As Noem targets migrants South Dakota dairies face labor crises

In 2015 Republican former South Dakota US Representative Kristi Noem said her brothers used the H-2A program to bring in workers during planting and harvest season but complained that those using the program were targets of the US Department of Labor and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. 

In 2020 Mrs. Noem sued to have the checkpoints that protected Native Americans removed from the highways on reservations. But today there are no checks on executive power and the governor's cronies routinely raid the state's general fund. The state is second in addiction to gambling, East River dairies are polluting rivers in at least three states, teachers' salaries surf the bottom of the US and wage slavery is the state's biggest claim to fame. 

Diversity, equity, and inclusion: Trump state economies are in the toilet according to Creighton University's Ernie Goss but it's not about laziness, it's about Maria shrugged, if you will. Now, South Dakota's governor is going full blown Netanyahu and planning to wall off the north bank of the Rio Grande to keep America white and she has targeted Venezuelans in particular.

In fact, most livestock producers, such as ranches, dairies, and hog and poultry operations, are not legally allowed to use the program to meet year-round labor needs. Even if they were, 10 months isn’t long enough, Nicolien Hammink said. Training employees takes time, especially for higher priority positions like calf management. Nicolien and her husband Wim Hammink own and operate Hammink Dairy near Bruce, South Dakota, where they milk roughly 4,000 cows. Hamminks employ 40 people, most of whom are from Mexico, Nicaragua and Guatemala. She and her husband immigrated to South Dakota from the Netherlands in 1995. [Who’s going to milk them?]

Dutch land ownership in the US exceeds 4.85 million acres just second behind Canada.

So since Kristi Lynn Arnold Noem (KLAN) is militant about rejecting potential workers at the southern border wage slaves could make real social justice change by walking off their jobs then calling for a general strike and tourism boycott to bring Kristi to her senses, too.
