Do these people not understand what illegal immigrant meant? It means not a US citizen, not documented here, no VISA.

Immigrant labor was a huge deal during Trump's first term, so if they didn't see this coming them there is no chance they will ever learn.

Under the Trump administration, dairy farmers and their immigrant employees say they are facing increased hostility and fear crackdowns that could jeopardize their livelihoods. Meanwhile, there have been legislative efforts to expand guest worker programs to include the dairy industry as it grapples with a growing reliance on undocumented immigrants for its workforce.

"If we couldn't bring these seasonal workers over, we would have less horticultural production here," said Jette Nantel. "And, we'd be buying products from other places and would have no say on the labor or environmental conditions there."

They then voted for BOTH fewer immigrants to work their farms AND higher tariffs.
