Now We're Talking- ICE Arrests Farmworkers, Sparking Fears

[Geaux4it]

Round all of them up and send them back to Mexico with a fresh American cardboard box for their new home

Jesus Aceves was driving three of his fellow farmworkers to the tomato fields in the early-morning darkness when he saw lights flash behind him.

ICE agents pulled him over and asked for his license, registration and insurance and, most forebodingly, whether the men were in the United States legally.

Aceves and his passengers were taken to an immigrant detention facility. But none of them had been the target of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Three of the men had no criminal records. The most serious blots on the 44-year-old Aceves’ record were several convictions — the most recent in 2012 — for driving without a license.

That morning, an ICE spokesman said, agents went to a Kern County residence where they thought an immigration target lived. One of the men who got into Aceves’ car matched that person’s description, he said. The ICE agents followed.

Wonder how the farmer feels? He's gonna have to double the wages or even triple them to get Americans to do that job. Rightfully so.

 

[TNHarley]

Good get em all!

 

[Geaux4it]

I could care less if they pass the cost on to the consumer either. Besides, I grow most if not all my vegetables anyway

The farmer will let the crops die. White people can not pick or even weed vegetables in the field with any value. Lettuce will just go sky high in price and those low wage states will not be able to afford vegetables to eat.

Me too. Been gardening myself for 40 years. Plus no proven cancer causing pesticides.

Oh well, they need to get another job or grow their own, or do without

The answer is pretty easy, really. Send the illegals back to where they came from. Cancel social welfare support for citizens. I reckin' lots of folks will freely get off their asses to pick in the fields if that's the only way they can feed themselves. A win-win for the American middle class and the farmers.

The more obese the red states get, the less time those fools will be around affecting policy. There’s always a silver lining.

the right likes its vegetables.

that's why they keep electing them.

 

[Two Thumbs]

Less revenue. More foreclosures. Big Ag will come in and start farming with Drones and Robots.

 

[TomParks]

Boo hoo....liberals will pay more for sprouts and watercress

 

[initforme]

No american should be picking crops for less than 20 bucks per hour.

so now replacing workers with bots is bad

Crops are already dying in the central valley due to liberal peace creeps who are protecting a little fish called 'smel't. Therefore, farmers can't run their irrigation pumps because the minnows get caught up in the pipe

So Cali lets the land turn to dust

Fish or farms? A new battle rages over California water

WASHINGTON


Fish or farms?

The House this week will tackle the question, which for years has triggered a tug-of-war between growers and environmentalists. It plans to vote on a Republican-authored plan aimed at sending more of northern California’s water to the Central Valley farmers who say they badly need it.

But California’s two U.S. senators, both Democrats, vow to block the bill in that chamber, saying it would bypass environmental safeguards and override state law. Gov. Jerry Brown also opposes the bill.

The bill, said Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., in an interview, “does not strike the right balance because there’s no reason that we have to accept a false choice and somehow weaken the Endangered Species Act in order to be smarter with water policy.”
