Janille Baker expressed frustration with the anti-immigration sentiment, stating, "In any industry, everybody's trying to find help. So this anti-immigration stance doesn't really make sense to me." She highlighted the contradictory situation where the demand for workers exists, while there are complaints about foreign workers taking jobs. The ranch has even followed federal rules to prioritize U.S. citizens, but few have shown interest, indicating a disconnect between public sentiment and actual employment needs.
Tom Baker, co-owner of the ranch, noted the challenges they face in finding local help, remarking that "in the last six years, only two Americans called to inquire about jobs." He emphasized the practical realities of running a ranch, where the demanding work is often not appealing enough to attract local workers. His observations reflect a broader issue in the agricultural sector, where reliance on immigrant labor has become a necessity for survival.
