The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

LurkerMom: The farm houses usually are not torn down but use to house the 'green card' legally here for work.
Most all are family groups with children, not the single young adults sleeping on the sidewalks of big cities for handouts.

As I said before we take care of our own. The legal immigrants are a part of the community...

Wisconsin is famous for a dairy industry that is almost entirely composed of undocumented laborers.

Now, as then, our country is heavily dependent on undocumented Mexican and Latin American workers, even as politicians have insulted them, attacked them and enacted policies ' including taking away their driver's licenses ' that make their lives even harder.

Now, as then, whole industries, especially the Wisconsin dairy industry, would collapse without the labor of undocumented immigrants, who perform an estimated 80% of the work on Wisconsin dairy farms.

Like your belief in Trump, your belief that your dairy workers are "legal" is based on magical thinking, not reality.
