Beyond shaking my head at this ridiculous statement.
Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

Isidra works with strawberry roots in Turlock CA. She travels one hour each way to sort these cuttings into bunches of 100. Each bunch earns her $14.50 so she works rapidly to maximize her earnings. #WeFeedYou

LIVE NOW: I'm at the U.S. Capitol holding an all-day Vigil & Thirst Strike for Workers' Rights. Our climate is in crisis & workers in every state are dying from the heat. @POTUS must create a federal heat rule and save lives — because workers can’t wait!

Eli shared a photo of one of the large bins of garlic she and her coworkers filled earlier this month in Huron CA. This bin holds about 900 lbs of garlic. The high this day was 109°. Workers harvest from their knees. The smell in the field can be overwhelming.

Heat stress is is a deadly risk for farm workers, and it’s even more dangerous for child workers. Farm workers are excluded from many child labor laws.
Their little bodies have less surface area, produce less sweat, and generate more “exertional heat” than adults. This strawberry worker is 7.
