Border crisis

[disgruntledemployee]

WRT to who is going to pick the veggies, I don't expect a hit to that ecosystem.  Migrant farm workers have been a thing for a long time.  A family I know that has a sizable farm operation in WI uses the same pool of workers every year and they have their paperwork in order.  Another example, I have family working in a shipyard and the co brought in some migrant workers for specific tasks.  This is a sizeable company where work can be dangerous, so you betcha they have their paperwork in order.  But then the visas were expiring and back they had to go.  But who makes sure they leave?  I think overstayed visas is an area that I think leads to large numbers of illegals.  Easiest kind of border crossing is one with good paperwork.

I'm still waiting for The Czar's report on the hugely number of MS13 gangers deported.

In January, Border Patrol agents at the Mexican border recorded 29,000 apprehensions, down 38% from 47,000 in December. The drop from January to February was even more pronounced, amounting to a roughly 70% decrease...
