And, that is also one reason that Martinez, though a Republican is coming out for a "comprehensive = amnesty" immigration plan...

NOT just because he has an Hispanic last name...but, the businesses in Florida are probably begging him for help in NOT running their employee pool out of the country.

It is that same way in Arizona (hotels, motels, restaurants, construction)..California, Nevada, Texas, Louisiana..

Also, the New England seaboard area..for the hospitality industry.

Bloomberg said the other day that New York would basically have to shut down..if the illegals were all deported.

I don't want this to become an immigration debate thread...but, the orange crops problems was on Fox News..

AND, with the Congress coming back into session this week...no telling what is going to happen.

I don't think anyone will accuse you of hijacking the thread to talk nonstop about immigration. We cannot just totally ignore it, it is troublesome in States like Texas, and Florida more than others, but soon the rest of the Country will be bothered also unless something is done. I have lots of stories I could tell about illegals all true and all negative,but I think people now know all about the majority of the problems with illegals, and Congress will get the word, no amnesty period..We need to keep the pressure on so they do not make a bad deal in conference and rip us all off.
