HEY, MAYBE ICE GOONS CAN PICK THE CROPS AND MILK THE COWS...

I have a suggestion, call the White House and ask them to help find workers for the money you want to pay for an hour

By Texas Cattle Feeders Association

A joint statement from Texas Cattle Feeders Association, Kansas Livestock Association and Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association regarding the ongoing ICE operations in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas:

“The Kansas Livestock Association, Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association and Texas Cattle Feeders Association are closely monitoring reported U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity affecting agricultural communities in Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas.

Our organizations respect the responsibility of federal agencies to enforce the law. At the same time, cattle producers, feedyards, dairies, livestock markets, processors, and other rural businesses depend on a stable workforce to care for animals, protect food safety, and keep the supply chains operating. 

Sudden workforce disruptions can create immediate animal-welfare, operational, and economic consequences that extend well beyond an individual business. These ICE operations are having a massive chilling effect on the legal, documented, skilled workers that put beef on the table and keep the cattle supply chain moving. Additionally, these types of disruptions will lead to higher beef prices for consumers.

Reported impacts to our organizations throughout the past few days have been:

* Thousands of fed cattle slated for shipping to processors now delayed, resulting in millions of dollars in lost revenue and additional costs.

* Workforce disruptions at numerous supply chain chokepoints such as feedyards, dairies, processors, feed and grain companies, transportation hubs, and community services.

These disruptions come at a time of enhanced focus and pressure on the cattle and beef supply chain. They are a costly and unnecessary impact to cattle producers already suffering from unwelcome political interference to both the markets as well as the physical supply chain. Frustratingly, the harm these actions cause to cattle producers last for days and weeks after such operations conclude.

We urge federal officials to conduct enforcement actions in a lawful, orderly, and transparent manner; respect due process; and communicate clearly with affected employers and communities.”

This administration doesn’t honor the Constitution or the rule of law. Due process is ignored in America and when alleged narco ships are blasted on the high seas. Yet, the president and his family rake in billions in insider trading and fat government contracts. The public is distracted with created stats of undocumented people and crime. The real criminals run this country.
Let’s vote them out, fix our economy,
stop the financial hemorrhaging.

Manual labor will soon be a thing of the past.
AI technologies used in precision farming include machine learning algorithms, agricultural drones, IoT sensors, robotic automation, and predictive analytics. These technologies help optimize crop management and resource use for improved productivity and sustainability.
AI is solving vegetable-picking challenges by using machine-learning vision to identify ripe produce and robotic arms to harvest at precise points, such as the Vegebot lettuce harvester that achieved 91% localization success but still faces speed and damage-rate hurdles.

Good idea!
Ice employees will need new jobs after the next presidential election.

This generation knows nothing about the Bracero program. Maybe they should RESEARCH (yes, I am talking to the politicians). I thought Latinos were taking the jobs, come on there are plenty of jobs available for those sitting at home. GO GET A JOB MIJO, you are a citizen. The other day I was talking to a worker at Walmart (an older person). The person said young people call 24 hrs before on a weekend that they will not be showing up for work. They live at home, dont pay home bills and expect handouts.

I would respectfully suggest reconsidering this characterization. The Democratic Party, while advocating expanded government services, maintains a fundamentally communist ideological framework. Proposals such as defunding law enforcement, subsidized housing initiatives, food assistance programs, free public transportation, universal healthcare systems, and progressive taxation represents communist doctrine

The permissive border policy constitutes the primary factor that precipitated our current predicament. Although a more comprehensive immigration strategy is necessary, an unrestricted border approach does not represent an appropriate solution. All individuals must undergo thorough security screening and background verification. Simultaneously, we must enhance the efficiency and expedite the duration of this vetting procedure.

This represents a significant shortcoming of contemporary parenting. The virtues of diligence, integrity, and accountability have become antiquated concepts. Permissive parenting practices result in the development of unprepared and undisciplined youth.

7:12 It's your compromised orange leader that is in the pockets of the Communists. Rolling out the red carpet for Xi while ignoring the military assistance that China provides to Iran. Drone components, satellite imagery,
and the non-stop purchase of sanctioned Iranian oil. Requesting that Ukraine stop attacking diesel refineries in Russia is asinine. What about the
easing of sanctions for Moscow to sell their oil? The "defund the police"
statement is BS. Especially when the felons who attacked the Capital police
were pardoned by the communist-loving orange Jesus. A vote for the GOP ensures continued pilfering of our treasury by corporations and billionaires.
It also guarantees that violations of the emoluments clause will continue unabated. What do you say now, communist lover?
