There is memo circulating that Drumpf wants to deport all visa holders who aren't essential workers and those that have received any form of public assistance in the last five years.
I hope the Deplorables like paying five dollars for a tomato:
The second order, titled Executive Order on Protecting American Jobs and Workers by Strengthening the Integrity of Foreign Worker Visa Programs calls for eliminating the jobs magnet that is driving illegal immigration to the United States, according to a copy obtained by The Post. The order would rescind any work visa provisions for foreign nationals found not to be in the national interest or found to be in violation of U.S. immigration laws.

I remember all the migrant workers left the state in droves. All these people nowadays who believe whites will do stoop labor must be keyboard warriors past retirement age.

(2,396 posts)Of course they won't do them because it's stoop labor; extraordinarily hard work, as you said. Maybe the elderly Trumpies are thinking back to their youth on the farm when it was good enough for them. That's the only way I can imagine right now why they would say something so stupid in regard to farm jobs.

(18,402 posts)Mr. frazzled just went off this afternoon for round one of a search committee meeting to hire a new full-time faculty member for his department. He'd read more than 150 applications and was supposed to come with his top ten most qualified choices. Before he left I asked him, timidly, how many foreigners were on his list. There were three. I then said, "This should never interfere with your impartial judgment, but do you think it could be necessary to bring up the question of whether there might be problems at this moment either getting someone in or, conversely, them wanting to pull out at the last minute because of the horrible situation here?" These searches are long and arduous, and somewhat costly, and when a chosen candidate pulls out, it's a total bummer.
We have a friend who has been here a year and a half in a prominent position at an arts institution who has been advised by his attorney he should absolutely not travel anywhere. He is in such despair that he is thinking of leaving the job and the country for good.
This is affecting lots and lots and lots of people, both Americans and foreigners.
