Irony just committed suicide.

Can't wait for the ball washers to line up to cheer on this idea as "brilliant!"

Farm labour crisis, Yes, that is what happens when you deport your work staff,
And the grocery prices continue to go higher and higher just about every single week,
And for that matter, WHO does he think will be willing to come here? If they are brown they will be harassed and probably picked up by ICE and spend the harvest season in detention,
ICE does't care what documentation you have nor who you are nor why you are there,
Brown person = PRISON
Good luck out there everyone, We are all going to die because of this jerk
