You’re saying “no, it always is, because I live in a farm community and it is here.”

Uhhh...can you point to where I said that?

The other person started with "my local" you started with stating you live in farm country and most do this. Implying you are correcting the other person to state what is the norm when it's not. There are even documentaries about the slave labor of immigrants and their children.

You didn't directly say it, but your words are implying this is what is normally is.

I am a different person than that person. Also I disagree with your logic in regards to what they said, because that definitely isn't what I took away from it

My bad I misread the name. And that's fine to disagree, but when I read "I live in farm country and this is what actually happens..." I read that as someone who is trying to come across as a subject matter expert attempting to provide clarity and set an expectation of what is the norm and what isn't.

In this case their attempt fails because we know most farms are actually exploiting immigrants. Which is directly contrary to the other person's statement that most farms just have some seasonal immigrants labor. Something they actually did say.

How do you know "most" farms are exploiting immigrants?

I meant the guy i replied to originally.

...can you point to where the guy you replied to originally said that? Because that didn't happen, either.
