      Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins laid out the administration’s vision in blunt terms on Tuesday. “There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way,” Rollins told reporters after meeting with Republican governors. “We move the workforce towards automation and 100% American participation, which, again, with 34 million people—able-bodied adults on Medicaid—we should be able to do that fairly quickly.”

      Slimey piece of dog shit.

        All of those “able bodied adults” on Medicaid will of course be able to do farm labor.

        Just like my younger sibling, who has a genetic disorder with scoliosis that makes him look like Quasimodo and had three open heart surgeries before the age of 18.

      I mean Germany requires people to work if they are on welfare. And their job placement program can even place you as a prostitute.
