Because that’s a permanent residency permit, not citizenship. If they become citizens, they’ll have to pay taxes.

The article specifically says this applies to citizens too

If the gold card program does wind up providing tax exemptions for recipients on income earned outside of the U.S., it would also create a two-tiered system where gold card holders enjoy a more privileged level of citizenship than natural-born Americans, who are subject to tax on such income.

You're not wrong but my grandkids pay like $10 a quart to pick their own blueberries at the bogie u-pick. If we have to have them to pick our food, can't they pay us somehow?

Fun fact: 50% of your produce doesn't aktually come from the US. They'll never tell you about that part tho.
 
Trump is just being normal, Trump can't go infront of the press and declare TCD like some people want. Trump is currently negotiating trade/tariffs with China, he has to atleast show some positivity towards the Chinese. It is a basic Trump tactic, Trump is willing to "humble" himself to get what he wants, just like how he personally prepares a seat for a foreign leader. The US isn't China where someones reputation is more important than their own wellbeing and countries prosperity. Western virtues about being humble and what not.

tl;dr The situation is a repeat of the event seen below:

I'm pretty sure if literally any location in the US was bombed, it'd be headline news, so we'll see if anything's reported in the coming minutes. Don't see anything on twitter yet.

"Firebombed" could mean Molotov cocktails and the government sometimes outsources paperwork to contractors. Not to mention that MSM is still saying "fun party atmosphere" about riots with cars and buildings literally burning live behind them.

Yeah because that's fun, they aren't doing it for 14 hours a day under the hot sun while their fingers bleed

Like I said, I don't want to share too much, so I understand if people don't believe me. Just suggest people keep an eye out. All I can add is that it's still a currently active investigation and outside the area of the riots, so likely won't end up as front page news.

Thanks for posting this. I was going to say but don't know enough about it...I was pretty sure machines like these are replacing a lot of farmhands and that this is the norm now not the exception. So the whole "farm argument" seems weird, although farms do report being unable to fill the jobs they have. My bet is a lot of those jobs are high-tech repair or becoming so.
 
I wonder if government subsidies to incentivize farms reliant on illegal alien labor to automate the process would be a good idea?
 
Maybe the reason no one wants to work picking crops is because a hundred years of swarthoid untermenschen doing it has ruined the optics so bad that kids would rather slave over boiling oil and get shouted down by sheboons at a greasy McDonalds before being a simple farmhand.
