The crazy thing about that article is after claiming he knows what people want he points out that when he talked about this subject with actual locals” “I was in Hawkins County, a farm community … and the farmers need the workers, and they can’t find local people to do this work anymore”.

Yes, that’s right. Since cracking down on border crossings, along with not having any meaningful worker visa program, farmers CAN’T find anyone to work the fields, and as a direct result of this fact – which follows from our lousy immigration policies – small family farms are continuing for fail, and food imports from Mexico and China and Vietnam and wherever else doesn’t have much in the way of respected controls over what sort toxic chemicals are allowed on the food, are all on their way up.
