So in Minnesota a huge influx of Somalis came during the 1991 collapse of their government. They moved to Ethiopia and since there was a historic famine there, they basically shipped them all to the US. Most landed in New York and were recruited by meat packing plants in Kentucky, Indiana, and Minnesota. The Kentucky one closed first, then the Indiana one in the elate 1990s. Then they all moved to the last plant in Marshall, MN where they had job offers waiting. That plant closed in 2005 and they were just told to move on. Most of them moved to the twin cities, had hard time finding work, and here we are. Day care is an industry totally dominated by foreign-born folks because the employer offers green cards in exchange for minimum wage pay. It works well for the day care owners who get to offload costs to the state who gives the workers SNAP and all that.
I just heard on the radio this morning that in order to deal with the worker shortage in the agricultural sector, the government in their infinite wisdom decided to lower the minimum wage
Because you know that’s how you attract and retain talent, right?
Here’s the latest development on farmworker wages and visas that likely explains what you heard on the radio this morning. The key change involves how minimum wages are set for temporary agricultural workers on H-2A visas (the program many farms use to legally hire foreign seasonal workers).
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) issued a new rule (effective October 2, 2025) revising how the Adverse Effect Wage Rate (AEWR) is calculated for H-2A workers. The AEWR is essentially the minimum wage employers must pay to H-2A workers and U.S. workers in similar jobs to ensure foreign labor doesn’t depress local wages.
Under the new rule, the government:
The wage formula has shifted to use state-level Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data (the OEWS) rather than the old farm labor survey, which generally produces lower target wages.
There are now two “skill levels” of AEWR (one lower entry level and one higher experienced level) instead of a single rate, which tends to reduce pay for many seasonal jobs. H-2A workers may be paid the lower level more often if they meet only basic qualifying criteria.
The rule also allows a wage deduction of $1 to $3 per hour where the employer provides free housing, effectively lowering take-home pay even further for H-2A workers. Housing deductions don’t apply to U.S. workers in corresponding employment, but they do affect the minimum negotiated wage for the visa holders themselves. 
This wage recalculation could significantly reduce the actual wages for many H-2A visa farmworkers — estimates from policy analysts suggest total wage losses in the billions of dollars nationally and dramatic percentage cuts compared with prior AEWR levels. 
This change was reported in several news outlets as a cut to minimum wage obligations for agricultural guest workers, and you may have heard discussion about it on the radio in that context. There are ongoing lawsuits and political controversy around this because farmworker advocates argue the rule undercuts wages for all farmworkers and harms labor standards, while farm groups say it reduces costs in the face of labor shortages. 
If you want, I can summarize how this compares with previous wage requirements or how it might affect food prices and local employment.
I was a travel nurse to Jamestown, North Dakota. I was shocked how many Africans they settled there. It would be negative temperatures and you could see them walking outside with items on their head. There was a desperateness to get workers to the prison there, they get 3rd world chaos.
Yet that Caucasian central American town was now full of refugees.
The were sent to cold states because their little onboard CPUs kept overheating and going FRITZZZzzz! So they sent them to colder climates to keep what little computing power they had intact, say about 64Mb, so they could still steal and vote.
At least that's my theory... your mileage may vary.
It used to be a little harder to get large numbers of 3rd worlders input in to the country. They put them in states that they thought were too white.
The halfrican was complicit in this scheme.

Something tells me that these incidents of war and strife were aided by one of our 17 non-intelligence agencies.

The minimum wage has never been lowered in any state or county or on a federal level.

That's where the dumbest libs live. They haven't spent time around groids, so they're gullible.
Illegal Votes to stay in power!

Would be interesting to see what would happen if “white flight” happened to that town
What would they do if all the infrastructure disappeared?
to displace whites

They were sent to states with low population that they could swamp with their presence??
That's what I think..
...or this. Heh! But I still like my explanation.
I say this: their housing costs are subsidized, so kick that baby to 85 degrees..😒
Laundering and trafficking, maybe?
knowingly . . .
To vote blue
Sound logic, also, how do you keep them content with such a change in climate...
Those are rhetorical questions, right?🐸
I just figured with all that extra garb they wear that they would get overheated anywhere else!
yes
MN whites are gullible. Send them to AL and neither the whites nor the blacks would put up with them.
MN and ME were in the top 6 states by IQ in 2006. Equity!
SHEESH!
The pull of fraud overrides the need for warmth.
