I fundamentally and completely reject the idea that America will not thrive without illegal foreign labor. Or that we cannot have thriving farms without illegal foreign labor. It’s an insult to every part of our heritage, to generations of our families that bled to build what we have today. Actual farmers, who are following the rules and doing it the right way, don't want or need illegal foreign labor. They want to be paid fairly for what they’re growing. They want their kids to see opportunity in farming not just struggle. They want to know that not only can their kids stay on the farm but want to stay because they know they can build a family and life. They want inputs to be affordable, Big Ag giants to stop undercutting them, and to know their neighbors are not Chinese nationals. But, every time there's a push for amnesty in DC, the talking points are always the same: "We have to do this for the (insert group)." This time they're saying: "It's what the farmers want!" But, it’s always the same lobbyists and multinational corporations profiting off cheap foreign labor that are feeding politicians those talking points.
