If farmers weren't "hurting" before - and they are now - then they obviously must have been hiring illegals. And now we're suppose to cry for them, and feel threatened by the TRAGIC loss of their lousy vegetables.
If you can't find the labor you want and need for your business, then here's some free capitalist advice: Go out of business like the failure you are.
Don't come crying to government that American laws need to be changed in order to serve you.

With 36 MILLION illegals already in this country and they can’t find anyone to pick their crops!
So much for the jobs Americans won’t do. Looks like Mexicans don’t want them either at the prices paid. Here’s a free-market solution-RAISE YOUR WAGES!

He should blame the Democrats who demanded a hike the minimum wage for no-skill jobs.

maybe taxes and minimum wages are too high and there are too many regulations? so the reaction is to turn to the underground economy

Some said they believe their fields will end up filled with rotting produce. The Bush administration has learned of the possible loss of millions of dollars for thousands of farmers
How much is "some"?
Millions of $$$ is but a very small fraction of the agriculture industry.

Isn’t there a employment problem with many folks out there on the West Coast that don’t have jobs? When I was hurting and needed some extra cash I cut pulpwood and firewood. That is labour intensive and hard work and it made me enough money to pay my mortgage and feed me...the work is there if one will get off their lazy asses...

This is bullcrap. What has it been, 3 months since ICE has actually started enforcing the law? Whatever deportation has occurred is hardly even a drop in the bucket.
This article implies a condition where all the illegal aliens have left and there is no one to pick our crops. How absurd. If there is no one to pick the fields, it can only be because the Mexican illegals won't do the jobs Americans won't do either.

If you can't find the labor you want and need for your business, then here's some free capitalist advice: Go out of business like the failure you are.EXACTLY! If you hadn't used unfair business practices to build up your business, then you probably wouldn't have so many acres planted that you couldn't manage and the vegetables wouldn't be rotting in the fields right now. I don't care if every one of these farmers go out of business because they used illegal workers to profit over other law-abiding farmers

When the south used a similar flawed argument, I remember there was a bit of a war...
Contract the work out to the prisons. Prisoners aren’t coddled, prices stay low, crops don’t rot, illegals have no incentive to stay here. Sounds like a winner to me.

How is this possible.
We’ve been overrun by illegal aliens.
What are the illegals doing?
