Farm Labor vs Illegal Immigration

From the New York Times:
Now harvest time has passed and tons of pears have ripened to mush on
their branches, while the ground of Mr. Ivicevich’s orchard reeks with rotting fruit. He and other growers in Lake County, about 90 miles north of San Francisco, could not find enough pickers.
Stepped-up border enforcement kept many illegal Mexican migrant workers out of California this year, farmers and labor contractors said, putting new strains on the state’s shrinking seasonal farm labor force.
Labor shortages have also been reported by apple growers in Washington and upstate New York. Growers have gone from frustrated to furious with Congress, which has all but given up on passing legislation this year to create an agricultural guest-worker program.

Who will tend the crops?

From the U.S. Newswire:
Maureen Torrey, 11th generation farmer from Elba, NY, and Co- Chairman of United Fresh echoed the sentiments of growers across the country, “The choice is simple: import needed labor or import our food. Agriculture needs access to a legal and stable workforce. Secure America’s borders, but please pass immigration reform. Without it, we’ll be outsourcing farm jobs and endangering our food supply.”
Craig Regelbrugge, co-chair of the Agriculture Coalition for Immigration Reform (ACIR), an organizer of the rally, acknowledged that labor shortages and even crop loss are already occurring. “We have had reports of shortages from coast to coast, from north to south, and crop losses in oranges, pears, blueberries, and other crops,” he said. ACIR and the United Fresh Produce Association support increased border security, but want to ensure that immigration legislation does not leave American growers and farmers behind. ACIR and United Fresh support reforming the H-2A program, to meet the special needs of agriculture and allowing trained and trusted farm workers a chance to earn legal status.
“American agriculture needs Congress to step up now,” said Tom Stenzel, President & CEO of the United Fresh Produce Association. “Time is running out. We need comprehensive immigration reform, or American farms will fail and American jobs will be lost.”

It's okay..USA!
Build the flippen wall and hurry up about it!
No more discussion.
I am anxious to see how quickly Mexico becomes more agriculturally productive with all of the hard working hands that will be here.
We also have a few bets out on how long it will take for the US to starve to death.
Or..are their plans in the works to put the poor elderly on Social Security out to work in the fields??
With all the cut backs on their benefits.. Looks like that may be the scheme of things.
Who are you planning to place out there to supervise??
Some of your Meth Head Welfare Mamas?



HEY!! THAT TROJAN HORSE WAS MY IDEA!!


Try this one guys!

Try this one guys.

Maybe fewer of you will die trying to get across to work and feed your families.
Beats the hell out of suffocating in boxcars and semi trailers left out in the burning desert sun.
You could even set up the inside with all of the comforts of an RV.
If you design it in the shape off a burro..
You can also tell immigration to
KISS YOUR ASS!
And if you think that all Mexican people are a bunch of lazy drug dealers..
