Why Farmers Voted For Trump

I'm a farmer, and I'm always surprised when people say we were "lied to" about what Trump would do to us. We weren't! US farmers knew Trump planned another trade war, and that it would hurt our businesses. And a lot of farmers just voted for him anyway. 

Want to know why? Get ready for real talk on wealth and entitlement in agriculture. Today's farm country isn't the same common-sense place that so many Americans' grandparents left behind.

The raids have been sharply criticized by advocacy groups and local officials, who said they were "outraged and heartbroken by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) activities targeting immigrant families". 

"When our workforce's lives are in fear, the fields will go unharvested, the impact is felt not only at the local level, but it will also be felt at the national level," said Jeannette Sanchez-Palacios, the mayor of Ventura, a coastal city just north of Los Angeles.

Trump has no plan for who will grow US food: ‘There is just flat out nobody to work’ | US immigration | The Guardian

"In the H-2A program, the way they're proposing to get rid of the regulations and any guarantees that workers get is going to look like legalized slavery.
