Increased ICE immigration raids have had a devastating impact on American farms, leading to severe labor shortages that leave crops unharvested and threaten farmers’ livelihoods. Farmers, many already struggling with rising costs and high-interest loans, report losing 50–70% of their workforce, much of which is made up of undocumented immigrants who now fear deportation. Instead of offering real solutions like expanding guest worker visa programs, the government is pushing automation and proposing to force vulnerable Medicaid recipients, many over 50 and in poor health, into farm labor. Guest host Misty Winston and Close Guantanamo founder Andy Worthington argue this reflects a broader strategy to create a low-wage, authoritarian system that benefits corporations through scarcity-driven price hikes, while ordinary Americans pay more and suffer the consequences.
