Ag Secretary Suggests Replacing Migrant Farm Workers With 'People On Medicaid'​

Agriculture SecretaryBrooke Rollins doesn’t seem worried that mass-deporting migrant farmworkers will disrupt the U.S. food supply.

But her explanation as to why not sounds a touch dystopian.

During a Tuesday press conference, Rollins insisted that “there will be no amnesty” for agricultural workers who aren’t authorized to be in the U.S.

Instead, Rollins said, President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda will “continue, but in a strategic way.”

She then suggested a doozy of a plan to replace deported farmworkers: A combination of “automation and 100% American participation,” which she said could be provided by what she called the “34 million people, able-bodied adults, on Medicaid.”

"I'm sure kicking folks off Medicaid and into farm work will go just swimmingly," one person said of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins' proposal.

Only the able-bodied will have work requirements...as they should.

When you work for the benefits you receive, and for the money you use to buy food...clothing... and treats for others, you appreciate them much more...

Maybe we should have a work requirement for people who sit on their ass all day pecking out sense and nonsense, mostly nonsense, for the Internet.

If only our virtue-signaling sanctimonious MAGAT friends would worry more about their own situations and less about others', what a wonderful world it would be. They are so very, very afraid that somewhere, someone is getting something they don't have, and it burns their shriveled souls like red hot coals. Right, Toxic?

@TOP, we know how much you adore SFEOs. Here's one for you. When my daughter was first diagnosed with cancer, she was working as an office manager for an investment company. Her husband had passed away in 2020, leaving her the sole support of their two minor children still at home. She and they qualified for Vermont's Medicaid program. Thanks to the good citizens of Vermont, they had health care coverage when she was diagnosed with stage IV cancer. At that point she was no longer able to work. Medicaid covered all of her treatments, diagnostics, medications. She spent most of the last year of her life in the hospital with only brief stays at home. She received the finest care possible at no cost.

Yet you and your ilk would require her to get a job or go without health care. You truly are deplorable garbage.

Yeah, like ignoring the "unelected bureaucrat president by committee" treason?

Requiring the young, able bodied to help pay for their benefits is nothing less than common sense.

We're going to need our own version of the Nuremberg Trials for this Administration.

Still, it won't change the fact that repugnantly stupid citizens
will always keep this nation in a fucking mess.

Are you saying there are no able bodied people on welfare? Remember when Clinton wanted welfare recipients to work for their food? It is a common sense idea.

Nobody said disabled although there is plenty of work even disabled people can do. Remember th term “handicapable”?

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

...and what about those who aren't working and should be? LONG OVERDUE updates needed... Totally worth it when all is said and done...

It is such a blessing not to be you or any other kind of MAGAT trash.

It's such an honor when they try I successfully to use my words....

Exactly...Working is such a boost to Self confidence..... you appreciate things much more when...instead of a hand out... you earn them yourself...

If you look into you'll find more than half of those on Medicaid already work, another third or so are retired or infirm, and administration of the requirement would be both expensive and a giant pain in the ass.

If they are retired, infirmed or working what would change for them? It's the 1-1/2-1/3=17% of you lazy parasitic fucks who will be affected. And explain how that's a bad thing. An almost 20% cut in expenses overnight? Makes DOGE look impotent.

That is just using your numbers as is which of course are bullshit.

What a dishonest post. Nobody will be putting the truly disabled or the elderly in the fields.

Trump and his administration are showing us all what they think of the people. We are all crooks stealing from the wealthy. When the rich are in charge, we are all treated like powerless employees and thieves.
Reagan told a lie about a black woman living like a queen and driving a Cadillac off welfare. Variations of that lie persist on the right to this day.
Don't look at the wealthy living in fabulous walled estates. It is immigrants and welfare people stealing your super-duper hard-earned money.

 

[Damocles]

Sounds like a good fit, folks have to have jobs to keep the Medicaid... there are some jobs going wanting... and if Americans don't want to do them it would incentivize them getting off the roles.

Hmm... I don't know if I like it, or if I just like the sound of it...

Just a chance for a new beginning for many people...

I wouldn't trust a maga to decide who is or isn't truly disabled.

And before you come for me, I don't trust insurance companies with this decision either.

The sad fact is that most healthy person receiving Medicaid are children and caregivers. They are changing labor laws in some states so children can work at a younger age.

Many Developmentally and Physically disabled people work..
It is not difficult to determine who is capable of working and who is not... Not with all the different working opportunities available...

It’s ridiculous, but this is where we are headed. Impoverishing Americans.
