Trump admin looks to cut farmworker pay to help industry during pandemic: report

5. Damn,, I don't understand

First you deport a bunch of workers that may have crossed over from the southern border illegally, of course, maybe something that has been going on for a long time. Now, these same illegal workers worked on the farms for low pay. Considering that a lot of the farmers voted for Trump had to have known that his policies would impact their work force.

So, now these farm workers H-2A seasonal workers - that I assume are legal have to have their pay cut, not because they are making too much, but because we want the farmers to retain more.

That damn supply and demand - just doesn't work when it interferes with the owners profit.

Why not just get rid of the H-2A seasonal workers and let the MEGA workers work at the farms and take over the jobs that the illegals were wrongfully taking from them. And that way, the farmers can pay the MEGA workers this new wage that they want to pay, and they don't have to shaft the H-2A seasonal workers.

Everybody happy now!
