The Border. Great post from someone who lives there.

10. I remember back before Reagan

Seasonal farm workers, mostly men, would come north from Mexico during planting season and work farm jobs clear through to October. They mostly saved their money, taking it back with them to support their families in Mexico. They didn't stay. Mexico was home. It might not have fit a right winger's definition of a secure border, but it worked.

Reagan was the one who pushed that "security," making border crossings more difficult and preventing seasonal workers from traveling back and forth. So they brought the families along and they stayed, most of them doing miserable jobs in meat packing, getting their kids educated, and generally trying to get ahead.

Every single stinking Republican has made it worse.

Now there are complaints that crops are rotting in the fields because there arn't seasonal workers to harvest them.

If we don't put the brakes on these idiot right wingers, we're going to get one hell of a lot hungrier.

And all that stupid TFG can come up with is "deport all undocumented workers." You know, during a labor shortage.
