Oranges Smoranges

From NBC, this breaking news:  

The impact of President-elect Donald Trump's promise of mass deportation is already starting to show.

The California Farm Bureau says fears in the Central Valley have led to migrant farmworkers not showing up for work, which has virtually halted the area's citrus harvest. Agriculture leaders in the Bay Area are worried about something similar happening locally and what it could mean for citrus prices.

It’s the peak of citrus harvest season in Kern County right now, but the industry is taking a hit after immigration agents conducted several operations last week, targeting undocumented immigrants with criminal records.

The state farm bureau reports that action made some agriculture workers too afraid to show up for work.

"We are certainly very concerned about what is happening and how that is unfolding," Monterey County Farm Bureau Executive Director Norm Groot said.

The Monterey County Farm Bureau said it is keeping a close eye on the developments in the Central Valley. Harvest season in the Salinas Valley begins in late April.

The farm bureau said just the threat of deportation could be enough to deter many of the 55,000 migrant workers the valley needs to operate during harvest season.

"They’re not going to show up for work and that means crops will remain in the field and not be harvested and probably lost at that point," Groot said.

Doesn't worry me at all.

Not one little bit. 

Because after all their fiery rhetoric about patriotism and how immigrants are stealin' all them good Murrican jobs, I am 100% certain that these ambulatory lardons --

-- (some of whom are now out-of-pocket several thousand dollars because Orange Julius Caesar decided he was too frail for an outdoor inauguration) are, even now, hying themselves across the continent to snap up all those suddenly-vacant, low-wage, back-breaking fruit picking jobs that Trump has just created.
