JTN:
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins on Tuesday issued an unambiguous statement affirming that the Trump administration would not pursue amnesty for illegal aliens and that it sought to achieve 100% American participation in the agricultural sector.
“There will be no amnesty, the mass deportations continue but in a strategic way, and we move the workforce towards automation and 100% American participation,” she told reporters.

Yeah, and the Epstein list was on Blondi’s desk. Color me cynical.
Reckless, not well-thought-out policy shifts one way demand an equally weighted pendulum shift the other way to bring balance and stability.
Not only must they ALL go, but legal immigration should be re-worked, only those who possess essential skills and would be a net benefit to society will be considered.
In the same vein; all appointed federal judges will be white men, no foreign aid to anyone until our national debt is addressed, and make crime victims immune from civil liability (a store owner can beat you to a bloody pulp if you shoplift from him).
I got more, but let’s start with these.
There will be no amnesty, except for people who work at Trump hotels and golf courses.
Speaking of Trump… does he know about this?
Seasonal workers have been a part of our legal immigration rules for decades. Reasonable to allow able-bodied workers to come over on green-card status if there is an actual shortage of workers. But this is controlled, and they aren’t refugees, and they don’t get free benefits. I’m fine with that. In fact, if an illegal self-deports and then goes through proper channels I am reasonably okay with that. But for those here illegally, the laws must be enforced. They must leave.
Naturally, farms and other employers will insist that they need those seasonal workers. But if they have to pay them the same rate as American citizens it levels the playing field.
STOP ALL IMMIGRATION – EVEN LEGAL. Force the punks business owners who have engaged in legal slavery for decades to play by the actual rules, not the “under the table” crap they’ve been getting away with. And some of them need to go to jail or prison.
Fornicate the Chamber of Commerce and their acolytes. They don’t care at all about America or Americans. We need to not care about them, either.
Not “punks” – “punkass”.
But 100% amnesty for everyone involved with Epstein, the 2020 election theft, the Ukrainian moneylaundering, the plannedemic, the jab genocide, and everyone else they promised to bring to justice.
“STOP ALL IMMIGRATION – EVEN LEGAL”
Pull out of NATO and stop all foreign aide. Let the rest of the world kiss the left side of our right cheek for a while. I’m tired of all these bastards after my wallet.
My wife has a nephew who was one of the Disney Imagineers who was fired and replaced with an H1B slave. He was required to train his replacement or lose his severance package. I have zero sympathy for those poor, downtrodden employers and their modern-day wage slavery.
Absolutely No Amnesty Ever for anyone who has entered America illegally needs to be written into the Constitution.
“but in a strategic way”
Just what does that mean? It’s not what we think. They will NOT deport illegal aliens in those favored industries; farming, hotels, and restaurants.
The owners are too rich to piss off, so they get to keep their illegal aliens.
They’re going to allow worker visas. Which means there’s a seasonal time limit and they have to go home and then reapply. They’ve been doing this since the 60s if I remember right. So it’s nothing new.
Also, they’re going to automate a lot of the picking.
“Also, they’re going to automate a lot of the picking.”
That’s been big biz in the California central valley for sometime now. And getting bigger every month.
Oops. Yeah. What Left Coast Dan said. lol
Bad_Brad – Have you seen how they pick olives? lol.
Even in the Mediterranean nobody picks by hand. They use a weird belted machine that shakes them all off.
That’s why my grandpa only had a few olive trees.
He had a vineyard (raisins and wine) and we had to hand cut those friggin grapes. Once in a while, he would hire a hippie German tourist as a day laborer who needed some extra cash.
Yes. Back in the day, hippies used to work. Amazing, ain’t it?
BTW, if you’re wondering about the Ukraine weapons thing- I heard the explanation.
A few months ago, when Ukraine agreed with the US regarding mineral rights, we got minerals in exchange for giving them weapons. The deal is written out on one of the white house pages.
MJA
They do the same with nut trees. Walnuts seem to be the preferred orchard now days. But with the advances in satellite navigation and sensors they’re accomplishing some amaze stuff.
We use a plater, metal finisher, in the central valley. They’re delivery driver is a legal Mex. His family immigrated here a long time ago, he was born here. He’s told us his grandparents still live below the border. They use to travel south to visit them but the cartels have made things so dangerous they stopped going. He also told us that cheap Mex labor is hard to find anymore. Reason being is all the youngsters get sucked into the cartels because that’s where the moneys at. If you hire a young man that’s just come across the border odds are you’re hiring a criminal cartel member.
McCormick does the tree shaky thing. Ha!
Yeah, that GPS stuff is crazy. They’re even on riding mowers.
“If you hire a young man that’s just come across the border odds are you’re hiring a criminal cartel member.”
Crazy times.
