They would rather beg than do the jobs immigrants do.

Well, the people who allegedly stole jobs from the local citizens are no more now. Time for doing the dirty jobs themselves now.

Ok, so when are the snowflakes going to go get their lost jobs? 

We all knew this would happen.

Trump supporters: The migrant workers are stealing our jobs! MAGA! Go back to your country!

Farmers: Hey guys, I need people to take care of my farms. Americans, where are you?

Trump supporters: Nah, I don't work in farms. It's below me.

Farmers:

I definitely think prisoners should be employed instead

With such a high homeless population you'd think these jobs would be advertised to legal American citizens

Meh, the article is trying to put the blame on Trump's immigration policy but the fact is we've been having shortages for years in California  and while part of the blame is due to a lower number of immigrants crossing the border, that drop was already happening during the Obama years well before Trump was in office. I'm sure Trump getting elected isn't helping matters much, but this problem goes way beyond the scope of his policies.

Also, lol at this quote near the end of the article

"It's unclear exactly how widespread the labor shortage is for farmers throughout the country, which would have a bigger impact on prices consumers pay. Ultimately, drought and flooding have a more significant impact on farms. Low oil prices could also offset any impact of the worker shortage."

Lol, you know that's the next step. When they don't have immigrants to blame, they are going to move to the poorest of the poor.

As is the conservative agenda. I don't agree with everything but there are certain changes that look terrible on the outside but overall are positive in the long run

Like ****ing up our environment, taking healthcare away from the poor and elderly, closing down Planned Parenthood, discouraging the best and brightest from moving or studying here, sending immigrants back that have been here for decades so that we are creating families in poverty, isolation to the point that we aren't seen as the top world power or leader anymore? Not to mention, the threats that we already see against the LGBT community. Yeah...lots of positives going on! 

Lets get those homeless folks off the streets, many who are mentally ill and won't be helped by a Republican healthcare system, and throw them out in the fields. That'll work!

1. There are common sense regulations that protect the environment thankfully, I hope they aren't taken away. That would be drastic.

2. There needs to be some sort of healthcare safety net for the young and elderly, and I very much support free clinics for the poor, as long as vast and unnecessary expenditures aren't present. I went to a free clinic the other day, in fact. It made me appreciate the human spirit and the need for places like this.

3. I support Planned Parenthood because it provides a service that's remarkably difficult to find elsewhere. I don't know how I feel about how it's paid for and if there are illegal practices or whatever, but for now I support it.

4. I don't agree with sending immigrants who have been here for that long back. Hey, if they're here already, let em stay. Just don't set a precedent.

5. The rest of the world isn't an intrinsic scale of success for the U.S. to follow, that goes for any nation at any period of time. All of the best nations had unique characteristics. I for one love America.

6. I hate when conservatives go after the LGBT community.
