We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

He's not entirely wrong...
From the USDA:
The largest share of crop farmworkers in the U.S. are unauthorized workers according to government data.
What is so contentious about this, exactly?
Because its undercutting American wages and benefits. Because it creates an underclass of people. Because it hurts the American worker. You know why wages are so low and unions cant do jack shit?
Because we let these companies import cheap labor, who dont speak the language, with zero consequences. And they face zero difficulties because we just let these illegals walk right in.
Have you ever tried to form a union with people who dont speak the same language? Who are grateful just to be here, and have zero legal recourse? Its near impossible.
Diversity is not strength, its robbery.
Right, because so many Americans want to pick corn. We're just chompin' at the bit to do literally back-breaking, heart-bursting, knee-destroying work like picking strawberries and zucchini.
C'mon. Who are you trying to kid?
...this is the whole history of American free enterprise. Now you want to stop the importation of cheap labor? Maybe we should've thought about that before we made it a part of the Constitution and other bedrock institutions. Economically, these farms would be fools to hire more expensive labor when they can get away with paying significantly less under the table.
Where diversity is not strength, sameness compounds.
