Las consecuencias de deshacerse de trabajadores ilegales

  Por Harlow Batalla.

Consecuencias de deshacerse de los trabajadores ilegales El ex gobernador de Georgia, Nathan Deal, implementó políticas de inmigración estrictas que tuvieron consecuencias económicas significativas. En 2011, firmó el Proyecto de Ley 87 de la Cámara de Representantes, que era similar al controvertido Proyecto de Ley 1070 de Arizona. Esta ley tenía como objetivo acabar con la inmigración ilegal al exigir a los empleadores que utilizaran el sistema federal E-Verify y facultar a las fuerzas del orden para verificar el estatus migratorio de las personas que sospecharan que se encontraban en el país ilegalmente.

Deal

La implementación de esta ley provocó una escasez de mano de obra en el sector agrícola de Georgia, ya que muchos trabajadores migrantes abandonaron el estado. Los agricultores lucharon por encontrar suficientes trabajadores para cosechar sus cultivos, lo que resultó en pérdidas financieras significativas.

Una encuesta encontró que las granjas de Georgia tenían una escasez de más de 11.000 trabajadores durante la cosecha de principios del verano de 2011, lo que provocó unas pérdidas económicas estimadas en 391 millones de dólares. Además, los intentos de reemplazar a los trabajadores migrantes con trabajadores en período de prueba fueron en gran medida infructuosos, ya que muchos de ellos consideraron que el trabajo era demasiado extenuante y abandonaron el trabajo.

Durante el mandato de Deal, en el primer mes, los conservadores sonrieron y rieron mientras los inmigrantes salían corriendo del estado.

El segundo mes, los granjeros notaron que ningún estadounidense respondía a sus anuncios para reemplazar a los inmigrantes en el campo. Incluso les dieron a los prisioneros de bajo nivel la oportunidad de tomar aire fresco. Dijeron, “de ninguna manera”, en una semana.

El tercer mes, los precios subieron drásticamente debido al costo de los alimentos cultivados en Georgia y Alabama.

Abbott

El cuarto mes, el propio gobernador se cansó de ser atacado verbalmente por los conservadores (no le importaba lo que pensaran los liberales), no solo por los granjeros, sino por sus electores conservadores.

El quinto mes, estaba claro que las leyes de “purga de inmigrantes” todavía estaban vigentes, pero a todos los agentes de la ley se les dijo básicamente que las ignoraran.

En Gainesville, Georgia, la capital del pollo, no es un secreto que toneladas de trabajadores son indocumentados. En años nadie ha reportado una redada allí.

El sexto mes, los inmigrantes regresaron y todo volvió a la normalidad. ¿Ha notado en las noticias que los gobernadores de Georgia y Alabama llevan a cabo “redadas importantes” y aparecen en la televisión, tal como DeSantis y esa perona rota y malvada en Texas, Abbott? No. Para nada.

No estoy defendiendo a los trabajadores ilegales, pero puedo ver claramente porqué no es un tema polémico en algunos estados.

    A lot of farms went out of business just one week with Trump as president, because they had no workers. Thank you, Agent Orange.

    No average American (I take that back, NO AMERICAN) is going to spending their life in the fields picking up fruit and vegetables for a living below minimum wage. Those are menial jobs that are suited for desperate migrant workers and it’s the reason why our food is relatively cheap.

    American Workers: Late, Lazy, Lack of skills, Lack of Motivation, like to complain, Long Breaks.

    Immigrants if you are ever allowed back to work for these farmers, charge them triple and demand medical and dental plus bonus and paid holidays because you deserve it.

    Overall economic impact of immigration, including illegal immigration, it is positive, contributing to economic growth and filling labor shortages in certain industries.

    Journalist Stephen Colbert did apply to work as a farm worker in 2010, Colbert teamed up with the United Farm Workers (UFW) for their “Take Our Jobs” campaign, which aimed to highlight the need for immigration reform by encouraging U.S. citizens to take up farm work. Colbert even spent a day working on a farm in New York state to show how challenging and demanding the job can be. Some Americans did apply for farm worker jobs during the United Farm Workers’ (UFW) “Take Our Jobs” campaign in 2010. However, the response was relatively low. Despite reaching over four million Americans and offering to link the unemployed with agricultural jobs near their homes, only 8 Americans (Colbert included) actually responded to the offer to work in the fields. Only Colbert actually worked in the fields. This low turnout highlighted the challenges of attracting American workers to farm labor, even during a time of high unemployment.

      True that. In the 70’s, I traveled around the country and Canada mostly the Northwest. I worked side by side with these migrant farm workers. The days were long, and the work was backbreaking. These gracious people out worked me ten to one. They got paid half of what I did and did double the work. I quit a few farms because if this unfair practice. These beautiful people busted their butts and sent most of their small earnings back home to help support their families. In spite of all that, they gave unselfishly to me of their food when I had little to none and of their warm blankets and firewood on the cold September nights to help keep me warm. I never asked they just knew. Like angles one by one they would softly approach me and lay their blankets upon me and some wood on my small fire and a plate of food to wake up to. I will never forget their heartwarming love and I swore right there all those years ago I would always pay it forward and so I have and still do. This is what makes not only America great, but the whole of humanity. We are each other, like it or not. Great good is in front of us when we are open to receive and give and have compassion for each other. It’s the lack of the willingness to understand that separates us from each other and closes the heart. Whatever happens, keep the heart open…

    I remember the governor of Alabama offered to send prisoners to work the farms.
    The landowners refused the help and said, “so you’re getting rid of these hard-working people cause they’re -in your sick mind- ‘criminals’ and you’re going to replace them with convicted rapists, child molesters, crooks and Murderers to work by and bbe around my family?”

    All I hear on the news is from the people that complain that immigrants are taking their jobs…so since the immigrants left that should of left plenty of jobs for the ones complaining. Why is his farm without workers. Surely, he has plenty of out of work people to help him right?
    I’m confused…

    If they voted for trump that’s their tough luck. I have no sympathy for any farmer who voted to destroy their own business. Americans will have to learn the hard way when prices go up. This is called voting against your own best interest. You can’t teach stupid.

        Una vez viaje a Miami y el señor del asiento del pasillo y yo empezamos a hablar de esto. El me decia que el preferia cobrar el cheque de desempleo que trabajar en el campo porque nadie lo resiste. Que el padre trabajo en el campo y termino su vida con miles de problemas en las piernas, en la espalda, vaya a saber que mas.

    It’s been 10 days since Trump took over and California growers are looking to the H-2A visa program to fill their need for farm workers.
