Farmers fear losing immigrant workers under Trump crackdown

Source: ap

SALEM, Ore. (AP) -- The head of Bethel Heights Vineyard looked out over the 100 acres of vines her crew of 20 Mexicans had just finished pruning, worried about what will happen if the Trump administration presses ahead with its crackdown on immigrants.

From tending the plants to harvesting the grapes, it takes skill and a strong work ethic to produce the winery's pinot noir and chardonnay, and native-born Americans just aren't willing to work that hard, Patricia Dudley said as a cold rain drenched the vineyard in the hills of Oregon.

"Who's going to come out here and do this work when they deport them all?" she asked.

President Donald Trump's hard line against immigrants in the U.S. illegally has sent a chill through the nation's agricultural industry, which fears a crackdown will deprive it of the labor it needs to plant, grow and pick the crops that feed the country.

Yup and fruits and vegetables would be out of sight of most families in the US.

If you believe that you must believe a $15 minimum wage would hurt the American consumer

The article is about wine not whether or not Jr will get his 5 daily allowances of fruits and veggies. :lol:

He is right...you fuckers would cry like pussys about produce prices.

There is a sign in our local grocery store that due to California droughts the supply of lettuce has been impacted. A small head of romaine lettuce is currently $2.97. I can only imagine what it would be if people were being paid $15 / hr to pick the lettuce.

Exactly....Same price here and of course illegals work for less money...I can't believe anybody is surprised by that.
