I'm all for hiring teens or young unemployed Americans for hard farm work, it builds character. In my boomer youth, there were A LOT of teens in the potential labor pool and no Xbox distraction. However, the fundamental goal here is to get the produce picked and processed when it is ready, else the food chain gets fucked up, farms could fail and people could starve. That strikes me as potentially creating a national emergency as a byproduct of a mandated social change. I don't think there are a sufficient number of available teens in the big farm areas to start with, let alone willing to do that farm work. I worked construction for my Dad. I was not available for farm jobs. I'm sure many other teens work in their Dad's businesses during school vacations for spending money and to learn skills. Years ago kids would develop entrepreneurial skills, going around the neighborhood mowing lawns, asking neighbors if there was any yard work or other tasks they could do for money. In the 1990s/2000s there were high school kids creating simple business websites for money, fulfilling a need as businesses jumped in line to gain a web presence. I'd love to be flipping a kid $25 every couple of weeks to mow my lawn. I can't find any ambitious takers. I'm not into social experiments when it comes to feeding the nation. A slow migration away from immigrant farm labor into willing teen labor sounds like a better path to me, minimal jeopardy to the food chain, we will get to see how well that works out and adjust course as necessary without creating a national food crisis through the elimination of all migrant farm labor with the stroke of a pen. I think it's dangerous and by the time we realize it was a mistake it will be too late to save those crops. I'm not a big farmer with big farmer issues, I've had a small 60x70 garden and know when something is ripe it needs to get picked immediately or it will go to seed, rot on the vine, become too mature. No putting it off. If I see bugs I know they need to be addressed or in mere days those plants will be infested. I know I need to get out there and water them when lack of rain causes leaves to start to wilt. The farm labor force must be ready to spring into action or the crop may be lost. I strongly disagree with Trump on Leisure industry migrant labor cut outs. Nobody is going to starve if they all get the boot and the industry will recover through educating young Americans in the skills/attitude necessary to fulfill the needs of the leisure industry. Trump is far more aware of that industry's needs than I am, but I don't see any significant impact to America if we just booted the migrants servicing that industry.
