WPTV is told that some farm workers are already too scared to go to work and are considering leaving the state as new immigration law is set to take effect this summer.
Fraga said the industries that will be most impacted will be the farming industry, construction and hospitality.
While the rank-and-file conservatives just assume the market will figure that out or unemployed Americans will take this, the higher ups always engineer the enforcement mechanisms and fines, at least in the past, to make it easier to manage farm labor. As long as there are places in South/Central America where things are really bleak, some sufficient number will still come to the US. You just have the added advantage for disciplining labor of having them deported if they try to stand up for themselves.
But now things are being pushed too far by the base for the original intent of these policies.
To be fair, right now we have a labor shortage already and its in a workers class inteest to keep the wages high by not letting people in the country as it directly or indirect affects the most wretched of all commoditys.
This being said I don't think conservative types care or think about that line of thinking or logic primarily but we gotta be more nuanced then that because workers kinda have been abandoned for like 70 years, I just don't think waving away their concerns will be convincing
Even to people who immigrated through the system and are left leaning.
But that's just my 2cents take it or leave it

I think that’s exactly the answer. They haven’t thought it through that far and if you try to make them they just get mad

Thank you I tried to write this explanation but couldn’t word it well and gave up.
We used to have the cynics that didn’t believe the bile they were spewing, now we have the true believers raised on that bile.
