Jobs not available to poor kids in the city. No beans. No corn to detassel. No lawns. No kindly old neighbor who will pay them to shovel the sidewalk, and leaves are dealt with by leaf blowers. And ain't nobody delivering eggs or papers.

I bought a 10 speed. Always had plenty of money to what I wanted, movies, etc. . Didn't have to beg my parents.

I also had a good summer job during high school into college, due to family influence. I had to work hard, but  it was fun. I had plenty of gas and party money.

My parents were good teachers. An older sibling taught me to read and write before I attended kindergarten. I already knew all the colors, shapes, counting, and so on.  My parents had friends in high places so I never got in any trouble. We weren't all that wealthy, but school was easy, and my childhood life was easy.

Let me know when the aggrieved, and those on their behalf, file their lawsuits. Otherwise I call bullshit.

I don't think there is much that can be done at this point. The voter suppression effort was successful. If I can find it, I'll post a link sometime.

The crops were getting picked just fine before they got here.

Farm labor shortages are a big problem in the U.S.  Given how long farms have relied on undocumented labor, no other workforce currently exists that could replace unauthorized workers. Some farmers are turning to machines to help with the work, but that won't be enough to address the issue.

Former President Trump got less than 50% and narrowly edged out VP Kamala Harris by 1.5% due to serious targeted voter suppression.

The crops were getting picked just fine before they got here. Doubt anyone in here was going hungry prior to this influx. You really think millions of these people just immediately started picking crops? If, like Murph says, sending these people back is going to make food prices go up, shouldn’t they have gone down when we let all these people in?

Did you think anyone thought a large percentage of recent arrivals were farm workers? Migrants have been harvesting crops for decades. The need has been reduced some due to automation. But the machines don't operate themselves.

I would guess new arrivals are also working in construction, hotels, restaurants ...

Trump was talking about removing all of them.

I accepted it as a highly possible if not likely outcome long before the election.

Whether I like it, dislike it, or am indifferent is moot. It is what it is.

You may not like it, but Trump got 49.9% and Harris 48.4%.

Republicans have been engaging in voter suppression efforts for quite a while now. I assume you approve.

Trump was talking about removing all of them.

There is a narrative that they’re just here to pick the crops. Murph and Tempo have said it a bunch of times right here on HQ2! Mn called it out as the pivot away from the asylum seeking that it was in just the last couple days.

Anyone who thought Trump was going to deport them all is a fool. Even Murph called that out a while ago. That’s what steeping yourself in anti-Trump hysteria does to your brain—you believe all the worst case scenarios before they’ve even come to pass.

FWIW, Trump approval ratings are soaring.

The problem was that Trump had hired them all to work at Mar-A-Lago

Nope. The deplorables that voted for Trump in 2020 still voted for Trump. 10 million Biden voters were worried about eggs. They didn't believe that Trump would fix it enough to vote for Trump, but they didn't think Harris was gonna fix it either, so they said fuck it might as well let Vladimir Putin try to come fix it.
