You're right, whoever is advising Trump is right, get rid of illegal aliens and you could be facing "rotting fruits in field while prices soar at the market" messaging from the left come fall that'll carry over to the mid-terms. But it's also more insidious.
The farm is the excuse, the hotels and service jobs are the jobs Americans can fill. I wish for higher wages for semi-skilled service jobs that offers a livable wage with work life balance but getting rid of the illegals won't make that happen, they’ll never let labor get scarce enough for wages to rise. This is proof of that.
Their end game is automation, just stalling till they get it, by the time they get automation all of the sudden both sides of the establishment are going to be cool with mass deportations.
Labor rates were rising very well in Trump's first term until the COVID lockdowns, the only time I had seen it in my lifetime. Even kept going at the low end jobs(fast food, groceries, etc) in my state in the summer when lockdowns first lifted here(early lift state)
Fruit can rot. All the staple foods are machine harvestable. If some gen-z tiktok thot doesn't get their fucking avocado toast I'm not going to shed a tear.
