Summary

President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed mass deportation plan could severely impact California’s agriculture, where many of the farm workers are undocumented immigrants.

Experts warn that deporting these workers could disrupt the U.S. food supply chain, drive up prices, and increase reliance on imports.

California’s $24.7 billion agricultural industry heavily depends on immigrant labor for producing key crops like almonds, strawberries, and lettuce.

Farm worker advocates argue Trump’s immigration policies aim to discourage labor organizing by creating a more vulnerable workforce. California leaders, including Governor Gavin Newsom, are taking steps to safeguard immigrant rights amid growing concerns.

Honestly I hope it happens.

Americans need to learn the very, very hard way that choices matter and you really need to pay attention before you cast your vote.

I have never been an accelerationist but have a feeling it may be our only path forward from here on.

Note- not a plan, will see how things go. Not terribly hopefully atm though.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago

Well it's a concept of a plan.

I'm not for millions of immigrants suffering just to teach conservatives a lesson.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Yeah, but the choice has already been made, sadly. It would be worse for conservatives to make the choice and be somehow rewarded.
