I know,all this commie bullshit about who will pick the crops without illegals is completely false.
If we eliminate the illegals, companies will have to go to the trouble,of getting legal temporary workers. It will probably cost a bit more,but be better for everyone,including the workers.
Hell, My white grandmother picked cotton with my mom and her siblings in the 40's and early 50's. There was no help for single moms back then except for Catholic charities. Lots of men went to war and the women had to raise the family on their own
For a century after emancipation, Black Americans remained the majority of laborers in cotton fields.
Even though many Black individuals moved away from field work to find other jobs, farmers sought new sources of inexpensive labor, leading to the hiring of non-citizen workers from Mexico and other countries.
It's important to recognize that the history of cotton picking involves various groups, labor systems, and historical events, including slavery and the exploitation of immigrant labor.
Also, equipment manufacturers have developed new equipment with AI and GPS for self driving tractors. The new AI for herbicide application has cameras that identify the weed and only spray the weed instead of dusting the entire field. We are hurting development of new technology by using them.
