“Looks at fields where migrants usually pick vegetables”
I got bad news for ya bud.
Time to tap into the seed vault? Terrible flavor, amazing roughage.
The article discusses that. H-2A visa programme can be used for seasonal work.
The entire animal husbandry industry all the way through slaughter, requires workers that show up daily.
I suppose it might be possible to have seasonal slaughters but milk and all the subsequent dairy products are done.
And any vegans that think is for the best, keep in mind it involves a genocidal like slaughter of all those dairy animals occurring within hours of workers being unavailable.
Feel free to show you really give a shit about these animals by getting ready to purchase them from these farmers and care for them for the remainder of the animal’s life.

Ok, but they’d probably it would be only once, instead of the current unending cycle.
Dairy cows are slaughtered for meat once they’re no longer productive enough anyway, aren’t they? Either way they’re going to die.

You didn’t think they got to retire in a nice meadow, did you?
Wow, Trump is woke?!?!? First making every US american legally a woman and now turning people vegan? Smh my head
It’s almost like attempting to enforce policy without nuance can have drastic consequences.
Hans Breitenmoser, a farmer, says the ‘dairy industry will die a horrible death’ if undocumented workers are deported.
When Brexit came into force and “migrant” (i.e. low paid Eastern European) fruit pickers were kept out of the UK, farmers here struggled https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/farmers-brexit-kent-government-brits-b940026.html
If apparently we can’t afford to produce food without exploiting low paid immigrants then either the people running the farms are money grubbing dickheads or there’s something very wrong with how society functions.
Good thing America stored all that cheese.
And salt too.
It’s about time!
We’ll have to go vegan
Yeah, right, like you’re going to find someone to pick vegetables…
I don’t expect a dairy farmer to know better, but of course he means “plant-based”, not “vegan”. “Plant-based” is a functional description, while “vegan” is a set of moral values and their ethical consequences. The dairy farmer isn’t saying that everyone has to renounce animal abuse. They are simply saying that it won’t be economical to commit atrocity for money any longer.
Nobody ever told me there’d be unintended consequences to my actions /s
Nobody ever fucking asks them who they voted for and why.
Maybe don’t vote for an Orange Turd next time because I know you farmers did.
I’m torn on this one. I want immigrants to be able to come to the US, but I don’t want them exploited in anyway. If these workers are deported it would shine a light on the industries that exploit them very quickly. It would be at the expense of the current workers. I wonder what they’re currently making pay wise.
Anyone could have seen that coming.
American cheese sucks balls anyway. And nothing of value was lost
