We need to deal with immigration issue on a national level. This farmer may be forced out of business because farmers in neighboring states have a cost advantage with cheap illegal labor but that wouldn't be the case if we had a reasonable national policy.

This, very much this. This is absolutely a federal issue that needs to be handled property, otherwise you end up with the same policy clusterfuck as with weed "dispensaries" and white dudes with dreadlocks and lab coats talking about medicine.

You're 100% correct, but since it's been made very clear over 3 decades that the federal government doesn't have the will to take on the issue, the next best alternative is for the states affected to take their own measures. If CA wants to become the wonderful safe haven for all illegal immigration, be my guest, other states can have better regulations.
 
how is it NOT a livable wage if the people come back day after day, and somehow SURVIVE....?? AND manage to send money home?
 
Would someone tell farmer Chad Smith that there is a LEGAL visa program for farm workers?

Wanting to get rid of illegal labor does not make one racist.. in your pea brained mind sure... but in the real world not so much.

The only policy we need is fining businesses/farms/whatever that employ illegals... but I guess that would be racist.
 
Cut the gov then in another area to make up for it then. A common currency and border protection/enforcement are the first two duties of any government I'd say. If they can't pull either of those two off, what good are they?
 
Except for punishing the slack jawed chaw chewing inbred asshole who hired them in the 1st place?

What is it with you and southerners? You never fail to waste an opportunity to put them down in the meanest terms possible. You are a stereotyping racist asshole to the the highest degree. I could pull up countless posts of yours trying to write out how a southerner speaks, and all it does is make you look like an extremely prejudiced asshole. Get over yourself, other regions have different dialects and accents, but I guess since they are different than you they must be dumb! D: 🙄

Or is your hatred for our fellow countrymen that live in the south have a higher african american population than most other states?

And lastly, I read more intelligent posts from posters that hail from Tennessee, Alabama, and other southern states than you could even dream of authoring.

I'd say good on Alabama for @ least trying SOMETHING.

Thank you. We need all the help we can get. 😀
 
Here is a great opportunity!!

http://news.yahoo.com/ala-loses-workers-immigration-law-takes-effect-222404123.html

I would like apologize to all the people who I called xenophobic and racist for wanting to chase out every brown person in the US. I didn't realize you were actually fighting to ensure jobs will go back to Americans!!

Great work guys!!

Now, with all the illegal AND legal migrant workers leaving states like Alabama, it is ensured every unemployed American can obtain work!! Well, for the short run anyway,...



,.... we'll worry about that later.

I mean, the important thing is that you shoo'ed away all non-Americans (you got what you wished for) and now Americans can find some work!!

Mission Accomplished Gents - keep up the good work!
Or:

Farmer realizes that his business was only profitable when relying upon illegal labor.

Of course in his defense if he was a big enough business (and didn't have local produce) he could just outsource it and have people in veritable slave conditions in some other country do his work. That's all outsourcing is anyway, using the labor of those who otherwise wouldn't be legal and/or cost too much if you followed local labor laws.
 
Yet, most people totally disregard how some toothless red neck pile of vomit is hiring illegals. ...

Except for punishing the slack jawed chaw chewing inbred asshole who hired them in the 1st place?

So you made stupid stereotype statements (based on your own anecdotal experience) while you condemn others?

And, the only reason jobs are being shipped overseas, is because the unions and the American worker has been vilified and deemed too expensive. One anecdotal example of a corrupt union worker means every union worker is corrupt, on these forums.

And, these very forums scream and yell bloody murder when unions and "self entitled" Americans demand more than just $15K a year for a 10 hour 6 day work week.

Which union works 10 hours/day and 6 days a week (without OT pay)? Which union works for $15K/year or so? Please do tell because I used to work with the UAW for a few years so I do know a few things about union, do you?

There isn't a single fucking one, he's out of his goddamn mind. 10 hour day? So 20 hours of OT? Pretty good right there. Hell if it's a Saturday some unions require you pay double time. Some even have contracts that any job that has over 8 hrs a day = over time regardless of how many hours a week you work.

Oh, you mean the post/threads with masked racism towards African Americans? Gotcha, thanks.

Keep turning a blind eye.

It's the same old shit with some of you; you post something that is indeed racism, I spew comments about the very slime that is making these racist comments (white trash, usually) and its then flipped around so that I am the racist. OK, fine; I am proud to say, with out any doubt whatsoever, that I hate white people who are trying to be "cute" with racism towards anyone other than white.

Man the fuck up assholes. Stop hiding.

Hey, how about you comment on one particular poster who constantly posted how much he wants all Muslims dead? Oh, right - the blind eye was turned on that one as well.

Sorry, I forgot who I was dealing with here,.. stupid me!
 
Farmer Chad Smith said his family farm stands to lose up to $150,000 because there are not enough workers to pick tomatoes spoiling in the fields.

"We will be lucky to be in business next year," he said.

Good

He shouldn't be in business to begin with if all he is going to pay for is slave labor.

First, you have no clue as to whom you are dealing with here, that is an incredibly amateur forum tactic that will not work, but does serve to increase your "asshole" quotient. Good job bro!

You just don't get it, do you? Many others sure did. Just because someone out there or in here is racist does not give you licence to spew your vile. You r lame attempts at deflection speak volumes towards your guilt at the charges levied against you.

Also, you can be racist towards white people too, a "skill" at which you excel and seem to enjoy all to often. Anyone can go look at your "body of work" and see exactly what I am being referred too.

But keep on deflecting, obfuscating, and finding a way to wedge in a racist remark into every thread you decide to shit in via the written word.
 
It's OK for an iPhone to be made by underpaid foreign workers, but it's really wrong for this farmer to hire underpaid foreign workers to pick tomatoes.

Actually, yes, that's correct. The iphone is made in another country where the workers work under whatever conditions the laws of that country dictate. The farmer is in the US and thus has to abide by US laws and pay appropriate wages to his employees, and he should only hire those who are legally allowed to work here.

Thanks.

Here is your problem.

Chad Smith from the article is only mentioned in this passage.

Farmer Chad Smith said his family farm stands to lose up to $150,000 because there are not enough workers to pick tomatoes spoiling in the fields.
"We will be lucky to be in business next year," he said.
So what do we know about Chad Smith - His picture is linked in the article.

566747e6628eba16fa0e6a7067004f79.jpg


We can see he is white from the picture and from reading the article we learn that he owns a farm in Alabama. He also apparently can't find workers to pick his tomatoes.

Here is what you wrote about Chad Smith.

You managed to type all that from a white person owning a tomato farm in Alabama who apparently can't find workers willing to pick tomatoes for the wages to earn him a profit over just letting them rot.

Do you not see the problem? It also doesn't matter who else exhibits racism, if someone from the south exhibits racism, it isn't an excuse for you to categorize southerners the way you do, unless you also want to be called racist.

Since you are not okay with being called a racist, I suggest you stop with these kind of remarks and simply point out racism when you see it and not devolve into the type of racism that you abhor.
