Senator John Curtis says, “Utah employers tell me time and again how difficult it’s become to find enough workers to meet growing demands.” Where, “Utah employers” is more accurately described as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

As a consequence, Senator Curtis (Utah) and Senator Mark Kelly (AZ) are proposing that individual states should have the right to issue H1B visas and import foreign workers without the federal immigration program in control. As the narrative is sold, there are no Utah Americans to fill the jobs available. That’s their story and they’re sticking to it.

[X Source – Story Link]​

On the bad news side, there is no issue that shows the disconnect between the American public and federal politicians at a greater disparity than the issue(s) surrounding immigration and the various work visa programs. On the good news side, if you look at the comments toward ideas represented by Curtis you see about a 9/1 ratio against them.

Unfortunately, the DC politicians will not listen to the 90% against them, because they have unlimited power and affluence as delivered by multinational corporations and lobbyists like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (US CoC); the modern inverted Fascism.



Immigration and jobs are the issues above all other issues which will could maintain public support for MAGAnomics. However, the pressure within Washington DC to keep this primary economic issue under their control is massive.

On the communist side (Democrats), mass immigration keeps them in power. On the corporatist side (Republicans) mass immigration keeps them in affluence. Thus, the battle is really one of We The People against political elites on both sides.

In this dynamic the control mechanisms to keep We The People fighting over other ancillary issues serves the primary function of the UniParty.

EXAMPLE: Consider Charlie Kirk’s assassination. In the immediate aftermath of Kirks killing, everyone realized the violent nature of the cultural communists behind the transgender ideology. Democrats and Republicans alike were both united against killing American activists. The communists, corporatists and IC operatives quickly engaged to fracture the American unity. Israeli conspiracies were boosted, and soon enough the abhorrent, violent sexual deviancies within the cultural communist transgender movement were forgotten. The division creates the diversion.

The same issue of division is deployed against pragmatic deportation efforts. DHS Secretary Mullin notes that once it becomes political, meaning once the narrative is shaped to be divisive, then facing the core issue is avoided.

We imported around 10 million unvaccinated, medically unknown illegal aliens during the Biden era. Joe Biden and the culturally aligned NGOs moved them throughout the country. Then suddenly, as if we are not supposed to notice the timing, measles, chicken pox, whooping cough and other communicable diseases erupted again.

We notice attention is diverted to the generic issue of vaccination; as if a few hundred always unvaccinated Amish folks, could plausibly cloud the reality of the mass illegal alien influx as the main factor in spreading disease.

Mexican poop on imported lettuce is another root cause issue we are not allowed to mention. Why are we importing Mexican poop lettuce at all? We are not allowed to ask that question during the discussion, which coincidentally is the same type of information control which Senator Curtis is relying upon.

AFFORDABILITY CRISIS – We imported 10 million people who are non-functioning in a first world system. The illegal aliens are generally uneducated; most cannot speak the language; almost all don’t understand simple American customs and norms; they need housing, medical treatment, transportation and basic services. At the same time people wonder why housing costs, insurance rates and general commodity prices skyrocket.

Again, in the era of pretending not to know, we are not allowed to connect the cause and effect. Eat your Mexican poop lettuce and be a good compliant Comrade Citizen – direct your anger toward the narrated need. We need more federal Faucis to protect you from Mexican poop lettuce.

We do not need more H1B workers, or any visa workers at all. Cancel them all, then watch what happens to the wages and job opportunities of young tech Americans.

Deport 1 million illegal aliens per month; shut down all welfare systems and safety nets for illegal aliens; eliminate all healthcare services and taxpayer funded education for illegal aliens; make all systems for immigration status originate from consulate offices outside the United States – effectively eliminating the process within America; ban illegal aliens from access to banking and remittance payments, and begin the process of filing criminal charges against any/all employers who have illegal alien workers in their organizations.

Immediately suspend the business and regulatory licenses for any employer caught using illegal alien labor and watch the wages of blue-collar workers jump faster than the 30+ million empty houses and apartments can hit the market.

If illegal aliens are no longer fattening the profit margins for Big Ag, the multinational corporations will quickly invest in technology to compensate. Modern Big Ag follows the same model of Big Tobacco or Big Cotton.

Pretend not to notice that Holland has massive industrial agriculture without fields of row crops planted and harvested by illegal aliens from Mexico.

Decline is a choice. President Trump is proving that with his revitalization program around various Washington, DC memorials.

Importing Mexican poop lettuce is a choice.

The same is true of illegal immigration. The illegal aliens exist inside mainland USA because they are allowed to exist. If they were not allowed to exist, they would not be here.

Deport all illegal aliens, cancel all H1B and visa programs and we will prove we don’t need Senator Curtis’s bill. American wages will rise. American employers will compete for American talent. American benefits will expand. American housing and insurance costs will diminish. American life will improve and Generation Z will flourish.

Deport all illegal aliens.

Importing Mexican poop lettuce is a choice.

Absolutely. Without fail it happens every year. These people do not understand hygiene. They’ll take a crap in the field in a minute. And I don’t know why we continue to import our food from China, Mexico and elsewhere. They want us dead.

Make farming great again.

 

[West]

We import food because of the cost of mandated payroll liabilities and liability in general, with most all things imported. We can produce the products here but its to expensive by mandate.

Until this issue is addressed things will not change. And the Main, Broadway and alike downtown streets in America will continue to be destroyed.

Sanitary habits of the rest of the third-world immigrants, legal or not, are also pretty suspect.

 

[Plain Jane]

Weis Markets is a central PA chain and their bagged lettuce is also produced in PA, I assume with little to no illegal immigrants. The last time I was shopping they had a sign up indicating that none of their lettuce products was supplied by the companies hit by recalls.

 

[blindhog]

They don't even know that you flush the wiping paper down the toilet. They will put it in the trash and let it stink. I know this from personal experience at more than one business location. Even after being told and having signs up in the toilet they will still do that. I know of one place that they took the garbage can outside the toilet and they still carried the used paper outside to the can!

I was told by Mexicans that I know here that’s just a cultural hold over from Mexico because of their septic systems.

Pretend not to notice that Holland has massive industrial agriculture without fields of row crops planted and harvested by illegal aliens from Mexico.

In past I would have scoffed at that thought. However, The Dutch farming system really is that good. It is one of the biggest food exporters in the world. And of course, their globalist overlords in Europe/democrats, as well as their Traitors/Rinos at home, are trying to destroy the accomplishments of that system. Sounds familiar…..

Absolutely. Without fail it happens every year. These people do not understand hygiene. They’ll take a crap in the field in a minute. And I don’t know why we continue to import our food from China, Mexico and elsewhere. They want us dead.

Make farming great again.

This sounds like my friends and myself in 1993 writing letters to DC to stop giving away the farm to NAFTA. Daddy Bush and Bill Clinton both went whole hog into the endeavor. A democrat and a Rino, and here we are 33 years later….
The communists and the traitors….

Do you know that we kill chickens in America and send them to China for processing. China sends them back to us. Why?

[summerthyme]

Because, due to West's occasionally mentioned <grin> mandated payroll liabilities, along with all the environmental rules and regulations, and the ever-increasing minimum wage laws, it is literally cheaper to ship them, have them processed and ship them back!

6 More States Reportedly Facing Cyclosporiasis Outbreak—What To Know​

Aug 05, 2026, 09:52am EDT

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is preparing to expand the ongoing cyclosporiasis outbreak to 15 states, the Washington Post reported, adding six more to the widening outbreak that has sickened an estimated 22,200 people with a so-called "explosive diarrhea parasite."

Key Facts​

The Post cited unnamed sources familiar with the matter in reporting the CDC will expand the outbreak to Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Missouri, where more than 1,000 cases have been reported.

The latest information from the agency, dated Aug. 4, confirmed cases linked to the outbreak in the U.S. have surged to over 10,000 (a 56% jump from the week before) and have been reported in 47 states.

Another 12,255 people are expected to have the illness, and two people in Michigan are confirmed dead from cyclosporiasis.

The 15 states linked to the outbreak by the CDC are part of a specific and traced multistate outbreak tied to contaminated Taylor Farms iceberg lettuce from Mexico, while the cases in the other 32 states represent sporadic background infections, international travel-associated cases or separate, unlinked clusters that the agency is still investigating.Forbes has reached out to the CDC for more information.

The outbreak is linked to lettuce served at Taco Bell and sold in grocery stores, but it’s unlikely all of the cyclosporiasis cases were caused by a single item.

You are 100% correct.
And that is why we make nothing in our country and instead import everything.
And that is all working fine with our just-in-time policy of having no warehoused stock of anything.
Until a single piece of the very long chain breaks and then we all have nothing.

In the mean time we just have to use a lot more toilet paper.

 

[Mzkitty]

Do what you have to do to avoid getting it. It's simply VILE.

I had it over a month ago now, and barely have my appetite back.

I have bought NO fruits or vegetables, except for a bag of cole slaw, and I'm still thinking about that one, as to whether to eat it or not.

 

[Secamp32]

Most places in Mexico you have to throw the TP in the trash. The pipes are too small and will clog up. I’ve clogged my share of Mexican toilets. Nothing says you’re in the third world like not being able to flush TP.

Salad and Go files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after cyclospora fears worsened its challenges​

Key Points

• Salad and Go has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, saying that the cyclospora outbreak worsened its existing business challenges.
• The upstart salad chain aimed to take on Sweetgreen and expanded rapidly under the ownership of Volt Investment.
• Salad and Go will close all existing locations.

Salad and Go has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and is closing all existing locations on Wednesday.

The company said in a statement to CNBC that it sought bankruptcy protection due to prior strategic growth challenges, weakening consumer demand and higher costs.

Diner fears around eating lettuce due to the ongoing cyclospora outbreak only worsened its issues. The water-borne parasite has sickened at least 10,000 people, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Two people have died have died as a result of the outbreak, the Michigan Health Department said on Monday.

“A Cyclospora outbreak in July, in which Salad and Go was not implicated, weakened confidence across the industry and compounded these challenges,” the company said in the statement.

The foodborne illness outbreak has hurt more businesses than just Salad and Go.

Yum Brands’ Taco Bell saw its traffic plunge after the Food and Drug Administration linked iceberg lettuce served at some of its restaurants to the outbreak; the chain pulled the affected supply, and Yum executives have said that sales are already recovering. Other chains not linked to outbreak, like Chipotle Mexican Grill
, have also seen their sales dip due to consumers’ newfound mistrust of fresh lettuce.

Founded in 2013, Salad and Go at one time aimed to take on Sweetgreen. It used commissary kitchens to wash its produce and prepare protein options, like chicken, before shipping out the ingredients to the restaurants that would assemble its salads or wraps.

Private equity firm Volt Investment took a stake in Salad and Go and eventually bought out company founders Tony and Roushan Christofellis in 2021. Under then-CEO Charlie Morrison, who previously led Wingstop

and currently heads Jersey Mike’s, Salad and Go pursued an ambitious expansion plan, more than doubling its store count. Morrison left the company in late 2024, reportedly after disagreements with the board.

Former Krispy Kreme CEO Mike Tattersfield took the reins in 2025. During his tenure, Salad and Go closed dozens of stores in Texas and Oklahoma. Those closures whittled the company’s footprint down to about 70 locations in Arizona and Nevada, which will be permanently shuttered on Wednesday.

“This is a painful day for everyone who built, worked for and loved Salad and Go,” Tattersfield said in a statement.

Salad and Go has assets valued between $500 million and $1 billion and liabilities in the same range, according to the company’s bankruptcy filing on Tuesday.

Anti-Trump GOP Governors Plot To Undermine President's Immigration Crackdown With Work-Visa Scheme​

by Tyler Durden
Thursday, Aug 06, 2026 - 10:45 AM
Two Republican governors with a long history of clashing with Donald Trump are working with Democrats on a plan to hand migrant workers state-issued work permits instead of deportation notices, a direct challenge to the president's immigration crackdown that the four laid out on camera. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox and Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt joined Democratic Govs. Wes Moore of Maryland and Matt Meyer of Delaware for a joint interview with Bloomberg, describing a shared position that has far more in common with the Democratic Party and the labor lobby than with the Trump administration's approach to the border.
Left to right: Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, Utah Governor Spencer Cox

The vehicle for that position is the National Governors Association's Task Force on Immigration Policy, which Stitt built after noticing a pattern among his colleagues. "The reason I set this task force up is because I realized by talking to my colleagues that they're having the same issues," Stitt told Bloomberg reporter Christina Ruffini. "Let's actually have the governors issue workforce permits."

That last line is the whole ballgame. The task force wants Congress to hand governors the discretion to issue migrant work permits at the state level, a proposal that treats illegal immigration less as a legal violation and more as a labor supply problem for agriculture, construction and hospitality. It resembles former President George W. Bush's immigration reform approach, which sent the message to illegal immigrants, "If you're doing a job an American won't do, you're welcome here, for a period of time, to do that job."

Cox framed the alliance as a breakthrough four decades in the making. "For 40 years, we've been trying to do immigration reform and nobody's ever been able to get it done," he said. "But what's different this time is that we have a secure border." He credited that border security to the current administration while working, in the same breath, to carve states out from under its enforcement arm. "We all care - Republicans and Democrats - about a secure border," Cox said, a sentiment that gets considerably murkier once the conversation turns to what happens to people already inside it.

Cox described a February meeting among the governors as almost startling in its unity. "We were together in February and having a conversation about immigration, and we were all shocked at the level of bipartisanship, cooperation, and agreement," he said. "We were really stunned that everybody had kind of the same opinions on what needed to be done." Bipartisan agreement among governors on loosening enforcement is not the reassurance Cox seems to think it is.

Ruffini asked the group for a show of hands on whether ICE and the Department of Homeland Security have been effective. Neither Cox nor Stitt raised one. Cox pointed to enforcement actions in Minnesota as a specific concern, citing "the violence and the deaths that we've seen" and calling the incidents "deeply problematic." Stitt was even more blunt about his overall assessment. "We're not using common sense right now," he said.

Stitt's example centered on a green card holder from Vietnam who has lived in Oklahoma City for 25 years. "We had a person from Vietnam that's been in Oklahoma City for 25 years, legally in the United States, with a green card, working at Hobby Lobby," he said. The man had self-deported after a marijuana arrest then returned to the country legally. "They've been a great citizen chasing the American dream, but they've been picked up for deportation now," Stitt said. Gov. Moore added an economic gloss to the argument, saying a deportation agenda focused on criminals ought to travel alongside pro-growth policy rather than replace it.

Neither Republican governor has a great relationship with Trump, and both have clashed with him politically in recent years, which explains their break with him on immigration enforcement.

The Trump administration clearly isn't on board. Trump won a second term in 2024 in part by promising to close a border that sat wide open for four years under Biden. Immigration has generally been the strongest issue for him, outperforming his approval numbers on the economy and foreign policy.

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin set the tone from inside the administration at the same NGA gathering, sitting beside Stitt and offering his own verdict on the odds of any of this actually happening. "Is immigration reform possible? No," Mullin told the assembled governors. "Do you really need immigration reform? Yes, you do, but can we work with the system we have? Yes."

We import food because of the cost of mandated payroll liabilities and liability in general, with most all things imported. We can produce the products here but its to expensive by mandate.

Until this issue is addressed things will not change. And the Main, Broadway and alike downtown streets in America will continue to be destroyed.

We import labor due to the need to compete vs foreign costs of labor..... ( yes similar to what you said ).

We need to push down the foreign labor. At some point it will bite us in the butt....

What needs to be done is the path we have now. Mechanical labor to harvest the crops. The more we have, the better we can handle this problem.

 

[20Gauge]

Sanitary habits of the rest of the third-world immigrants, legal or not, are also pretty suspect.

It is easy to say that, but you realize that something like 70% of the world does not use toilet paper. They use their hands or something like that......

That is due to poverty..... chronic poverty.

That will not change in 10,000 years. Why? We can never provide the USA standard of living to the world no matter how much of our wealth we transfer. Can we make it a bit better, sure. Not much, but some.

If you have something like $500k in net worth, you are wealthier than 97% of the world.

If you have $250k, you are wealthier than 92% of the world.

If you have $100k, you are wealthier than 90% of the world.

If you have $50k, you are wealthier than 80% of the world.

You wonder why people want to come here?
You wonder why people hate us so much?
You wonder why people poop in the fields?

They hate us with a passion that can not be described. They envy us with a passion that can not be described.

Plans must be made for what they will do to us as we import more labor.... it will not end well.

 

[20Gauge]

I was told by Mexicans that I know here that’s just a cultural hold over from Mexico because of their septic systems.

I was also.

That was in the early 90s

In past I would have scoffed at that thought. However, The Dutch farming system really is that good. It is one of the biggest food exporters in the world. And of course, their globalist overlords in Europe/democrats, as well as their Traitors/Rinos at home, are trying to destroy the accomplishments of that system. Sounds familiar…..

This sounds like my friends and myself in 1993 writing letters to DC to stop giving away the farm to NAFTA. Daddy Bush and Bill Clinton both went whole hog into the endeavor. A democrat and a Rino, and here we are 33 years later….
The communists and the traitors….

I think the Dutch are 2nd to only the USA

Tilapia are trash fish that grow in trash conditions...... that is normal.....

 

[20Gauge]

Most places in Mexico you have to throw the TP in the trash. The pipes are too small and will clog up. I’ve clogged my share of Mexican toilets. Nothing says you’re in the third world like not being able to flush TP.

Hardly!!

Nothing says you are in the 3rd world like taking a carp ( lol ) in a bathroom that has tiled feet and a hole in the ground with a light in the hole that comes from the river you are pooping into, that also is the local water supply.....

with rats running around, but it literally makes 1st world products and was at the time a "modern" factory!!!

This was a tour I make in the middle 90s.....

 

[diesel85]

My company was doing some work at a football stadium two years ago and they had a severe sewer backup when we were working there. Apparently there was about a 1/2 mile long 8" pipe that was completely clogged with paper towels, toilet paper, and waste. They had to use high pressure jetting machines with cutter heads to clear it. This was RotoRooter on steroids. I can't imagine how much that cost to clear that clog.

 

[Bubble Head]

Toilet paper along with other paper products are septic system killers. They are bad for the RV tank systems as well. The only modern civilized way to handle this is a bidet. I have installed one in the house and will be installing one in the RV. Super cleans the problem. Does not clog lines. Cuts TP bills to nothing. You simply have a washable cloth to whisk up the damp bottom. You laundry your cloth and reuse them. The one in the house cost around $50 on Amazon and I installed it in about an hour. The RV one I am looking at is about $135 and you have to install in tighter quaters but still not a big problem. That too will pay for itself. No I can’t guarantee cleaner lettuce but I can give you a brighter moon.

I spent enough time overseas to be well aware of the poverty. Not to mention the hatred, not from all, but from enough to matter.

ask to substitute cottage cheese or brown beans.

I even ask them to substitute brown beans for hash browns at breakfast.

[Greywolf036]

Absolutely. Without fail it happens every year. These people do not understand hygiene. They’ll take a crap in the field in a minute. And I don’t know why we continue to import our food from China, Mexico and elsewhere. They want us dead.

Make farming great again.

Ever wonder what they do with the waste "sludge "from water treatment plants,
AKA the local water and sewage treatment plants?
All that used to go to farms here in the states, first it was "free fertilizer".
Problem was the disease and NICKLE that was in it.
Then, only certain farms, as long as it wasn't used for "human consumption", that meant for grasses, hay.
And cows eat what again?

Then it was outlawed in most areas, so it became a suitable cover, for landfills to prevent all that trash from blowing away. A nice "topcoat" between layers. Even grows grass.
And every time it rains, all that water goes to a retention pond, where it gets pumped to a water treatment plant, and comes out as bleached , filtered "tap water"
So, if you ever wonder why there's things like nano plastic, odd chemicals, ESTROGEN, birth control, traces of various illegal and legal drugs in municipal water supplies, it's because there has not been a filter invented yet, (commercial) that can handle that, COST EFFECTIVELY.

AS PER Hired hand "Jose" pooping in a field, where the sun cooks and sterializes most bacteria and viruses, I'd be more worried about some municipality, or bagged fertilizer companies, ( you can figure that one out easy enough) either spreading that "toxic crap" or bagging it up, for you to buy for your own gardens, shrubs, houseplants, ECT.

Anti-Trump GOP Governors Plot To Undermine President's Immigration Crackdown With Work-Visa Scheme​

Two Republican governors with a long history of clashing with Donald Trump are working with Democrats on a plan to hand migrant workers state-issued work permits instead of deportation notices, a direct challenge to the president's immigration crackdown that the four laid out on camera. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox and Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt joined Democratic Govs. Wes Moore of Maryland and Matt Meyer of Delaware for a joint interview with Bloomberg, describing a shared position that has far more in common with the Democratic Party and the labor lobby than with the Trump administration's approach to the border.

The vehicle for that position is the National Governors Association's Task Force on Immigration Policy, which Stitt built after noticing a pattern among his colleagues. "The reason I set this task force up is because I realized by talking to my colleagues that they're having the same issues," Stitt told Bloomberg reporter Christina Ruffini. "Let's actually have the governors issue workforce permits."

That last line is the whole ballgame. The task force wants Congress to hand governors the discretion to issue migrant work permits at the state level, a proposal that treats illegal immigration less as a legal violation and more as a labor supply problem for agriculture, construction and hospitality. It resembles former President George W. Bush's immigration reform approach, which sent the message to illegal immigrants, "If you're doing a job an American won't do, you're welcome here, for a period of time, to do that job."

Cox framed the alliance as a breakthrough four decades in the making. "For 40 years, we've been trying to do immigration reform and nobody's ever been able to get it done," he said. "But what's different this time is that we have a secure border." He credited that border security to the current administration while working, in the same breath, to carve states out from under its enforcement arm. "We all care - Republicans and Democrats - about a secure border," Cox said, a sentiment that gets considerably murkier once the conversation turns to what happens to people already inside it.

Cox described a February meeting among the governors as almost startling in its unity. "We were together in February and having a conversation about immigration, and we were all shocked at the level of bipartisanship, cooperation, and agreement," he said. "We were really stunned that everybody had kind of the same opinions on what needed to be done." Bipartisan agreement among governors on loosening enforcement is not the reassurance Cox seems to think it is.

Ruffini asked the group for a show of hands on whether ICE and the Department of Homeland Security have been effective. Neither Cox nor Stitt raised one. Cox pointed to enforcement actions in Minnesota as a specific concern, citing "the violence and the deaths that we've seen" and calling the incidents "deeply problematic." Stitt was even more blunt about his overall assessment. "We're not using common sense right now," he said.

Stitt's example centered on a green card holder from Vietnam who has lived in Oklahoma City for 25 years. "We had a person from Vietnam that's been in Oklahoma City for 25 years, legally in the United States, with a green card, working at Hobby Lobby," he said. The man had self-deported after a marijuana arrest then returned to the country legally. "They've been a great citizen chasing the American dream, but they've been picked up for deportation now," Stitt said. Gov. Moore added an economic gloss to the argument, saying a deportation agenda focused on criminals ought to travel alongside pro-growth policy rather than replace it.

Neither Republican governor has a great relationship with Trump, and both have clashed with him politically in recent years, which explains their break with him on immigration enforcement.

The Trump administration clearly isn't on board. Trump won a second term in 2024 in part by promising to close a border that sat wide open for four years under Biden. Immigration has generally been the strongest issue for him, outperforming his approval numbers on the economy and foreign policy.

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin set the tone from inside the administration at the same NGA gathering, sitting beside Stitt and offering his own verdict on the odds of any of this actually happening. "Is immigration reform possible? No," Mullin told the assembled governors. "Do you really need immigration reform? Yes, you do, but can we work with the system we have? Yes."

Maybe we should send them some diarrhea lettuce...........
