Immigration laws raising issues for Florida growers

If trump gets his immigration policies working as he promised, 100% we will buying all our produce from mexico with a steep price because of the higher tariffs but much cheaper than ours anyway.

Florida is looking ugly now

Dumb people making dumb laws. Americans have been feed by illegal immigrants for over 60 years. Be prepared for food shortages.

Hell its dey farm let dem pick their own crops

This is trumps plan, we get rid of all the immigrants and put people who are on goverment programs into these jobs. If you dont work the assigned jobs you are given you loose your benefits. If you are old, sick, missing limbs it wont matter, remember you wanted this

Hypocrites

So who are going to cut the grass, clean houses and pools, watch the kids, serve your food? If there is no job the first who will leave are the immigrants.

Easy enough to do. Many countries do that for seasonal workers. Get them in when crops need to be picked, register them, so you can track their movement. H2b is designed for that. Just need to adjust the quota depending on the labor demand.

And our citizens like our senator 😂 sometimes I think the heat and humidity has clouded everyone’s ability to see that they’re being lied to

That idiot said “the economy is booming.” After losing more than half of the agricultural workforce. 😂😂😂

We have legal work visas yearly that Mexico fills every year. Many owners don't want to pay the reguired hourly pay.

So no crops no new housing but sky high house prices no insurance against natural disasters , Disney etc considering no further investment in Florida . Florida despite its investment in overseas tourism is now even more dependant on visitors from other states , once trumps policies push prices through the roof less money to be spent on holidays to Florida.

Let those who voted for this new president do those jobs, see if they can handle the conditions, the underpay, and no benefits after long hours.
Go on, get your jobs back, I’ll be watching to see who takes them…

The question that wasn’t asked of those growers was who did they vote for? Based on the overwhelming number of Republicans in this state I would surmise that they voted for the people that have directly impacted their business.

Ted its GREAT to see you still in the game

Send this video to the magas to see if they gonna take those jobs 😂😂😂

I would never do this kind of job,, hell no

The rich must work the farms!!! They can afford the time off!!

Trump will heavily subsidize such farmers and leave the problem to the next government in 2028.

Dont worry trump will put tarriffs on fruit in the future that is imported, so we wont have fruit or vegatables period. What a bunch of thinker's republicans are. No wonder they supported a convicted criminal for president.

Florida laws have consequences, so they dug their own beds. The Florida farmers did this when they voted for the convicted criminal. Now we all will pay the increased prices. Just wait till they go after all of the construction workers doing roadwork. I think the immigrants should be allowed to stay and the business owners put in jail.

I bet he voted for trump

When the duplicitous Republican farmer was asked about placing a notice for agriculture pickers or stoop labor workers he then was inconspicuously muttered, “Nobody showed up.” And that, given the urgency, was duplicitous, because what he should’ve sardonically replied with was, “No gringos managed to inquire or show up.”

While growing up during the 50s, it was predominately Latinos, Filipinos, and Japanese who would dare the elements and show up for those grueling harvesting summer jobs in the heat. To be sure, as juveniles, we notice the absentee AWOL majority group as simply prophetic, and sadly that irony still applies.

CBS is a bunch of liars what's going on in the agricultural business has nothing to do with politics the problem is a lot of these seasonal workers do not want that kind of jobs they would rather higher paying jobs

MAGA supporters and MAGA fanatics come out to help out the Florida farmers. You're needed to make America great again. LMAO 🤣 😂 😆 🤣 😂

Thats what you want

Hire through the H2A program. Problem solved.

Dictator Donald Trump don't want these people here don't blame it on the own American people only own Donald Trump

They want those people to work for them for damn near free but not to live in their society! Sounds very American to me 😂😂😂

There have always been seasonal migrants workers..what we didn't have was an open border. More propaganda for those who embrace feelings over facts

Desantis,, will pick your Fruits and vegetables,,, don't hold your breath,,😂😂😂

Don't worry,,Trump and Tom are going to do the picking Now,,😂😂😂,, Don't hold your breath

I worked picking fruit trees. You get paid well

the farmer are hard core republicans this is what they voted for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope that in Florida farmers cab get the cuban and venezuelans that just got asulum to work on the field picking up the vegetables

That's only half the truth stop standing up for youre illegal s working youre feilds

Maga supporters should apply to get these jobs.

America want these jobs back then give back to them walk out go home country there are no place on this earth will be better then home country

I don't like illegal immigrants but, "it is what it is" they are a big part of the economy.

Well the clock ⏰ is ticking hurry up and fix the problem or face the consequences

You voted for that..why the complaining!?

Paying minimum wage for back breaking jobs wasn't discussed in this report. The more difficult the work, the higher the wages should rise.

Send legal migrants that are willing to work and live with dignity to Florida.

You can’t have it both ways MAGA, you got your jobs back in Florida. Now get to work!

Racism backbone of America

Maybe his children can do the work.

I can tell you where this is going. Prison labor.

You know these farmers hire immigrants yet they look down on them. Yet again when the immigrants leave these same farmers cry.

Please help workers

Really I can’t believe immigrants would do this hard work for money while Americans can’t or won’t do it why is that
