Its intersting that Trump announced a few weeks ago that ICE would give farm and hospitality workers more leeway (for his own personal gain). Yesterday ICE went to FarmLand California and instigated a mass deportation event, all because the Orange One doesn't like Gavin Newsom. What does that tell you about the man?🤔

That yet again, he has proven himself untrustworthy, capricious, vengeful, short sighted and a hypocrite. And totally unprepared for doing the job at hand with any sort of long term 'good of the country' as motivator, vs keeping his coffers full and him one step ahead of the law....

If it wasn't so obviously nefarious and detrimental to the ccountry and he was just a fictional villain I'd call him shrewed and strategic.

He set up the pieces on the board perfectly by positioning his loyal minions in every branches

of government in positions that they aren't remotley qualified to do.

Bloody Brilliant if this were some Ian Fleming novel, a disaster for the country in the real world.

She should also mention that the biggest supporters of Trump and MAGA in California are billionaire 'farmers' - those who own thousands upon thousands of acres

Great quick class on the relationship between farmers, undocumented workers, and Washington’s decades long failure to reform and update immigration laws and processes.

This is so interesting. It never occurred to me the farm lobby would advocate against immigration and pro deportation when so many immigrants work on farms but this explanation makes sense. A broken immigration system helps them.

Thank you for sharing this. I had no idea how corrupt this is. I appreciate her honesty. She needs to run for office to change this!! Kidnapping people normally is NOT THE US! But to know that this is self created out of greed, these are people. Stop concentration camps and treating people like animals.

This is a phenomenal post/video. I dont know of it enough to break the spell, but I hope it gets shared far and wide. We can stop the exploitation of undocumented workers (a moral mandate) while improving agriculture and other industries (economically smart).

Not much can be done without relentlessly rocking the boat until things change. Do we have the cajones, leadership and the motivation to do it. Look up "Bandh" on Wikipedia.

That’s my viewpoint, but you’ve explained it so well in ways I haven’t been able to do. Thank you—keep sharing your solid insights!

This is the best explanation of why we are where we are today. What you describe and explain is real and realistic. How unreal and hypocritical is it that Trump administration is going to solve issue for farmers with the work requirement in place for Medicaid recipients. Children and adults. Problem solved. You are welcome.
