The fallout from Trump's war on immigrants is reaching as far as the farming communities in Alabama.....
I get that the situation is more palatable if we can feel some schadenfreude, but to play devils advocate, where does it say that this guy is a Trump supporter? Quite possible that he had the sense n forethought not to support trump, it just wouldn't matter because of the state he's in. Granted he's a fat white farmer in Alabama so the odds are good that hes a trump supporter. But I'm a chubby Tennessee part time farmer thats definitely not so ya never know.
All I heard was he supports immigration laws but not this one. Which to him probably means he supports how immigration was previously enforced, ie not uniformly or harshly enough to hurt the prospects of hiring a workforce. I mean don't get me wrong the dudes probably ignorant about a lot of things but its a big assumption to say hes responsible for trump. A lot of small farmers have historically been socialist, communist sympathizers or at least left leaning. My dad was a democrat up until clinton for some reason. I think Jimmy Carter did right by farmers and had them on his side but at some point after 9/11 n the christian jihad hysteria they fell back in with the religious right again. Dad’s a reactionary racist moron for sure but #notallfarmers ?
45 supporters supported him against their own best interests.
This is yet another example of how they screwed themselves, and
everyone else, by voting for that piece of filth.
They were warned. They chose to ignore those warnings.
Now, we ALL are paying the price. Literally.
I doubt if there's a single food product that has not had illegal immigrant labor involved at some point.
