By the way, Americans aren't idiots OR spoiled, and I resent this deeply. To Mr. Painter, you've probably have been well aware for many years of the issues/troubles in attracting labor to your farm. Obviously since you're venting out, you're having issues or your neighborhood farmers are having issues in attracting labor.
Let me ask you this, do you provide a place for this labor to stay/live in, since more than likely, they'll have to drive literally forever to get to your place? Do you provide medical insurance? Do you provide 401Ks? How about childcare should these workers have families? Do you have profit sharing? I suspect that most of us here know the answers to all of these and many more unasked ?s, but before you start painting Americans in broad strokes, look around first, and actually truly see what's going on.
You had the workers before obviously before your leader djt kicked them all out, or scared them all away. Who in their right minds would want to work in such an environment when ICE could come in at a moment's notice, and w/o any regard to any rights or whatever, deport these people (whether or not it was legal or not, or if they were Americans already).
