I'm sure right after the civil war people wondered how we'd have cotton without slaves too. That seemed to have been worked out though eventually and the farmers could work it out now too.

You think we should go back to sharecropping???

No, I think they could hire citizens at minimum wage atleast if they need people in the fields. The "Americans won't do those jobs" talk is pure BS. Both of my parents worked in cotton fields when they were young along with a lot of other Americans and I'm sure plenty could still be found to work the fields if needed. Bush suggesting that Americans won't do those jobs is an insult to Americans.
