We had family friends who owned orchards or ranches. My siblings and I worked along side illegal immigrant farm labor during the summer. For more years than I can count now I’ve driven up and down I 5 in California pass many a farm field seeing migrant workers in those fields. That is still happening today. To think that migrant farm labor, legal or illegal, has not been around for very long is either naive or ignorant.
"Been around for a very long time" is one thing...epidemic is quite another.... we also use to burn trash in our backyards...but that is no rationalization for contiuing to do that ad infinitum.... this argument is so lame I go brain-dead..."we'll since we did it for years we can keep doing it forever..."....argggghhhhh!!!
