In response to "California Farmers Backed Trump, but Now Fear Losing Field Workers" by ty97

I saw a thing awhile back about dairy farmers and how a ridiculous number (80-90%?) of their workers are undocumented.

because no one else wants to do the jobs at the prices the farmers can afford and which are back breaking and labor intensive.

If the crackdown of illegals does happen as expected, these farmers will be unable to get workers and since milk is federally regulated won't be able to adjust prices to compensate. Probably resulting in them closing up shop. Milk could become a scarcity as a result.

      - 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

        oh yes, I was including the non-voters in "vote choice" category - ty97 Feb 9, 09:28
