One of my younger brothers in law was all upset about how "they" used poor Mexicans out at the date palm groves in the desert ~ they had to climb up trees all day long, were not paid much, and then they were in danger of being turned in to La Migra should they cause problems for the bosses.

Of course, that was all true, but as I continued to eat my box of dates I reminded him that they could have still be in Mexico ~ and have no income at all, or worse, the groves could start buying cherry pickers and that'd enable one guy to do the work of dozens.

Last time we were out there I noticed cherry pickers at work.

Somebody must have caused trouble!

All you can do is tell your brother in law that the illegals do not come to the US and work as laborers because they are treated worse here.

They are free to leave if they do not like the work or pay. If life was better in Mexico they would stay there.
