No such thing as an undocumented worker. Illegals are being hired to increase the farmer's profits as they pay them less than a visa worker and don't have to provide them with housing, health increase,etc. Is this news to you?

Oh knock it off! Crop picking isn't a career job for Americans, it's only seasonal work and that's why we have the unlimited visas for for foreign workers. Americans who live in rural areas do a lot of farm work to.

As for slaughter houses, one was raided awhile back for illegals and Americans lined up around the corner to fill those jobs.

Rick Scott wanted to use prisoners as firefighters. Maybe DeSantis can use them to pick crops. When I lived in Florida, I did see "chain gangs" picking up garbage on the roads.

It's not good. They are trying to get people to tell them not to leave for other states.
You are a liar. DeSantis never even suggested making it illegal for immigrants to work in Florida.

Get a grip, the discussion is how good GOP farmers in Florida are being hurt by their Governors knee jerk action. They are the ones who was using the undocumented workers not the Democrats just like the Animal Processing Facilities in Iowa that got busted last month for underage, undocumented worker, solid GOP voters.
