“The threat of deportation and the potential loss of our workforce has been very terrifying for all of us businesses here,” Trista Priest, chief strategy office for Cattle Empire, a massive cattle operation that overwhelmingly employs Latinos

It isn't just Kansas.  Latino workers in Wisconsin are leaving Dairy Farms and heading back to Mexico.

Farm owners Doug and Toni Knoepke watch Hernandez and the other workers from a few feet away as they load their two-truck caravan. It looks like a scene from "The Grapes of Wrath," Doug Knoepke remarks, referring to the movie about the mass migration from the Oklahoma Dust Bowl to California in the 1930s.

Only this time, it is in reverse: The migrants are leaving a land abundant with economic opportunity for an uncertain future in their homeland.

"Miguel has been our right hand," Knoepke said. "He treated (the farm) like he owned it. We’re really saddened, scared. I don’t know. It’s sad."
In the first 100 days of the Trump administration, arrests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the Midwestern region increased over the previous two years.
In Wisconsin, farmers like Knoepke depend heavily on workers like Hernandez. Seeing him and the other workers leave worries this first generation farmer with 650 cows.
"I don't know where the industry would be without (immigrant labor) right now," Knoepke said. "We're relyin’ on it and what it does for Wisconsin and our economy."

I'm sure there will be tens of thousands of unemployed murrican citizens lining up to take these jobs.  Maybe those coal miners can learn to milk cows.
