Heat Claims Life Of Tobacco Worker
UPDATED: 5:25 pm EDT July 23, 2005
NBC 17 has received word of North Carolina's first heat-related death.
The North Carolina Labor Department is investigating the death of Rito Mesa Castillo. The 56-year-old collapsed while picking tobacco in Harnett County on Monday. Authorities said all signs show that Castillo died from heat stroke.
Health officials are warning people who spend anytime outside to take precautions.
This is the 15th straight day where temperatures have been above 90 degrees.
Doctors want to remind people to keep lots of water with them and drink plenty of it if you are spending a lot of time outside.

They have been called "migrant workers" since the depression (at least), when whites were competing for jobs against the Mexicans during the depression.

Migrant worker is their job title. Illegal immigrant is their immigration status. Lib media avoids the issue by only referring to them as the former.

Are all migrant workers illegal these days? My folks were migrant laborers for a while, and they weren't illegal--5th generation as a matter of fact. Just really poor after their folks went broke during the depression.

He could very well be illegal, in fact probably is (Vegas betting odds). But, don't make the assumption that all migrants are illegals. It ain't so.
Did I miss where in the article it said he was illegal?

You know, see tagline, I'm not for the illegals, but if the guy was actually working on a farm, I guess that made him a farm-worker.
Not trying to be argumentative. And I'm pretty sure this fellow would have keeled over no matter what. As we all will, sooner or later.

Be careful out there, folks. The heat here is really different from CA. In CA, when it gets this hot, you have no choice, your body takes over and runs for shade. Here, with the moistness (humidity), the heat can be VERY deceptive.
