30. There have been packing plants subjected to ICE raids.

Lots of job openings when the plants re-open.

Lots of those WHITE people among those standing in line to apply for the open jobs.

I'm from a fruit and vegetable farming area of Michigan originally. Most, but not all, of the farm workers have been Mexican or Mexican-American.

Last spring, some of those WHITE people were knocking on farm house doors looking for work on farms.

Some jobs are nasty, and I did a couple of them myself when I was young.

But WHITE people will do those jobs still when those are the only jobs around.
