"We are a nation that doesn’t understand how food reaches our tables. American agriculture depends on a hardworking, dedicated immigrant workforce. About three-quarters of all crop workers were born outside the country. Since the 1990s, at least half are not authorized to legally work in the U.S., according to government statistics. In an era of high unemployment, these undocumented workers have become scapegoats for our nation’s economic woes. Many people blame the high unemployment rate on foreigners, who they accuse of taking jobs away from citizens. Movements are afoot to remove them from the country."Arturo S. Rodriguez
America is built on exploiting cheap labor. Slavery, European immigrants, Asians, East Asians, Mexicans, and the biggest communist godless country in the world, China.
The disconnect between reality and political talking points is staggering.
