Do you remember the illegal alien who murdered that poor girl in Iowa? The plant he was working at was the facility of a major GOP donor. What’s more is he played fast & loose with the immigration check platform he used. I’m guessing that’s the case with a lot of the truly awful, horrific cases we read about with the alien criminals. But those are really exceptions. The factories & Big Ag farms where these people work are generally GOP donor owned.

And please everyone with the harrumphing - do you have family & neighbors shopping at WalMart, Target, & big box groceries? They buy from people who employ these people. You mean what you say? Go shop organic with the hippy progressives who truck this stuff from a couple counties away. Go to the farmers markets & stock up and Buy American. Sure you’ll pay more but it will be fresh, American & extra-expensive.

Most MAGA’s don’t put their money where their mouth is.   There is a guy on x named Derek something that likes to call out numerous MAGA “influencers” that source merch from sweatshops, it’s pretty funny.

Even here, Strike claimed he had a buddy in the construction industry that “had to” hire illegals.”  Except he doesn’t.  If there is a demand for companies that don’t use illegal labor, you can advertise that fact and people should be willing to pay more.

which to your point is still probably not enough for many of the locals to do it.

Just one other thing. There’s a skill component to this. It’s not easy. This is also true of the China manufacturing jobs. People don’t just drop their keyboards or leave the unemployment rolls qualified to do this stuff.

So you said that Democrats farmers pay people more than conservative farmers to do this work. Where is the data on that coming from?

I would like to see that data, I agree. However libs/progs/DemSocs are realky clear about the living wage. I don’t agree on it but ideologically you’re barking up the wrong tree, and it’s an ideological issue not a data one. If you want anecdotal proof go to a farmers market & talk to the people in the stalls.

I’ve posted this previously in here, it’s a little dated but agriculture is the second most right-leaning industry in terms of donations to Republicans on this list .

You said it. Not me. Show me what you have in your assertions. And hell, I want proof if you are saying something is happening. Libs are a clear about the message of "living wages", but they don't supply it. And they tax the shlt out of people. Someone a few weeks back brought up this chick mikie sherrill I think in NJ. I looked it up and she wants to increase taxes to social security, sales tax, and a fockload of other taxes.

Those liberal states  like NJ and CA and the rest, all want massive taxes and fock the people while nasty pelosi goes to hairdressers and ignores her own rules of wearing masks, and newsom is out not wearing masks at restaurants when his orders were to wear masks in public. And they love the fock out of taxes. 

And then they cry "living wages!! "

Let's support some foreign wars like the liberals loved doing, and giving free healthcare to illegals. Great focking ideas. We have a zillion homeless Americans and you all want to spend tax dollars on foreigners. 

You are all just wrong. Wrong.
