Esquire pubblica un reportage su come Devin Nunes, uno dei membri del Congresso sostenitori di Trump,  si prodighi apertamente a sostenere le politiche anti immigrazione, ma in realtà favorisca l’uso di immigrati non documentati da parte di allevatori nella contea dove la sua famiglia possiede una fattoria.

L’uso di immigrati non documentati non è solo da parte della famiglia Nunes, ma di tutti gli allevatori e coltivatori.

In every conversation I had with dairy farmers and industry insiders in northwest Iowa, it was taken as a fact that the local dairies are wholly dependent on undocumented labor. The low unemployment rate (it’s 2 percent in Osceola County), the low profit margins in the dairy business, and the global glut of milk that keeps prices low make hiring outside of the readily available pool of immigrants from Mexico and Guatemala unthinkable

“It would be great if we had enough unemployed Americans in northwest Iowa to milk the cows. But there’s just not. We have a very tight labor pool around here.” This person said the system was broken, leaving dairy farmers no choice. “I would love it if all my guys could be legal.”
