What will be on your plate this evening for dinner?
Ok, I covered breakfast earlier in the day and said it would be
something tonight leaning toward Latino food. I'm heading to
the kitchen to fry up some hamburger and add my homemade mix
of taco seasoning. Tonight's fare will be nachos with con
queso cheese sauce plopped on top of bite size tortilla chips.
I had thought of this dish last week but didn't have enough
chips to make a decent size plate of this. Also, forgot to
add it to last weeks grocery list, but this week it was on
the list and I'm good to go.
Did the restauranteurs marketing ploy of touting Cinco de
Mayo have anything to do with my Sunday night meal?? Probably.

Made coleslaw today too. I want it for dinner Tuesday and it always
tastes better a day or two later.

Did Latinos have something to do with your ingredients getting to you? Probably.

They come, they work, they stay.
But do you mean they worked in corn fields harvesting the corn to make
the tortilla chips? Doubtful as that's mechanized.

Worked on a cattle ranch where the steer graze and helped load them
on the trucks heading to the slaughter house? Possible.
20 or 30 million didn't just end up all working at DQ you know.

Worked in the processing plant making the con queso cheese?? Maybe,
but I'm hesitant swear to it.

Florida agricultural output is largely harvested by immigrant labor,
mostly from Mexico. The growth in the Mexican agricultural workforce in Florida began following the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1994. With agricultural wages depressed in Mexico, many
chose emigration as a way out. However their plight in the US has not
been easy, and such workers suffer from low wages, mistreatment,
violation of their labor rights, and sexual harassment. Day laborers
fare worse, often laboring under slavery-like conditions.
10 years on, it isn't much better for them either.
Ymmv.
Florida had new laws banning undocumented workers. They are new this
past year so the full effect is not known yet, but some crops are
rotting way with no labor. Potentially it is thought to cost billions
to the farmers.

No worries, advances in robotics and AI will soon render this old -
fashioned "stoop labor" obsolete...

Somebody should check for undocumented workers at Mar-a-Lago.
