    You mean what the Leftists' say about Americans not wanted these jobs is a total lie? Imagine that.

    I'll bet real money that the "need" for these illegals is greatly overexaggerated.

    I notice that they didn't mention the immigration status of the new applicants in their post with a bunch of AI and stock photos. I wonder why...

    Hey OP, why doesn't ICE just raid farms, hotels and restaurants too ..... so that they could be flooded with applications?

    It's really that simple isn't it?

    Oh hey, and also; why did Donald Trump say that they'd be leaving alone farm and hospitality workers? Don't all illegals have to go? Did Trump just con his voters again?

    Seems strange when it's all so easy .....

    IF true, makes one wonder why the newbies weren't hired instead of the illegals in the first place.. Maybe your source should ask management why they are hiring illegals when so many citizens are applying. Hmmm?

    You mean there aren't guys in maga hats lined up for miles to apply for jobs picking produce in the hot sun for low wages and long hours?

    If you read the original linked article, it mentions most of the people looking to replace the deported migrants were Spanish only speakers. And the plant used E-verify, which ICE told them was unreliable.

    Really think adult, Spanish only speakers in Omaha, NE are citizens? And I thought E-verify was part of your solution?

    Regardless, there will be some production delays. It takes time to train new employees, and there is a always retention issues with new workers.

    The upside is maybe it gets a small percentage of those red state "takers" off welfare and Obamacare, but I suspect the others are right, most of the new applicants are immigrants ....
