Ponderable

This is about political correctness and hypocrisy.
I would assume the communities that put them up will only take them down when PC Antifa types protest in the streets & those communities buckle under the pressure.
Part of the argument for removing civil war statues are they glorified those that owned & fought for slavery...
PC calls for removal of any monument to those that are now considered historically wrong by the pc left.
Those that kept slaves , those that fought for the south and certainly those that committed genocide against Native Americans should not have monuments.
Otherwise it seems hypocritical, that's my read on it.

Styles comes and go. Ideas and influences come and go.

Your complaining that confederate statues are being taken down and replaced with newer, shinier and more modern ones. But this is the way the world works, and has worked across human history.

Yes... I do believe is statues honoring the American Army. And no I don't give a rip about honoring the Confederate Army.
I'm an American how else am I suppose to feel?

Seems as if the the plan is in place...H2A Visa

From the LA Times May 2017:
More than 11,000 foreign guest workers.... were approved last year to harvest the lettuce, fruit and vegetables for California’s $47-billion agricultural industry — a five fold increase from 2011, according to Los Angeles Times analysis of U.S. Labor Department data.
If this year’s hiring pace holds, that number will soar even higher.

One good article deserves another...
70% of farm workers in Redding are illegal in an area where 6.5 million live. But hey... 11 thousand new visas were approved in the state.

California Farmers Backed Trump, but Now Fear Losing Field Workers
MERCED, Calif. — Jeff Marchini and others in the Central Valley here bet their farms on the election of Donald J. Trump. His message of reducing regulations and taxes appealed to this Republican stronghold, one of Mr. Trump’s strongest bases of support in the state.

As for his promises about cracking down on illegal immigrants, many assumed Mr. Trump’s pledges were mostly just talk. But two weeks into his administration, Mr. Trump has signed executive orders that have upended the country’s immigration laws. Now farmers here are deeply alarmed about what the new policies could mean for their workers, most of whom are unauthorized, and the businesses that depend on them.

“Everything’s coming so quickly,” Mr. Marchini said. “We’re not loading people into buses or deporting them, that’s not happening yet.” As he looked out over a crew of workers bent over as they rifled through muddy leaves to find purple heads of radicchio, he said that as a businessman, Mr. Trump would know that farmers had invested millions of dollars into produce that is growing right now, and that not being able to pick and sell those crops would represent huge losses for the state economy. “I’m confident that he can grasp the magnitude and the anxiety of what’s happening now.”

Mr. Trump’s immigration policies could transform California’s Central Valley, a stretch of lowlands that extends from Redding to Bakersfield. Approximately 70 percent of all farmworkers here are living in the United States illegally, according to researchers at University of California, Davis. The impact could reverberate throughout the valley’s precarious economy, where agriculture is by far the largest industry. With 6.5 million people living in the valley, the fields in this state bring in $35 billion a year and provide more of the nation’s food than any other state.

No, I'm not complaining that confederate statues are being taken down.
I'm complaining about politically correct hypocrisy & mob rule.
That seemingly doesn't bother you....

If the program is in place, why not use it?
Did your 6.5 million illegals apply for the H2A Visa?

What doesn't bother me? That American's living in the American South East are taking down statues of traitorous soldiers- certainly doesn't bother me. I can promise you that.

Did my? In a time where the government is separating asylum seekers and their children I've going to go out on a limb here and say no. Probably most of them did not want anything to do with the federal government. Neither do the companies that hire them to come here America's billion dollar agriculture industry.

And round and round it goes.

Then they would be here legally as opposed to illegally.

Again, America has been putting up with an under-the-table "illegal" labor force for years. Personally I hear Trump prattle on about walls across empty desert and what he's doing at the boarder, and all I see is a populist. Or to say it in a more PC manor, I don't have any faith in his word or his willingness to actually be working toward a boarder solution- as I just think identity politics is a useful tool for him to get voters excited before an election.

So for me, frankly there is little surprise me illegals (or the billion dollar industry that draws them in) aren't going to be bothered with him.
