School district, VA hospital, military base, state college... above median pay and way better benefits too lol, the private sector is a huge scam

It's also why for these towns the next college football game is the most exciting entertainment.

To hire them they would have to attract them by paying more, which means they would have to charge more and then their produce wouldn't be competitive, because everyone relies on nigh-slave labor.

I helped build and renovate the Lantern that they speak of in this article. I worked there for 6 months to help my friends get it up and running. This article is absolutely amazing at explaining the blatant hypocrisy. I haven't been there in 6 years and I couldn't be happier.

Is there any way to get ICE to target Nunes' and the other farmers' dairies, but not the workers? That would be ideal.

You could certainly have different orders from the executive branch, ICE operates under the purview of the president. Ultimately though if they actually cracked down on the people running farms for hiring undocumented workers they'd quit hiring undocumented workers at some point, there's really no way to get around the current system that doesn't hurt the undocumented workers.

it's fun to remind ppl who rant about illegal immigrants how the problem would be much easier to solve with tough enforcement on employers than cruelty to immigrants. but the GOP doesn't do that bc they don't really care and businesses love cheap exploitable labor then if they agree we should crack down on employers tell them how agriculture melted down when they tried a law like that in alabama, so be prepared for food prices to skyrocket

There was a period early on where slavers would go around the pacific islands and buy or kidnap natives to work on the plantations, but after they began surviving a few years and forming communities the practice stopped because the idea of these people living in a white Australia was too sickening. I think a lot of them were ultimately deported to random islands, just to be safe.
