I call it "soft slavery." The workers are held in thrall by the threat of exposure to the immigration authorities, so because they are not being paid a free market wage, they are paid as indentured servants. Most of the benefits (to the owner) of slavery, while skirting the law. And, once again, the Democrats are the party of slavery. It is vile.
Exactly right , I know lots of guys that work on farms as their full time job here in Ohio, they face the same problem as sheet rockers and roofers and other construction jobs. If you hire illegals you should be punished.
Pretty sure this same thing was said about cotton pickers a long while back. 🤔 They're just mixing who it was and keeping more people under their slavery.
No Nancy, the farmers WEREN'T saying that! They were saying, "Why on earth does the Biden administration want us to destroy our crops and then immediately gaslight us with needing help to 'pick' said crops." Just saying!
Teenagers used to be allowed to work in someone else's fields for pay! What teen does not want to work for MONEY? Now a 14 yr old is "allowed" to work on the family farm only w/o violating child labor laws.
sheesh, who of us did not sweat in the fields or mow neighbors' lawns when we were like 8 . . .10 12 14 16 18 etc.
Let the kids earn money! They want to! At least they used to want to!
She means to pick the crops of all the Bill Gates farmland. They need people who will keep their mouth shut, well they’re planning to poisonous with Bill Gates grown food
There have been workers with work visas for at least 15 years up here in the northern part of NE, no, there aren't any local men or women who want to do the apple picking, dairy work, tree farming, etc. Smaller farms do have family help and their friend's kids, but, for the most part, those workers are needed, and USA citizens do not want to be bothered, the work is usually from "can't see till can't see", it's easier for the farmers to provide some trailers for temp housing, provide transportation, then to wait for people to not show up at 6am. We have two kinds of young people here, those that went on to train in tech or nursing or trades, some who saved and got loans to start their own landscaping, snow plowing, mechanic work.We have a good High School with a well supported trades annex, for mechanics and logging and forest management. The others are dealing drugs and getting their girlfriends pregnant, or applying for disability as soon as they get a boo boo from their jobs. Thats the facts in the NE, the immigrants that get work visas work their asses off, come back yearly, and keep to themselves. They appear to be mostly Mexican, I see them in the supermarkets when they come in vans from the farm, getting their groceries. The farmers can't afford to pay Americans, they are hanging on by a thread themselves. I have no problem with legal immigrants, I do have a problem with seeing the work ethic in the younger generation going to shit because they cant make enough money at the first job they take. All the older folks are, well, getting older, with no one following the path. There is money to be made for a youngster if he wants to hustle a few gigs, working for contractors, learning by apprenticing, but where the hell are they? But go ahead parents, keep buying your kids x boxes and pay for their i phones, get them hooked on sitting around, so they are not strong enough to work a day in the field.
Just another kind of slavery made palatable to our current crop of urban sophistos. This bitch actually feels proud of herself for consigning a whole class of people to menial labor. I doubt the slave masters of old were ever so self-deluded.
Slave labor for sure . Farmers can spend a dollar on a good combine to harvest their crops. Another thing people don't see is that immigrant children don't go to school they all live on the farm and the , boss, goes grocery shopping for them so people don't see them. Ohio is full of migrant housing on these farms , shameful really.and California is x 10.
Are the immigrants paid? Can they come and go, as they wish? Doesn’t seem much like slavery to me.
Could these same jobs be done by HS kids? That’s who they used to hire to do this. But if you are paid nearly the same amount for doing absolutely nothing; why would you bust your butt working, for a pittance more?
Actually no , yes they get paid but they usually stay on the farm . The owners do the shopping for them to keep a low profile. You ever see migrants at the restaurant , or movies? No you don't.
Yes and to them highly expendable; a work force who doesn't complain about dying from years of exposure to deadly chemicals used on crops. You know. The same shit in all our produce.
Any citizen journalist would've shouted out, "Wait a cotton pickin' minute Speaker Pelosi, did you really just say that?" but instead We The People get silence from the so-called media.
I’ve been saying this for years. Illegal immigration is just their way of getting around paying fair wages to workers.

Indentured servants were traditionally treated worse than slaves. You owned a slave, indentured servants were a rental.
If they would pay a fair wage nobody would turn down those jobs.
They're as bad as waitress positions:
"Wanted, someone to pick apples. Pay is $10 per hour with a guarantee of at least 30 hours a week between July and September, unless it rains."

Crop pickers should be paid more than politicians. At least they contribute something positive to society.
thats RACISTTTTTT
Dems in 1822: pick our cotton, slave
Dems in 2022: pick our crops, illegally trafficked immigrant
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
There are no crops because she dumped all their fresh water into the ocean for a made up reason.

The ones in my area won’t even work for 15 an hour.
Slavery 2.0. Nancy, you are being too obvious. Back to your liquor cabinet and leave us alone.

Old democrats same as the new democrats: [Insert century] "If we don't have slaves, who is going to pick the cotton?"

How does anyone vote for for this? Face palm.
You don't need votes when you have mules.
Every legal immigrant and naturalized citizen needs to wear a t-shirt: I Pick Crops!
Or I'm a breakfast taco
🤣😜
I don't know, I don't think she is going to get away with this one. What a stupid thing to say. That's going to piss a lot of people off.
Yes and to them highly expendable; a work force who doesn't complain about dying from years of exposure to deadly chemicals used on crops. You know. The same shit in all our produce.
Oh.......Good......Lord!!!!!
Its racist

Try paying more than two bucks an hour
Yes!
Just like we needed those African "imigrants" a couple hundred years ago??
Look how well that turned out...
