"In October 2025, Dummkopf Trumpf's Department of Labor enacted a rule changing how wages are calculated for some temporary foreign farmworkers on H-2A visas, lowering pay rates for certain jobs.

Two months later, the Trumpf Organization filed paperwork seeking approval to hire 36 foreign workers via H-2A visas for its Virginia winery from February through October 2026, saying it could not find enough US workers and that hiring foreign labor would not hurt domestic wages or working conditions.

The jobs pay $13.90 an hour, $1.91 less than what the winery paid in 2025 and below what it has offered for similar roles since 2021, according to Labor Department records."

This hourly wage amounts to only $28,912 per year. Moreover, the absolute basic minimum living wage for Charlottesville VA is $15.00 per hour or $31,200 per year.

How cheap, inhuman, and hypocritical can members of the Trumpf Crime Family get?

The only people who won't be surprised by this are idiot Trumpers.

They still think he's doing this "for America."

"During both of Dummkopf Trumpf's presidencies (2017 to 2021 and his current reign of terror when he seized power on 20 January 2025), the Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) has seen inter-galactic levels of financial gain. Analyses indicate that the wretched Trumpf Crime Family has made approximately $3.4 billion off the presidency in total, through various business deals, grifting, insider contracts, nebulous crypto-currency transactions, and increased asset values linked to their political status."

America allowed porous borders for decades, after the Bracero Program was ended in 1964, then someone told Trump that by 2045 or so, we whites will no longer be the majority so he is trying to find a way to have foreign workers in the fields, but not in the line for citizenship.
