The farmers are about to have their FAFO moment soon apparently.
Sidesseppping the current political issue for a moment, I have a couple of questions.
- What did these rubby red agricultural states do before? Has their source of labor always been undocumented immigrants? I don't think so. I remember transplants from these states back in the 80s and 90s commenting that they had never seen in person Hispanics before they moved to California. So what was their source of labor before? I know that in California, the Latino labor force has been the backbone of the state's labor force since the dawn of time.
- Are the Latino migrant workers fleeing the state and maybe the country? Why isn't MAGA declaring victory over that?
