Devin nunes,iowa and illegal immigrants

[Demon]

So it’s ok for illegals to be here if you really need them. Got it.

[Apocalypto]

But, but, the wall that Mexico is going to pay for!! Freaking hypocrites.

Let me make my position perfectly clear…I don’t care if your name is Nunes or Jerry Brown…if you do not enforce the laws of our country…you should be removed from office. If you break our immigration laws, you should be prosecuted by the same laws you’re breaking.

Then let’s send ICE to go and destroy the dairy industry… I mean they can sell to Canada now… they will be fine.

The laws were written decades ago and in part…in exchange for the legalization of millions and millions of illegals. Our politicians on both sides of the aisle lied and the laws were not enforced. Now…here “we” are decades later and we have an alternative economy as a direct result, that to some degree, now relies on illegal immigrant labor. It was wrong decades ago and it’s wrong today. Enforce the laws…PERIOD but…set a date out in the future that allows the alternative economy that developed as a result, to correct itself.

From the article, it appears that the dairy industry in Iowa relies heavily on illegal immigration labor.

Your solution would mean burning the dairy industry to ground and then rebuild it. OR, we could update those laws that were “written decades ago” in order to allow these industries to keep functioning. I agree years of not enforcing laws has put us in a bad place, but your suggesting destroying everything in order to correct this wrong.

Are work visas no longer available?

@Smyrna

Our work visas no longer available?

According to fat donald, only for the best and the brightest.

Sure. And farmers should be employing people who utilize them. Doesn’t change the fact that the dairy industry would be destroyed if ICE raided them.

Enforce the laws…PERIOD and stop making excuses for not enforcing them.

Fair enough. Be prepared for the fall out. Lives will be destroyed. The economy will suffer.

Great. Steve King should bring ICE into his own district for a crackdown after reading this article.

I would love to see that.

[moonshine]

Go door to door in Kings district. Arrest every farmer hiring illegals

You don’t say?

“Eighty percent of the Latino population out here in northwest Iowa is undocumented,” estimated one dairy farmer in the area who knows the Nunes family and often sees them while buying hay in nearby Rock Valley. “It would be great if we had enough unemployed Americans in northwest Iowa to milk the cows. But there’s just not. We have a very tight labor pool around here.”

If the labor market is so tight in Northwest iowa, how come they aren’t raising wages to better attract potential enplyees? If the wages are good enough, people will travel or even move into the region for a good job.

Because, if you report to the authorities that your competitors are using illegal labor, nothing happens, at least under Obama, remember that whole priorities thing he had going? And if Trump tries to do anything, all the liberals rend their clothes and weep over separating the poor families.

You obviously didn’t read the article.

In it there is described the 2011 ICE raid of a farmer who used illegal labor… that guy was fined $250,000, three months in federal prisons and three years probabtion.

That is why the farmers in the area have formed a NATO like alliance where a raid on one farm is treated as a raid on all of them.

It shows the utter hypocrisy of a section of the country that will vote for people like Steve King and Donald Trump who work in direct opposition to their interests because of identity politics.

How is it not in their interest to vote Republican in regard to keeping their cheap illegal labor? What happens to that labor supply if they are granted amnesty and citizenship?

You might want to reframe your argument

[calirepub]

Conservatives always did enjoy exploiting their workforce.

@Jezcoe

Why? If your interests is in keeping a cheap illegal workforce, the last thing you want is for them all to become legal. They aren’t going to keep picking lettuce for peanuts if they can legally work anywhere else.
