Really, how can you bring them into the country legally if they are already here? Hmmmmm. That is kinda like "we broke the speed of light, but we did not move".

They migrate from Mexico in the winter to USA in the summer. Nice putdown!

Really, which crops? Can you justify that statement?

Apples, oranges, peaches, cherries and nearly every agriculture crop. Most fruits and vegetables need hand picking or damaged crop losses will put farmers out of business. In a world economy, higher costs equals foreign produce.

As for making unemployed pick, you going to have farmers pay their benefits, workmans comp and unemployment.

Once again, how do you have agriculture w/o cheap Mexican labor??? Still waiting.

Bump to that. We use them here in North Carolina!

"They migrate from Mexico in the winter to USA in the summer. Nice putdown!"

Oh sorry, wrong answer. They move to the northern states in the summer and move to southern & western states in the winter.

"Apples, oranges, peaches, cherries and nearly every agriculture crop. Most fruits and vegetables need hand picking or damaged crop losses will put farmers out of business."

Funny, I used to live down the road from a couple of apple farms and they used machines. We also had other agricultural farms around: corn, machine; soybeans, machine; hay, machine; wheat, machine.

Also: cotton, machine; peanuts, machine; nuts, machine. Do I need to go on? See you must still be living in the stone age for you to think that "nearly every agriculture crop" uses something other than machine. Machines have changed since they were first brought out, they are better at protecting the produce from damage.

"As for making unemployed pick, you going to have farmers pay their benefits, workmans comp and unemployment."

Is that provided to migrant workers now? Is that provided to people that go to the day work offices?

"Once again, how do you have agriculture w/o cheap Mexican labor??? Still waiting."

Once again, read the above responses. We had agriculture before the migrant Mexican workers, we will have it without. You would realize that if you would just take off your blinders.

Thanks for playing though.
