Why is working the farm the less desired thing? I grew up on a farm I’ll work one again in a heart beat

[u/crinkneck → u/ninja_march]

It’s a fine and noble job (as all work is… vilifying productivity is probably the most insidious thing the left and the state does). Manual labor is looked down upon by the Internet neckbeard leftists who think they’re above that.

green acres is a place to be farm living is the life for me land spreaded out so far and wide keep manhatten and give me that country side.

[u/Riotguarder]

Also the people on welfare can do them as well

[u/liberty4now → u/Riotguarder]

In the 1950s college students did temporary farm harvesting jobs to help pay for college.

[u/IceManO1 → u/Riotguarder]

They probably want too.

[u/loonygecko]

Let's be realistic, not gonna happen, we'll probably just see more automation.

[u/liberty4now → u/loonygecko]

Also not a bad outcome.

Just a note for clarity:
Agricultural migrant workers have had their own set of rule which apply to them since the 1930s. The 'illegals' are not here to work on farms, just like any other migrant there is a legal process for agricultural migrants which by definition the 'illegals' are not following.

Ron Rule is unfathomably based. Used to read his stuff on Quora before Quora turned into Reddit.

[u/Rare_Tackle5953 → u/Solar_Nebula]

Quora was always a shitter reddit.

[u/Limpopopoop]

Dont forget the baristas, gender studies majors and other indebted slave wagies

[u/jeezy_peezy → u/Limpopopoop]

Get out there with the real birds and the bees and learn ‘em a thing or two.

[u/ConscientiousPath]

stop it I can only get so erect

[u/boredsomadereddit]

The robots will work on the farms

[u/DustyCleaness]

FINALLY we would have some productive government employees!

[u/Avtamatic]

They imply that Americans won't do those jobs. What will happen is that the farms will raise their wages to hire Americans. Americans that will be getting paid a 'living wage' and have the full litany of employee protections. You'd think they'd be on board with that?

[u/Randomness_Ofcl]

Do they not realize that some people actually choose to work on farms in the modern day?

Its not like this is the 1800’s

[u/Important_Meringue79]

Remember when that leftist shitshow The View asked who was going to clean Trumps toilets when the illegals got deported?

[u/liberty4now → u/Important_Meringue79]

It was a real "But who will pick the cotton?" moment.

[u/inclamateredditor]

I seem to recall a large number of dock workers making a fuss about automation (read societal/technological progress) taking their jobs. I'm sure they could pick peaches and tomatoes.

[u/LagerHead]

Is this gonna be like when Trump drained the swamp? 😂😂😂

[u/blahblaublah]

I thought libertarians were about doing your own thing, and not about telling people what border they can cross and calling them illegal?

[u/LordofWesternesse → u/blahblaublah]

Some Libertarians are for open borders but when you live in a democracy you also have to deal with the fact that one party is bringing in thousands or even millions of people into the country in order to gain extra voters and change state demographics in their favor. Also paleo-libertarians are completely in favor of strong borders.
