Try it. I couldn't do it, being a suburbs kid, the few times I tried it for extra cash. (Strawberries and wild blueberries).Practical isn't pro-longing a terrible problem. In fact, making it worse..I don't disagree with your solution, TN, except that if we don't allow all those agricultural workers to stay and get on the tax rolls initially, we're going to be up the crick without a paddle. I don't know who tells us that 70% of agricultural workers are undocumented--rich farmers ? Never actually met one. I heard it on Fox News. I do not support illegal immigration in any shape or form, and amnesty needs to go hand in hand with closing our borders, somehow. I just worry about the price of food, which is high enough already. Agricultural work is so back breaking that a lot of people would starve or start stealing instead. You almost need to start as a kid to be able to do it.Amnesty is PROVEN to incite more illegals. It is FACT. IDK how anyone could think it is the answer when history, EVERY TIME, tells you its not.70% of agricultural workers are undocumented. Think about it. Without them, we'll be in a lot of trouble. Amnesty makes sense.And we already know the bitch loves the FAILURE(consistently failed) of amnesty. INSANITY
Here is an immigration plan I have pondered that actually helps our country and its citizens and not the politicians or the corporatists. If people ACTUALLY CARED, this is what immigration "reform" would like
It even defeats your cliché "70% of agricultural workers are undocumented. Think about it. Without them, we'll be in a lot of trouble". Which is nothing more than what the rich tell people to say.
GO after CAUSES. It is called "solving problems"
TNHarleys solution to the immigration problem
Just being practical.
I never understood the inconsistency from that. If they got citizenship, that would mean they would have to work for minimum wage....
Why cant Americans just do it?
But TN, if Americans are "just going to do it," won't they get minimum wage, too? Do we need a different pay scale for agricultural workers? Give them produce to take home or something as compensation? Maybe the country can't afford to eat so much anymore if we make the system legal. Might help with the obesity problem, though. And we do grow much more than we consume. A lot goes to waste before it ever hits the markets.
