Trump has made noises like this here and there for a while now. Meanwhile I just saw a story about ICE coming into a blueberry field and rolling everyone up. The situation is still in chaos.
I'm confident Stephen Miller wants to go after the pickers and room service illegals. The base needs to back him loudly and push our side. This will be a battleground during and after Trump.
I know a lot of farmers but I'm sick of their bellyaching about labor. At some point of hourly wages, Americans will take those jobs. I don't mind paying more for the end product either. A study came out that showed the impact would be less than Bidenflation IIRC.
It’s 2025, automated farms are a thing and have been for a decade, the technology is so good now they can even do blueberry bushels faster than any human. The ONLY reason the majority of farming hasn’t been automated is it’s a large 1 time cost (722 billion estimated for the entire country) and the US government is subsidizing cheap labor which makes it’s more profitable to not automate, it’s slavery and the industrial revolution all over again.

Wow, automation came for the slaves. I'd tell them to learn to code, but they're also nursing assistants. Coding has a different meaning.
Hey now, those Filipinos would be real mad you called them Mexican
You can tell the difference by how they talk about chickens.
When you have John Deere putting DRM in tractors in a blatant attempt at rent-seeking, I don't necessarily blame farmers for being hesitant at adopting new technology. It sucks hard enough to be a farmer without having an entire harvest dependent on a fucking Authorized Technician™ 300 miles away.
