Should ICE raid the Nunes dairy farm in Northwest Iowa?

Report: Devin Nunes' family's farm is in northwest Iowa, not California
Robin Opsahl, Des Moines Register

U.S. Rep. Devin Nunes' family farm has been in northwest Iowa for more than a decade and may employ undocumented immigrants, according to Esquire.

Nunes' parents and brother moved their dairy farm operation from Tulane, California, to Sibley, Iowa, in 2007, according to an Esquire story published Sunday. Nunes, a conservative California politician who has mentioned his family farm often, has not publicly acknowledged that the farm moved out of state.

The story alleges the Nunes' family farm uses undocumented labor, citing multiple unnamed sources who live in Sibley, including one who claimed to be undocumented and to have worked for the Nunes' operation, NuStar Farms.

Nunes, a stalwart supporter of President Donald Trump, has supported moderate immigration reform policies such as giving amnesty to many undocumented people living and working in the country, but has not pushed back on Trump and Republican calls for more deportation and resources for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, or ICE, in recent years.

1. No sympathy for Nunes, but I won't wish this on the workers. Nt

3. me either

[Algernon Moncrieff]

4. At one level, I don't either

But if you read the Esquire piece (it's been posted elsewhere on DU), the dairy farmers as much as admit they can't make it without questionable labor. Now, I've met dairy farmers in that part of the world, and by the by they are nice folks who contribute to delicious frozen deserts. But they are nice folks who vote overwhelmingly for Steve King and voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump. Nunes is a Trump stooge. Since these folks voted for Draconian immigration laws, let them suffer the consequences.

2. Raid Nune's useless farm daily and fine him $500k per raid.

He'll go out of business for fake farming.

5. it would be irresponsible not to do so

However, given that he is a U.S. Representative, Nunes should be put in a cage instead of any children found on the farm.

Deport the cattle.
