The cool thing is lots of folks on medicaid are working. They just make so little money they qualify anyway.

Or alternatively they are forbidden from working more because their current healthcare covers their medical needs but if they went full time they'd lose meeicaid coverage and receive subpar coverage from Target or whoever

But that's a simple fix. Let's just make sure everyone has healthcare. Make it universal, so nobody depends on working or not working to live.

They literally already said that Medicare folks can take the immigrants jobs.

TL;DR buckle up for some fun food insecurity issues that will start showing up in the US in the coming months.

It's just unfortunate that this BS is the way society is forced to realize that agriculture is built on exploitation, this isn't meant to be a "both sides" moment but neither Reps nor Dems ever really cared about this. It was just always hypocritical to hate on the undocumented while relying on them

However, we all know that this administration will find the worst and inhumane way to deal with the situation.

Don't worry guys, GOP politicians already have a solution that will save the day: cancer patients will be forced to pick the vegetables in order to keep their medical insurance, in a scenario that would be deemed too on the nose for dystopic fiction 20 years ago.

Its OK. In just a few more weeks we won't need migrants to pick anything. Better they stay in the countries we'll be buying food from.
