  1. Abbott tried, but then realized it would lead to economic devastation.

  3.  @naturegal-xq5li  Most come here to work. So, should we hand out more visas to get rid of the 10 year waiting list?

  4. Jobs Americans Won’t Do U.S. fresh produce growers have long said that few, if any, American workers are willing to take on the most arduous farm jobs. We studied this issue in North Carolina, examining how many American workers actually applied for heavily advertised farming positions in 2011, a period when the country was still recovering from the recession. The table in this section shows the results. Key Stats 6,500 open farm jobs in North Carolina at start of the season. 265 American workers applied. 7 workers lasted the harvest season. 0.01 percent of North Carolina farm jobs were filled by American workers.

  5. Texas troopers employed by Greg Abbott’s border patrol initiative were instructed to push children into the Rio Grande and deny migrants water in extreme heat, according to emails sent by a state employee.

  7.  @naturegal-xq5li  We need the work. They want to work. What's the problem? Farmers want us to hand out more visas.

  8.  @harryfarber6435  Frame it any way you want. Abbott realized it would lead to economic devastation and he stopped.

  11.  @harryfarber6435  We need the work, should we hand out more visas? "The AP analysis showed that, from January to June, California farmers posted ads for 1,160 farmworker positions open to U.S. citizens and legal residents. But only 233 people in those categories applied after learning of the jobs through unemployment offices in California, Texas, Nevada and Arizona. One grower brought on 36. No one else hired any."

  13.  @stevenhawkins3662  Well, chattel slavery is a lot different than having paid, hard-working migrants.

  14.  @bulld9646  They've tried raising wages. Americans don't take the jobs. John Harold is one of those farmers. Instead of hiring migrant workers this year, he left openings for local, jobless Americans, something he considers a mistake. Americans, he says, proved to be less reliable and less willing to perform the hard work necessary to run his corn and onion farm than foreign workers.
