Tom Nassif of the Western Growers Association, which represents fruit and vegetable producers in California and Arizona, said harvests were being put at risk because farmers were unwittingly hiring workers with false papers – which they cannot check – and then being forced to let them go by immigration inspectors.

But alas they can check through E-Verify if they wanted to but they don't because they know the documents are fake and they need the workers.

The only immigration reform I would support would be to transition illegal "workers" (and I do mean actual employed persons)into a NON-immigrant worker visa status.

No ability to adjust status to that of an immigrant without going through the normal application process. No citizenship at then end of a period of time, no automatic upgrade of status to that of an immigrant. You have to wait in line like everyone else.

Stay and work as long as you like, save your money and take it home with you and live like a king. Because you will be going home.

You forget one important fact.

Not one of these people will be sent home. They stay here, put down roots, and every person here starts feeling sorry for them and it’s over.

And then folks who should know better on our team, twist themselves into pretzels trying to devise a reasoned sounding plan to give the Left all they every wanted.

Permanent status. Permanent status leads to citizenship. I don’t care if it’s through marriage or a new act from Congress, they will be assimilated.

Job done.

[Count of Monte Fisto]

I have no problem with temporary migrant workers if:

1.) They wear a tracking bracelet at all times.
2.) Live in dormitories behind razor wire.
3.) Sent home immediately after the job.
4.) All felonies are punished by firing squad.
