@Debora-m8r Your problem is that you REFUSE to adapt to our regulations and laws. You simply pretend that we buy your stuff as you produce it for the US-market....
Take agricultural goods for example. We don`t like transgenics, and we don`t want them in our diet. Yet you use them extensively, wich disqaulifies your products automatically (except in some cases, and only to feed animals). The same for the chemicals you use for growing and processing them, with are considered a health-risk in Europe, and whose use we forbid to or farmers.
Yet you use them, and simply pretend that we overlook this fact, and allow your producers to sell us things made with methods we don`t allow ours.
Your cars are to big for our streets, have to much gas emisions, and an awfull consume per kilometer, yet you refuse to produce in your country cars that would pass our technical tests and abide by our laws. If the CHINESE can produce cars that pass our regulations, why can`t you, if you want to export to Europe?
And this are only two examples...........
I don`t think the Eu os going to unwind (as the brits have found out, it is very cold and lonely outside of the EU), and for NATO, I see it as a win......

Check the inmigration status. In Spain, untill reciently, you could get a permanent residence by buying a 500.000 euro worth house (or more). But now, in a effort to limit skyrocketing housing-prices, this "golden-visa" has been revoked. I am not sure, but I think the same has happened in Portugal.
In Spain, buying a house, does not longer automatically grant residency...... If you don`t get a permanent residence status (wich you still can, but you will have to get through the hoopes of inmigration proccess) you could use your house only two non-consecutive 90 days periods every year...... (unless you have an Eu passport, then you are fine).
Would love to welcome you in Spain, but check out the situation thoroughly to avoid unpleasant surprises......... Good luck........

@bethnorrod5942 I was trying to explain that in another comment. Seasonal workers are not going to come to work your fields for the money the farmers can allow themselves to offer to have benefits. They did it because it was a necesary sacrifice in order to get their papers and become legal inmigrants. But very few mexicans, colombians, people or form Guatemala, Ecuador, or other places, are going to show up, work for some pennys, and then return to their countries.........
The brits expirienced this first hand, when they asked the east-european workers they had just thrown out, to come back, only for the season and for the same pay, and then return to their country........lets just say, it went not as good as it could have......
In my country, we have seasonal workers comming from Marroco, but this works BECAUSE WE PAY THEM THE SAME AS A SPANISH WORKER, and take care of the travel (forth and back) and the housing while they stay here (with our housing-prices, if we didn`t do this, no one would come, although it is true, that the housing they get offered often borders legality)

@Ken-ce4co Some time ago, a general of your armed forces holded a speach about a recruitment crisis, in wich he explained, that among other problems, they had to reject an average of 70% of young aplicants do to medical reasons, mostly, because after lifelong obesity (from childhood on) their hip-bones were to fragile to endure the requirements of military life and LITERRALY broke, if put under aditional stress.......do you REALLY expect this kind of people to survive a harvest season? Or to show even up, knowing what your insurance companies will do with them once they injured themselves?
How many of the remaining 30% would be willing to do farmwork? And how many would do it for the price the farmers can allow themselves to pay, before calling it a day and filing for bankrupcy?
This said, I hope you like your work. Working in something that you enjoy is a blessing......

@williamhodgden8970 That`s not an inmigrant. That is a seasonal worker. You will find it difficult to recruit them for the lousy pay you are offering the ilegal inmigrants right now.
And the ones that accept that pay, will do it to run away and hide, once they are in the States.
Ask the brits how it went for them after Brexit. They showed east-eurpean workers the exit-door, and the put on a pikachu-face, when no brits showed up for the harvest season.....in panik, they tried to issue temporary work-visas to get THE SAME PEOPLE THEY HAD EXPULSED, to come back, do the work for the same pay as before, and then go back to their countries......needeles to say, it didn`t go as expected....... Your farmers can`t afford pay this people enough money to go to your country, do the work, and the return to their countries........

@cehannan333 Oh! Of course I , personally would LOVE to blame mr Trump for this, but truth is, this type of companies usually have taken their decision to close some time ago.
They decided it probably at least a year ago (or more).
What WE CAN SAY for sure, is that the economic messures anounced by Trumps administration haven`t caused this companies to re-think their decisions......perahps, they don`t think the future is as bright as mr Trump and his followers seem to believe it will........we`ll see....... but, just in case, put your finances in order, pay out your debts, invest in basic and save things (gold, land), and learn a job that`s safe from economic turbulences.
