They must just be pandering to the cult. Like the above poster said, what farmer will hire a completely inexperienced person or crew of people to pick crops for 12 hours a day. The migrants who come here to do farm work, work hard and know what they’re doing. I don’t know how any farmer supports this orange disaster.
