I agree on the fruit picking thing as no one wants to do that, but it's not the only jobs they take.

I support Obama on most things but IMO he should stay out of this Arizona thing. TBH, it doesn't matter what the Oval office says, the state will find a way to do it one way or another, right or wrong. (Look at Cali and the Pot stuff for example)

I think the law likely violates peoples rights, but that's something the court system should find out, and not something the Fed govt should be getting involved in.

To be fair, the only reason he's getting involved is because Mexico is bitching up a storm about it, so it's causing international issues between our two countries. Not that it matters to me, but really we do need a good working relationship with Mexico or the immigration and drug smuggling will get even worse.

If not for the international issues, I don't think he would be getting involved in this..
