Nebraska didn't care what their status was for 20 years. They just had to make meat no matter what.Cannonpointer » Yesterday, 9:44 pm » wrote: ↑ Here's another fun stat. Iowa ranks second in ag at 46.6 BIL. Only 6,000 migrant workers annually (and only some of those illegal), according to deep blue sources (https://iowastartingline.com/2021/04/05 ... m-workers/) - compared to what? 450,000 in Cali? Again, I cannot EXPLAIN this, but I do take note of it. It has that special california smell to it, in my perspective. It's a smell that makes me suspicious. It smells like fun with numbers.
I stand by my opinion that ultimately, they are lying that we need illegals to pick our crops. It is possible that we need more visas - that I will grant. But we do not need illegals. We might soon, since the dollar is losing its cachet and might soon be humbled. But at this time, it appears that all we need is more visas. As I said, we issue over 300,000 farm visas annually. If cali needs more, it should simply petition the feds to ISSUE more. Something smells about all of this. Why the **** should we force agriculture to use illegals? And why doesn't Iowa have to use illegals? Why is the Texas number so low, relative to cali's? These are some pretty simple questions. In my experience, human beings are problem solving machines, So when problems are allowed to persist, my very first - and the very safest - assumption is that someone is getting something out of that problem's persistence.
Now they have no one.
31,000 jobs on Indeed in NB today. Population was 2 million. I think a shytload split because they don't want to end up on the Holman Mass Deportation Express
I am not saying it is right NB hired illegals. But we both know that the effort has been bipartisan. Obama and Biden deported more than any other POTUS.. Dubya was like "Bring 'em on"
