Bray... that is what a donkey does. Maybe that is fitting, considering your defense of illegals and your inability to face facts.

I don't know why the farmers in your area don't use machines. You could be right about them.

I had more than TWO neighbors that were farmers, reread the post. We had two that grew apples and another 10 that raised other crops. Want to try again.

You are right that legume machines are far different than produce machines, in fact the machines are unique to each crop.

"Some do, but many/millions head for Mexico and live through the winter with their families. Why do you think that this is Mexico's top income??"

And yet many still do not wish to go the legal route to do it. We should just reward them.

Oregon and Washington is the apple capital of the US. I think these farmers know what they're doing. They need cheap labor that can climb ladders and hand pick fruit. This need is repeated throughout the agriculture industry.

And yet many still do not wish to go the legal route to do it. We should just reward them.

What reward? A three year guest worker program? They can then APPLY for the legal way. You are kinda speaking both sides of the argument with that last statement. Fact is, farmers out in the west need millions of cheap laborers and Mexico is the source. The smart political way for W to handle this would have continued to ignore the issue.

Pray for W and The Truth
