California Farmers Backed Trump, but Now Fear Losing Field Workers

Posted by ty97 Feb 9 '17, 09:06

"As for his promises about cracking down on illegal immigrants, many assumed Mr. Trump’s pledges were mostly just talk. But two weeks into his administration, Mr. Trump has signed executive orders that have upended the country’s immigration laws. Now farmers here are deeply alarmed about what the new policies could mean for their workers, most of whom are unauthorized, and the businesses that depend on them."

HAHA

        Mind you, I get that I will be lowly impacted here. I'm not heartless to the pain that will be caused for anyone, regardless of their vote choice - ty97 Feb 9, 09:24 2
