No, you live in the only country in the world where they're at risk of something like this happening.

We will yoke unicorns to the plough, we will sow the magic beans, we will reap the greatest harvest in history and golden eggs will be a dollar a dozen.
Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."
