FAFO! Trump Voting Farmer Mad He Can't Find Anyone To Work For Him - The Logical Leftist



In this eye-opening video, we dive into the struggles faced by Pennsylvania farmers who voted for Trump and are now grappling with the consequences of labor shortages and trade wars. With the U.S. agricultural workforce shrinking by 155,000 workers and a significant drop in immigrant labor, farmers like John Painter are feeling the pressure.

Join us as we explore the harsh realities of farm labor, where long hours and low pay are the norm, and the seasonal nature of the work leaves many without a safety net. Hear from dairy farmer Tim Wood, who emphasizes the critical need for labor to keep farms running smoothly.

We also tackle the complex issues surrounding immigration and the human stories behind the statistics. Why are farmers now questioning their voting choices? What does it mean for the future of agriculture in America?

Don't miss this compelling discussion that sheds light on the challenges facing the agricultural community and the broader implications for our food supply.

Probably going to get in trouble, but I don't understand how it is legal for an employer to hire an undocumented worker.
The fact that the undocumented worker will work for substantially lower wages looks doesn't seem legal to me. They are being exploited. Certainly doesn't seem right.
