As well as working the fields, in the US, producing US food.
I think its something like 70% of farm laborers in the US have now just quit, vanished.
So we're gonna have a famine now, or just replace migrant laborers with imprisoned slave labor, because US farms absolutely cannot afford to operate by paying a wage that would convince nearly any actual 'legal citizen' American to do the work.
('legal citizen' in quotes because apparently citizenship can now just be revoked for... any arbitrary reason)
Shit's extremely difficult, complicated, and dangerous.
Its a fucking crime we call that 'unskilled labor', fucking no way, picking and harvesting as fast as US farms demand is absolutely a complex and difficult skill, the kind of thing that people can and do have competitions of.
