Sorry, no illegal immigrant laborers are needed and there are plenty of replacements.

How many U.S. citizens are picking produce in California's Central Valley?
The workers are needed but, right now, no significant number of Americans would be caught dead picking produce.
A guest worker program would allow growers to legally contract for Mexican temporary workers. The workers would come over legally during the picking season, they would do their job, get paid and then, in the off-season, they would go home to Mexico to be with their families and enjoy the money they earned.
Right now, once illegals are here, they hide and stay here since crossing the desert to sneak in is something you would rather do as few times as possible.
