Don’t worry guys, GOP politicians already have a solution that will save the day: cancer patients will be forced to pick the vegetables in order to keep their medical insurance, in a scenario that would be deemed too on the nose for dystopic fiction 20 years ago.
It’s just unfortunate that this BS is the way society is forced to realize that agriculture is built on exploitation, this isn’t meant to be a “both sides” moment but neither Reps nor Dems ever really cared about this. It was just always hypocritical to hate on the undocumented while relying on them
However, we all know that this administration will find the worst and inhumane way to deal with the situation.
TL;DR buckle up for some fun food insecurity issues that will start showing up in the US in the coming months.
Remember: at any given moment, all of society is nine missed meals away from complete anarchy.

Finally, some good news
You can always import food you know. It’s just that we have to put some traffic on that shit, you know.
Its OK. In just a few more weeks we won’t need migrants to pick anything. Better they stay in the countries we’ll be buying food from.
And pay some hefty tariffs on it.
Nah! Other countries pay that!
The administration is apparently so bereft of solutions that, a day earlier, Rollins bizarrely suggested that nonworking able-bodied Medicaid recipients (a cohort whose size she severely overstated) will replace deported farmworkers, toiling in fields to meet Medicaid work requirements that will be implemented under Trump’s budget.
They so intend to replace foreign workers with an internal slave labour pool.
Children in Trump’s America will grow up playing in the mines!
I’ve never understood this logic. If they were able-bodied enough to do that kind of labor, wouldn’t they be…you know…working? They’re on Medicaid for a reason, right?
Yeah, I know, I know. The GOP and logic don’t mix. I get it. But it just boggles my mind how simple concepts like this escape them.
People have been propagandized into believing they’re “free loaders”
The cool thing is lots of folks on medicaid are working. They just make so little money they qualify anyway.
Or alternatively they are forbidden from working more because their current healthcare covers their medical needs but if they went full time they’d lose meeicaid coverage and receive subpar coverage from Target or whoever
But that’s a simple fix. Let’s just make sure everyone has healthcare. Make it universal, so nobody depends on working or not working to live.
Haven’t you heard? That’s communism.
They literally already said that Medicare folks can take the immigrants jobs.
Not kidding.
More “No Shit, Sherlock” news, all the time
Nobody (on the right) saw this coming!
INB4 they need to update the headline with “Former.”
