US farm groups want Trump to spare their workers from deportation
U.S. farm industry groups want President-elect Donald Trump to spare their sector from his promise of mass deportations, which could upend a food supply chain heavily dependent on immigrants in the United States illegally.
So far Trump officials have not committed to any exemptions, according to interviews with farm and worker groups and Trump's incoming "border czar" Tom Homan.
Nearly half of the nation's approximately 2 million farm workers lack legal status, according to the departments of Labor and Agriculture, as well as many dairy and meatpacking workers.

"The only moral abortion is my abortion".
"The only moral undocumented workers are my undocumented workers"
Notice a pattern here?
They're not looking at the big picture. When child labor laws get repealed they can hire 10-year-olds at the same cost as undocumented workers. Having 10-year-olds running heavy farm equipment also mitigates abortion bans on the back end.
The long abortion
Unironically that is a great slogan to use when these things become reality.
No, they are. They'll just use the immigrants they round up as actual slave labor.

Of course. It's a "smart" business move. Lock up folks in those profitable private prisons then farm out prison labor to work the fields. It's a win, win financially where the rich make even more money.
The children crave the…. fields?
They don't care that they're hypocrites, it's what makes them right wing conservatives almost by definition. That and lacking empathy, having main character syndrome, and generally being racist or bigoted.
