In reply to the discussion: She hoped Trump would revive her farm. Now she worries his policies could bankrupt it. [View all]yardwork
(68,938 posts)55. She also whines about US workers:
The American worker doesnt like labor, they dont like to do laborious jobs, Carlson said. They dont want to do the hard labor, and thats whats frustrating, because we would love to hire U.S. workers, but we cant get them to show up. We cant get them to follow through. We cant get them to finish the season.
Sounds to me like she probably has unreasonable expectations of her workers, so she's used the migrant program to hire desperate people with no rights, whom she can bully into working in unreasonable conditions.
Migrants have the jobs most Americans would be appalled to do - working in horrible, unsafe conditions in slaughter houses, poultry plants, etc.
