After the last two decades, believing the United States has any ability to police its borders (especially its southern one) is willful delusion.
- devchix 7y agoI encourage you to give the podcast a listen. Hygiene and sanitation conditions for farm workers are horrific. The not-yet-realized future where undocumented farm workers successfully cross the border, then fall ill, is even worse. Now you have little or no crop, or contaminated crops, and a bunch of very sick people.
