You Just Can't Make This Shit UP

TL:DR

Farmer says good work is hard to find, believes workers need to be "legal", thinks path to citizenship needs addressed. YSDA has rough ideal of how many immigrants are in workforce.
 
I see a ton of potential farmers right here!

Create a national draft for anyone who had a Trump sign in their yard to go work a shift or two in the slaughter house or on a pig farm.
 
Why can’t the EBT people go work on farms instead of mooching off of people who work for a living?

INCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska’s governor pledges to work with the Trump administration to deport “criminals and terrorists” but some ranchers say deportations could create a void in agriculture when many are already short of help.

Cattlemen say good help is hard to find.

“Feeding, cleaning pens, walking pens, pulling sicks, processing, whatever it us,” Jerry Kuenning said.


USDA data shows only a third of farm workers were born in the country, the rest are immigrants. Some are naturalized citizens or having legal status but 42 percent are undocumented.

President-Elect Donald Trump vows to crack down at the border.


“We’re going to be closing the border, it’s going to be closed very strongly,” he said recently.

Speaking for himself and not any organization, Kuenning said he supports enforcing immigration laws and supports Trump on many policies but says this position could devastate agriculture.

“I'm of the opinion we'll create a real void if they're sent home,” he said. “Addressing that they need to be legal but problem is where's the line to go to be legal.”

Agriculture wants a seat at the table.

“I think everyone knows we need a workforce and agriculture uses a lot of workers from other countries. We need to make sure that discussion that ag is included and farmers and ranchers have adequate workers they need,” Jordan Dux of Nebraska Farm Bureau said.

Good help is tough to find and agriculture fuels Nebraska’s economy.

“Not just the packing plants, I'm not going to put the burden on them. Those of us in production agriculture whether that be feedlots, dairy barns, hog barns, chicken houses, yeah they've come from somewhere else,” Kuenning said.

For now he hopes policymakers find solutions that balance security with the needs of Nebraska farmers and ranchers.

“Why are they here? For a better life because somebody's providing a job,” he said.

We spoke with the staff of the Nebraska Cattlemen.

Association leaders say they support legal immigration and members would agree the system is flawed and needs to be reformed. If congress looks at H2A guest worker visas, those in the cattle sector say it needs to work year-round.

Governor Jim Pillen met with President Trump recently.

Members of the incoming administration say workforce enforcement is likely but it remains to be seen if that will include raids at agricultural employers.

Pillen signed on to a letter with 25 other governors saying they’ll work with the Trump administration, using state law enforcement and National Guard to enforce immigration policies.

When NTV sat down with the governor, he said his focus was what he called criminals and terrorists.

“I think the highest calling right now is the focus on what has caused the crisis in the last four years, terrorists and criminals is what we’re focused on,” he said.


80% of these idiots voted for the Turd but are against his main plan. It's pretty clear what the (R) stands for.
I think indentured servitude is the best option. Can't have English speaking white folk doing this work and there aren't enough anyway. It worked before. It'll work again.

Let's Make America Great Again!

So what’s your point? That we should ship the SNAP mooches in those states to locales where there’s labor shortages they can fill? I’d be all for that!!!
 
Most EBT are elderly and children. The number is around 80%. Simply do not have the physical ability to do those jobs.
Sure do have a lot of able-bodied people swiping those Louisiana Purchase cards at Albertson’s, Rouse’s, etc. Definitely enough to make up any labor shortage brought on by expelling illegal aliens.

Doubtful. Those jobs are physically demanding. Just because someone can walk a little bit doesn’t mean they can handle them. Put the average office drone at a construction site doing demo work and hauling scrap. And their body will break down quickly.

Yeah, well, apparently you haven’t spent much time in Louisiana, so you get a pass.
 
Probably correct. Alternative is we will see a massive hike in taxes to make sure all these people are gone.

Plus, Musk already is creating loop holes for the people he wants to bring in.
It is so f-ing crazy. They want to deport the people doing low pay, low skill jobs so that those are saved for Americans, but they want to permit foreigners to come in and take the high skill, high pay jobs.

"Don't take our crappy jobs from us, but please feel free to come in and take our six figure jobs!"
 
Curious, @soonerinlOUisiana you're not an Iowa fan or a Nole refugee. How on earth did you wind up here?
It was mentioned on the Oklahoma State 24/7 Politics Board. I believe by a lib who uses the name “breast man” but whom we all call “manbreasts”.

oufans .com killed their political boards long ago (during the W presidency), so several Sooners go to the Poke board to discuss politics.

How did so many FSU fans end up over here?

Same. (basically)
 
I think every time an America dies we should give a working illegal that person's name and SS#. Less paperwork. Very efficient.
we should also give them any given persons estate as well. Could you imagine some Jose gets Warren Buffets estate just for being illegal? Could you imagine some single mother just crossed the rio grande and gets Northern's entire inheritance he wanted to pass down to his wife?
