Legal workers have legal rights.
On one hand you guys want to bitch that there are over 12 million illegals in this country taking your jobs, and on the other hand you guys want to pretend they do not work here.
None of you will pick fucking fruits and vegetables for minimum wage, let alone BELOW minimum wage, so don't even pretend you would.
After decades of this debate you are now going to blame Obama?! FUCK YOU!
Bush let in over 5 million illegals, just while he was governor of fucking TEXAS douche bags!
This debate is ridiculous. Even fucking McCain agreed to a reasonable path to citizenship (which is probably the best plan), until the righties went further right.
Now he denies it, and denies being a "maverick" as well.
Fuck off!

Again, farms have paths to bring in workers, cheaper than normal labor, no insurance, etc.. Most Farms have laws/rules that govern them to check for legal status of citizenship. As well they have rather easy paths to bring workers in for harvest times. They can lose the farm if they hire illegals.
Last year Vermont dairy farms were busted, some 2000 Mexican workers, almost all legal workers here on a Visa, working for far less than min wage. However some mixed in had illegal ID's....
We have a reasonable path to citizenship, it just takes awhile. Farm visa wise, it's no issue at all. The problem is almost all illegals crossing over the southern border, wouldn't have ever qualified for citizenship or a real work visa in the first place.
