Who's going to volunteer to work the fields and the farms of America?

Legal immigrants, that's who. By legal, I mean people who came to the United States legally. If we need more legal immigrants, Congress can increase the number of legal immigrants that we let in each year. There are millions of people around the world who would love to come to the US legally to live and work.

Sir...please take a moment or two to read some of my post over time. I have no problem with your position. So many people jump to the legal vs. illegal issue. For myself, I have decided that they will come regardless of the label or status that you or the government puts on them. They yern to be free....so since our current laws do not stop illegal immigration, I believe we need to reform our current immigration policy to deal with the influx of immigrants who will come here regardless of how you classify them. They are human being seeking a better life, a better existance, free from the oppression of whatever country they are leaving. Go back and read the enscription on the statue of liberty....says nothing about illegal or legal...it says send them to me and I will make a nation out of the rest of the worlds rejects and discarded people.
We must continue the dialogue in order to solve this immigration issue, so I will continue to contribute what I feel is right in my heart.

Thanks for the post!
