majority vote. Those in the industry that don’t support it should be active within their industries to avoid such nonsense in the future.)
(And if they voted majority blue, I’m sorry and exceedingly surprised)
