Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Watchdog on Wall Street podcast explaining the news coming
out of the complex worlds of finance, economics, and politics
and the impact it we'll have on everyday Americans. Author,
investment banker, consumer advocate, analyst, and trader Chris Markowski.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
So here we go.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Again, Wall Street Journal. Wall Street Journal loves loves illegal immigration,
and they constantly push the fact that this country would
not make it. We're all going to starve to death
if we didn't have illegals. So they got a piece
today and immigration crackdown risk sapping farms vital source of labor,

(00:41):
agriculture companies and labors fear raids. Forty two percent of
crop farm hands aren't legally authorized to work in the
United States. And they like it like that, Yes, they do.
They like it like that. Why do they like it
like that, Well, you don't have to pay them as much.

(01:04):
Where I used to live down farther south from here,
Sarasota Bradenton area.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
You'd see you'd see the buses, I think old school
buses filled migrant labors going out the middle of the
state to work the farms.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Every week. Our church down there on State Road seventy
formula clothes shoes for all of the migrant workers that
were there. You know, we're told and the Wall Street
journals saying, ah, this is gonna be bad for food prices.

(01:42):
It's not gonna be very, to be terrible. You know,
you're gonna start deporting these people and they're not gonna
have enough workers. You know, the food prices are gonna
go up. And then they have anecdotal stories here there's
this woman that they interview. It's out in Portland or
in here, and she makes equivalent about they say, twenty

(02:06):
four thousand dollars a year picking cherries, apples, asparagus, pairs
on the produce. She's been doing it since nineteen ninety eight.
Nineteen ninety eight, she's been doing this, makes twenty four
thousand dollars year. She's got four kids too. I guess
she's not legal. That's problem quite fly, that's just wrong.

(02:35):
It's wrong, and all due respect, I'm not buying. I'm
not buying the fact that, oh my god, is labor
costing up. They're going to have to drive food prices
through the roof. What a load of bunk? How is
it in Europe where they don't have all of this

(02:57):
inexpensive labor. All the it's an expensive labor coming in
all that. They've got immigrants coming in, but their immigrants
don't work, they just live off welfare. True. Anyway, they
got all you know, they got all of these farms there,
and they could feed their continent for a hell of
a lot less, and we can feed ours here and
they don't have illegal workers. Explain that to me, Well,

(03:22):
it's big egg, big egg, big farm again.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Throw it right in.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
Watch Dog on Wall Street. Access of evil, big business
politicians in the media, And here they are pitching us,
trying to tell us that it's okay, we as a
nation need to have all of these illegals here picking
our crops, so we're not going to eat. I tell
you what, Okay, if they're going to do that, make
them legal, make it legal. I want them to make

(03:52):
more money. This is wrong, Okay. Anywhere you slice it,
it's wrong. Watch Dog on Wall Street dot Com
