I didn't think the agriculture industry had this much power.... but then, if the record industry can get its own legislation passed... it must be worth a try, y'know?

I saw a story, in the Raleigh News & Observer, quoting actual farmers in North Carolina who are saying THERE AREN'T ENOUGH ILLEGALS FOR US TO GET THE CROPS HARVESTED. They're on record. Twenty years ago I spent time putting tobacco up, and crops were what every kid did, all summer long. Just bringing this up at FR brought others who had a similar experience out, but it also incurred comments to me, how idiotic I must be to even suggest that teenagers would or could do this work. I don't even understand what is going on any more.
