Today, while my son and I were out in the car, we came across a wild turkey standing all alone in the road. My son hit the brakes and we waited until it went into the woods. In these parts, we give the right-of-way to all sorts of wild creatures: deer, geese, ducks, raccoons, rabbits, beavers, and squirrels. The area is teeming with wildlife, which is always exciting to see.
Farmers are facing a fork on Trump's immigration highway. So what's next?
Farmers need workers right now to pick crops, but simply cannot find native-born
Americans able and willing to do that. Unauthorized immigrants are both willing and able, though
first must cross that tight southern border, an increasingly difficult challenge. Is there a
remedy? Crops ready to harvest simply cannot wait.
Trump may now be yielding rather belatedly, saying he
wants to make farmers responsible for their workers. But can a system be created in time to
satisfy both Mr. Trump and the farmers?
- Reuters: ICE raids are disrupting the construction industry and worsening labor shortages.
- CEOs say raids are causing project delays and cost overruns.
- Some construction workers are in hiding to avoid deportation.
- DHS says workplace raids help combat trafficking and exploitation.
Tim Harrison, whose Alabama company is building a recreation center, said he cannot
easily replace construction workers born in Mexico and Central America with native-born
Americans, because most simply don't have the skills.
Ex-MSNBC star Chris Matthews insists that 'the country is moving toward' Donald Trump
despite some increasingly negative polling for the president on key issues. Matthews may be
right, but needs to offer more specifics.
