WASHINGTON, July 11 (Reuters) - A California farmworker died on Friday from injuries sustained a day earlier when U.S. immigration agents raided a cannabis operation and arrested hundreds of workers, according to a farmworker advocacy group.
Dozens of migrant-rights activists faced off with federal agents in rural Southern California on Thursday. It was the latest escalation of President Donald Trump’s campaign to deport all immigrants in the U.S. illegally.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said in a statement that approximately 200 people in the country illegally were arrested in the raid, which targeted two locations of the cannabis operation Glass House Farms.
Agents also found 10 migrant minors at the farm, the statement said. The facility is under investigation for child labor violations, said Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott in a post on X.
I guess if you dont really want to think much about it thats an okay answer.
It’s just a simple, clean, solutionn. All the incentives line up for all the players, it’s ethical, it’s practical, and it’s a sustainable system. It even has natural feedback mechanisms
You keep gesturing towards vague problems with the idea…I can’t do your thinking for you
You seem very concerned about the border - that’s a separate issue and must be handled separately. I think we should have open borders, but we’re not in a place where we can do it right now. Between the consequences of the war on drugs, certain trade restrictions, and the current tarrifs, it would have some pretty terrible knock on effects.
We also can’t take care of our own population properly due to cutting all the safety nets and letting capitol run free, so we’re not equipped to handle refugees, and being the only open border would mean a lot more refugees
So open borders are good, but a lot of ground work has to be done for that to be practical. But legalizing every illegal American? We can do that today, and it would be good for everyone
