Farms already seeing 'massive drop off' in workers as mass deportations begin: report

“People aren’t going to work and kids aren’t going to school,” Creamer told the publication. “Yesterday about 25% of the workforce, today 75% didn’t show up.”

Richard S. Gearhart, an associate professor of economics at California State University, Bakersfield offered concern for the food industry as a whole.

“If this is the new normal, this is absolute economic devastation,” he said to CalMatters. “You are talking about a recession-level event if this is the new long-term norm.”

Ouch! Moe once again caught posting misinformation. So embarrassing
How so?

“Bakersfield, California saw a massive drop off in the number of field workers showing up for work Tuesday while ICE agents in unmarked Chevy Suburbans rounded up and detained immigrants in the area, profiling individuals they believed to be field workers,” the outlet reported.

The roundup resulted in acres of oranges left unpicked in the California sun during the most active period of the season.

Many undocumented workers have reportedly been targeted where day laborers and field workers are known to gather, including “walking in and out of gas stations, getting breakfast, at Home Depot, or while driving along the 99 Highway,” leaving many too fearful to show up to work.

California is on fire. It's for their safety if they don't have a work Visa.

Hey Moe. Thanks to Biden

China owns 384,000 acres of American agricultural land. That's a 30% increase just since 2019. And on top of that, they own land near an air force base in North Dakota. That's a clear threat to our national security.
