Many farmers and construction contractors in Idaho - closer to Canada than Mexico - say they could not survive without the pool of workers from Mexico.

I used to work in construction, mostly siding. I got out of it many years ago. The price contractors will pay per foot of siding applied hasn't changed in 30 years because of illegal workers. This isn't a "job that nobody else wants"; it is a job that nobody else can afford to take, because illegal workers have pushed legal workers out.

Punish the businesses hiring illegal aliens, and deport the illegals!

So how do you feel about companies that hire "scabs" during strikes?

You're strategy to keep wages up is the same as that of a union.
