"Whine" seems harsh. Farmers, like truckers, are essential to our very existence. If they are upset about something, and call out for help, we need to listen and respect them enough to believe them.

Always the extremes

200K LEGAL migrant workers go to Florida each year to work.

They can take advantage of legal migrant workers. You know like they used to. Never should have become dependent of illegal activity.

Democrats pushing for slavery 2.0. Democrats are still mad they lost the Civil War.

But that doesn't fit the agenda of the left and open borders does it ?

H2-A visa holders get paid an adverse minimum wage - in Florida it's over $14/hour and averages over $16/hour nationally - in order to not undercut local workers. Undocumented workers are subject to that. Why do you think they are still being hired?

Why is it that so many people can't see the repercussions of their decisions and actions.

What did DeSantis THINK would happen?

This question should be directed at those who are allowing the flood of illegal immigrants into the US.

Although I suspect that they know exactly what the repercussions are going to be. Maybe not so much those who vote for these people.

I’m not aware of any anti-immigrant laws in Florida.

I am, however, aware of laws in place to discourage employers from hiring foreign nationals who are not authorized to work in the United States.

He's following the laws on illegal immigration. Why do you have a problem with that?

We are already suffering from the over $100 billion a year that illegals are costing us. The left doesn't want to talk about that though, do they?

We are already helping them with the unlimited H-2A visas for legal workers to come here and pick crops. What's the problem?
