(6,130 posts)Once the crack down started taking place and the undocumented workers went into hiding or left the states for safer places, it started dawning on these numbskulls that they were "poo pooing in their mess kits".....to utilize an old phrase. Farmers in Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia had a meltdown when there were NO WORKERS to pick tomatoes, peaches or process catfish. And the local out of work white folks had no interest or intention of grabbing those newly available jobs. So tomatoes rotted and farmers got a chance to rethink their position on what to do about undocumented workers.
Elections have consequences and when someone talks about deporting 11 million people that you rely on for your business, you should believe them and consider how that might impact your ability to do business. Dumbasses....
