Everyone.. stop, take a breath and think about the insanity that is happening now

[Peacetrain]

The current administration went to the Supreme Court and got a ruling in their favor that the US can deport people to countries that they did not originally come from

We are currently deporting people who have work permits for this country.

So now people who got work permits to be here could be put in a country where they did not originate from?

When the manure hits the Westinghouse this fall, and we cannot bring our crops in because we do not have the immigrant workers we depend on to bring in the crops are our leaders going to do a quick mind change again and suddenly want to offer people in other countries work permits for the US??

Just how many people do they think will take them up on that??

1. Not to give them any ideas, but

there’s always that prison labor factor

[Lonestarblue]

3. They'll try to force children and poor people to take the jobs.

You get Medicaid and maybe SNAP if you work in the fields at minimum wage. Otherwise you starve and do without healthcare.

[leftyladyfrommo]

12. That's just plain sickening. nt

[Demovictory9]

2. More insanity..US govt can mistakenly deport Americans and not care

[lastlib]

19. Or purposely.....

Seems nothing stops them. This is the most odious mis-administration in American history by far.

[0rganism]

4. The plan is clearly prison labor in the fields

Just need to fill that pipeline and there's no problem, right? Oh yeah, about that, you spoke out against the One True Holy King on social media, so getcher butt into our alligator swamp prison and be ready to work yer ass off at 5am.

[DENVERPOPS]

5. They pay the private prisons (Corporations)

to house them, then the private prisons put them to work for literally pennies and hour and make another fortune........

6. That's why I believe the entire Rethug part is in on the deal to destroy America.

I just cannot accept that all of them are that freaking stupid. Some of the shit they are doing is OBVIOUSLY going to have disastrous and irreversible consequences that will stretch FAR, FAR into the future, even beyond their deaths. The legacy they seem to want to leave behind is complete destruction of American democracy. I am not a conspiracy theorist. I am just a housewife in Texas who has been right about so many things that I am scared to death at the evidence I am seeing that destruction is the plan.

7. Right there with ya, sister! Somedays I wish I didn't know what I know.

8. Work Permits Ignored

The court gave a nod with a grin,
"Deport them!"—though not from their kin.
Work permits ignored,
While logic is floored,
Will crops rot while politics spin?

They send folks away in disgrace,
To lands they’ve not seen, no known place.
With fields left to die,
And no one asks why—
Just power wrapped up in a case.

9. There are entirely too many people in Office, in DC and many state capitals, sitting around clutching their pearls.

Nobody has the fucking courage to protect our people in the fields, at their jobs, or on the streets in their neighborhood. Things are now beginning to happen organically. If you’re one of our so-called leaders, but still unwilling to help, please, at least stay out of the way., better yet, take a clue from those in office who are fighting the good fight and act like them.

16. There is no white knight- it's We the People or nothing

at this point .

[Magoo48]

20. Yup

[MaineBlueBear]

10. South African farmers to pick up the slack?

Didn't the tRump administration just import a bunch of farmers from South Africa? They'll pick up the slack, I'm sure. /s

[BaronChocula]

11. Definitely cruel and unusual

if not all-out torture. I dreamt of him being arrested while on his Hague layover for the NATO summit.

[intheflow]

13. I hear the recently welcomed white South African immigrants are looking for work.

And they're farmers! I see this as a win-win for all involved.

[Blue Full Moon]

14. Some of the idiots think that black people will now come and pick crops.

It reminds me of this skit.

15. One thing I'm totally puzzled by is by what authority anyone is being held in a prison in another

country and how long does the incarceration last? It can't go on forever. Then what? Some poor person is far away from their home country and has no means to get there. This is both insane, cruel and righties on the SCOTUS should be ashamed. They'd have Jesus picked up if he walked down our streets and send him to El Salvador.

[BurnDoubt]

18. They might already have done it...

Chronic Dumbfuck Syndrome endemic in 'MurKKKa. Isolate Them.
Every day a genius dies in the gutter for lack of Education and Support... The wages of Greed, Hate, and Evil.

[moondust]

17. And 100-degree weather

is not exactly an incentive to do roofing or other outdoor work often done by immigrants these days. Will the tech bros replaced by AI line up to take those jobs?
