Well somebody needs to tell Rand Paul that first about 70% of the people who pick our crops are US citizens. Second we already have about 40 guest worker programs already in place which I feel sure can accommodate the other 30% of the foreign (Mexican) farmworkers we need.

11 million illegals who are here already don’t need a visa has they could probably have signed up for one of the existing guest worker programs. Most of these illegals are not looking for farmwork. They are looking for construction work or plantwork. These are jobs Americans could and should be doing.

Every time some plant gets raided and they haul off a 100 illegals thousands of Americans line up the next day for the jobs.

"Most" as in 97% - only 3% are involved in agriculture.

Its easy to spot a liar in this debate - he's the one talking about how badly we need illegals to pick our crops.
