My somewhat educated guess is that these farmers in the PNW don't share the same politics as farmers in the rural south or midwest.

That and Republicans have grown way more hostile to immigration since 2010, so it's an interesting anecdote but not sure how well it translates across the US, where polling shows farmers are overwhelmingly Republican who tend also tend to hate immigration legal or not.

When you say it's an "educated" guess, educated how? It only seems to reflect the usual bigotry that comes out of the coasts.

If you're going to make a statement that sweeping, you really should back it up with credible sources.

"When you say it's an "educated" guess, educated how? It only seems to reflect the usual bigotry that comes out of the coasts."

I lived first 28 years of my life in the rural south and now live in the midwest.

My entire family and most of my friends growing up are the people you claim I'm bigoted against...

"If you're going to make a statement that sweeping, you really should back it up with credible sources."

The fact that farmers are generally far more conservative and republican than the median voter or average American isn't exactly some shocking new insight.

You seem to have never spent much time around these folks or have done much research on them if this comes as a surprise to you.
