Farmers say they need Trump to let in more temporary workers to keep crops from rotting in the field
The sun hasn’t cracked the horizon when Alfredo Betancourt and 19 of his countrymen line up behind a packing trailer, knives in hand, knee deep in dewy cauliflower plants.
A tractor growls, the packing trailer jerks into motion and Betancourt and his co-workers begin their routine: walk, stoop, cut, toss. Walk, stoop, cut, toss.
By the time the dense fog lifts from California’s Salinas Valley, the crew has cut enough cauliflower to fill a dozen produce aisle bins at a local grocery store.
They will crisscross this and dozens of other fields eight hours a day, six days a week, for nine months, sleeping three to a room in hotels long since shunned by tourists. Come December, they’ll board a bus and return to Mexico. Richer, they hope.

no wonder they voted for trump - all they have in the central valley is extreme right wing media -- 
It's not just the worker immigration problem, it's the deregulation of use of chlorpyrifos, etc etc etc -- none of that info makes its way easily to the central valley

Poor kids and sick folks will find themselves forced into republican farmers fields to pick crops from sunup to sundown.
Prison chain gangs too I bet from republican run for profit prisons filled with kids busted for smoking MJ.
MAGA baby!
