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”?
