Several of them work for my sister in law as she has orchards and milking cows. Im sure that papers are in order but who is to say. Several families work for them year round , and others come when fruit to pick is ready. Many times when we hit the orchard ponds to go after bass their children will show up.
And that is no problem because I always carry extra rods reels and get them out for the children, and we have all sat down to eat together cooking out burgers and hot dogs. Several of these children attend the same school as our sons and ride same school bus and they are friends. They play basketball and baseball together in county league.
They are just husbands mothers trying to do wright for their children. And now we see domestic terrorism in form of raids. This is just so screwed up as I personally know these fine humans very disturbing.
Today is a standby day just in case so today and however long. A young lady and several of the children will be hanging here in case of raids at my sister in law farm. Best we can do in form of protection, I do have return one of 3 air mattresses I bought for them to rack out it wont hold air Wright out of box.
This is just bullshit too keep trumps base happy, and you know these fine friends do not oppress anyone and they dont need this shit harassment fear they do not steal employment from other people. Im tired as you all are of this shit.

Today is going to be tough to take.

(2,947 posts)one and got noticeable relief the very first time I used it from my sciatic and bulging disc pain. I used it regularly for a week or two and now only when I need it. That was about 10 years ago. I muck about 12 tons of horse manure each year, not including lifting all the hay, feed, etc., involved with caring for the horses which adds another couple of tons of lifting. The machine stretches the back just enough to put space between the discs to stop the pain. It's portable enough to take with you on the job. I know one vet office in the Tucson area that made use of the machine mandatory in the office because she was so impressed with the results. They're available on line or you used to be able to get a machine at Bed Bath & Beyond. I feel your pain. You should also try acupuncture.

(54,436 posts)If they don't find enough people who lack legitimate residence documents, they just round up a few who do, just so they can turn in enough people to satisfy some quota ordained from above. If some of the people they seize are taken "in error," they just issue an "apology," have Koochy-Crazy make some statement as to how "this is not our policy," have Vice-President Putz back him up, and then send them home.
