Mike MitchellUS Labor Dep't says immigration enforcement threatens stability of food supply
Start getting ready for higher prices.
I guess the farmers are going to need more subsidies too.
Nobody saw that coming, eh?

Bill LeeperI guess that it might have been best to not base such an important part of the economy on illegal immigrant labor. It may also have been better to not subsidize an indolent lifestyle for Americans quite so heavily. When the "American dream" consists mostly of living high on the hog while producing nothing, the results probably won't be wonderful.
In the end, Americans have to choose whether they want to continue to count on illegal immigrant labor to get things done, or if they want to get off their collective ass and do it themselves.
If about 2/3 of the bureaucrats whose purpose in life is to block progress, instead had to actually go to work to achieve progress, it would be a step in the right direction. Regards, Bill

Yeah. Either that or maybe we should have planned on it since it was the reality.
But, damn. Now, they are the evil illegal immigrants. They're either picking lettuce and apples or they are selling fentanyl.

Strawberries and lettuce are easy to grow and pick. Try producing your own food if you are worried about the price industrial farms are going to charge.
If you are unwilling to get your own hand dirty then start paying the sponsor/VISA fees to have your favorite vegetable pickers, housekeepers, nannies and roofers made legal for your cheap labor needs.

LHeym500Ann, we cannot run a nation state economy nor feed a nation state on a bunch of personal gardens.
13 October 2025, 04:58
M.ShyWe are simply spoiled
But we cannot run on exported labor and expect everything done for us forever
One day it’ll be day of reckoning
We will have to be self sufficient one of these days, it’s coming like it or not
I think technology will sooner or later replace just about all the farm labor and then what?
Never been lost, just confused here and there for month or two

Aspen Hill AdventuresLike I said, if you cannot or will not work then start paying and sponsoring your low cost laborers the right (leagl) way.

LHeym500Does not change anything I said. Nor does it change the fact they a government’s job is to manage those things to prevent social disorder.

nuteLast time I was in the US I was watching some guys cover a roof. It was blisteringly hot (FL) and I thought at the time there is not enough money in the world to pay me to do that.

I have done roofing in younger days, you simply start at dawn and you actually make good money but nowadays lots of illegal labor and cheap and again, but, it don’t reflect in cost of new roof.
That’s why lots of contractors like cheap illegal labor, less money spent, more money in profits and no complaining at all from workers.

Aspen Hill AdventuresGood luck getting congress to do anything. They cant even stop the bi-annual time change. Each side has lucrative reasons to not fix the illegal alien issue. Aholes.

Steve BertramSabotage the establishment, then point out how it does not work. A blueprint for dismantling our society, while a small group gets unfathomably wealthy.
Assholes indeed.
