    We’ve already seen the ghost of Christmas future here, it’s when Georgia implemented their live scan law and all the small and mid size farmers in Georgia lost their whole harvest (and subsequently, the farm) because they just couldn’t get Americans to come and pick for what they’re willing to pay. A lot of these farmers voted and stumped for Trump, believing that certainly the face eating leopard who eats everyone’s face and promises to eat everyone’s face wouldn’t eat their face. Get ready for a lot of “waaahhh, I didn’t think he would hurt meeeeeeee” from these guys as millions of pounds of tomatoes rot on the vine this summer.

    Also, this just fucking sucks. I live in the central valley, ag is a really big deal here, and a lot of ag workers are really hard-working stand up folks. Nobody deserves ICE, but these folks especially don’t deserve it. I’d like to take this opportunity to wish ICE agents a very merry court date ASAP.

      And the bankrupt farms will be bought up en-masse by corporations owned by Gates and other billionaires who will “make a deal” to let them get away with slave immigrant labor. It’s part of the plan.

      Second to that, a careful and thorough rout of them all, prosecuted heavily and drained of any assets by their victims for violating due process.
