This past weekend, I met with farm workers affected by mass deportations. Many women shared heartbreaking stories of their husbands being taken during traffic stops and deported without understanding the forms they signed, leaving families shattered. I spoke to two 11-year-old boys, one who had spoken to his father in Mexico and was heartbroken, and another who hadn’t yet communicated with his dad and was in tears. These workers, who have toiled for decades, often without any criminal records, are now living in fear. This situation not only devastates families but also impacts farmers and food prices. Mass deportations mean real suffering—families are torn apart, and children are left without their parents. It’s a tragic reality.

Tyson is firing American workers and hiring illegal immigrants, impacting small towns. The Biden administration's policies make it easier to hire economic migrants as asylum seekers. This contrasts with the Trump economy where American jobs went to American workers and wages rose. The shift to foreign labor under Biden is harming American workers and eroding the middle class. This practice must be addressed to protect the American dream.

We're at Hidden Rose Farm in Southern Ontario, where we milk about 260 pounds of milk. During the winter months, we produce even more milk because the feed is consistent. However, we're currently over our regulated limit set by the government and the DFO. The problem is that millions of people see this milk being wasted. I have 30,000 liters of milk that I have to dump. As dairy farmers, we have no say anymore on our own farm. I want people to see the pain we go through every day. We've worked hard our whole lives on dairy farms, and this is what's happening.

Lawn maintenance costs are set to rise significantly because 90% of workers in this industry are from Mexico. Stephen Miller, appointed by Trump for mass deportations, plans to target these workers, including naturalized citizens. American families are reluctant to let their young adults take on lawn maintenance jobs, leading to a shortage of available labor. As a result, finding lawn care services will become more difficult, and prices may double or triple. This labor shortage will also impact other sectors, including food supply and construction, as there aren't many Americans willing to take on physically demanding jobs like hauling cement.

Many women shared heartbreaking stories of their husbands being taken during traffic stops and deported without understanding what they signed. I spoke to two 11-year-old boys, one who had spoken to his father in Mexico and was heartbroken, and another who hadn’t been able to reach his dad and was in tears. These families, who have worked tirelessly in the fields for years, often without any criminal records, are now torn apart. This situation not only devastates families but also impacts farmers and food prices. Mass deportations mean real suffering—children without parents and wives without husbands. It’s a tragic reality.

Florida has a significant number of illegal immigrants working in agriculture, construction, and hospitality. With potential roundups of these individuals, concerns arise about the impact on these industries. In response, it's important to note that similar concerns were raised during the implementation of the E-Verify system. Under this system, employers must verify the immigration status of new hires. This ensures that only individuals with the legal right to work are employed, addressing the fears of labor shortages in these sectors.

There are reports of ICE notifications being sent to businesses in Chicago, threatening audits of their workers. This is especially concerning for Mexican-owned businesses like my restaurant, where all my employees are also Mexican. The potential fines of $20,000 per undocumented worker could bankrupt us. We understand it's technically illegal to hire workers who aren't documented, but people come here to work hard and improve their lives, and I can't turn them away simply based on their status. If anyone has expertise on this issue, particularly regarding whether these audits are widespread or targeted, please share your knowledge. In the meantime, I'm praying for protection and guidance.

The discussion focuses on the impact of Trump's immigration policy on farmers. There has been a 7% decline in American farms from 2017 to 2022, with farmers facing challenges like rising costs, climate change, and labor shortages. Approximately two-thirds of farm workers are foreign-born, and 42% of crop laborers are undocumented. Farmers express concern over potential mass deportations, which could exacerbate labor shortages. While economists suggest that grocery prices may not dramatically increase, there could be a rise in imported produce, raising environmental and labor concerns. This situation may also lead to more mechanization on farms and could threaten the viability of American agriculture.

Why don't I hire Americans? Simply put, we can't find the workers. We never receive calls from Americans, and they don't show up. That's why we deeply appreciate the workers who are willing to come here and do the work on our farm. We depend on them. We often can't accomplish what needs to be done with only people from our local communities.

Many Americans are concerned about the impact of deporting illegal immigrants on food prices and safety. However, only 1% of undocumented workers are in agriculture, with most residing in major cities. The influx of illegal immigrants from countries like Venezuela and Haiti is not contributing to farm work but rather relying on welfare in urban areas. President Trump supports a guest worker program for farmers and emphasizes the need for automation in agriculture. The administration will enforce immigration laws strictly, ensuring that illegal immigrants who pose a threat to public safety are removed. The focus will be on addressing transnational threats effectively.

I'm John Rosenow, a fifth-generation farmer in Womondie, Wisconsin. I own over 900 acres and 600 dairy cows. It takes about one person for every 40-45 cows, and about 90% of that work is done by immigrants like Kevin, who came from Central Mexico. Kevin works long hours for better pay than he'd get back home, supporting his family. Many undocumented workers, over half the dairy industry, work for less than Americans would accept. If I hired Americans, I'd have to pay around $100,000 a year per person for only 40-50 hours a week. I'd be out of business in six months unless milk cost $10 a gallon. If the new administration deports all the undocumented workers, I'm out of business quickly. Kevin isn't too worried; he's heard deportation threats before and hasn't felt fear lately.

It's tough work out here—hot and full of mosquitoes. For those who think it doesn't affect them because they don't hire undocumented immigrants, be prepared for higher grocery prices. American workers often need training for farm work, and many simply aren't willing to do it. On this farm, no U.S. citizens are picking crops. The work is heavy and difficult, and farm owners acknowledge this. Americans have other job options and often choose not to work in agriculture. In contrast, many immigrants come here to earn a living and support their families back home. They're serious about their work, as evident in the fields around us.

Farmer WARNS Trump Is KILLING U.S. Agriculture - Impending U.S. Food Collapse?!
reSee.it Podcast Summary
The podcast highlights the alarming decline of independent family farmers in America, with approximately 60 lost daily due to corporate consolidation. Host James Lee and guest Joe Maxwell of Farm Action Fund criticize current policies, including those of the Trump administration, for exacerbating this trend by freezing federal programs, gutting USDA offices, and reigniting trade wars. They discuss corporate lobbying efforts to overturn California's Proposition 12, an animal welfare law that actually helps small farmers compete against large meatpackers who control nearly 70% of the pig market and 80% of beef. Maxwell argues that importing beef from Argentina, as suggested by Trump, further betrays American ranchers. The discussion emphasizes the critical risk of an impending food system collapse, as the U.S. increasingly imports food while focusing on feed and fuel crops domestically. Solutions proposed include mandatory country of origin labeling and shifting government subsidies to prioritize domestic food production for national security. Citizens are urged to contact elected officials to advocate for independent farmers and a healthy food system.
