The migrant farm workers programs works like this: You apply for a VISA and the paperwork gets shuffled around DC for 8 months and then about 2 weeks into NOV after the first snow hits, you get your VISA approved for the growing season! So next year, you say “screw it, I’m going in illegally like the rest of the people I know.” Ask the farmers in upstate NY why they have illegals picking apples all summer: “Because anyone who tries to fill out the paperwork to do it legally sees how futile it is.”

Why is it my 'compassionate' duty to pay for the education and the healthcare expenses for some upstate NY farmer to hire cheap labor? Why NOT go to the core of the problem and that is government controlled labor wages?

IF these control freaks make legal with a 'rose garden' signing, making legal what is illegal, then that upstate NY farmer will be required to pay the government wage. How has he/she gained anything?

These so called conservatives left untouched when they had the opportunity, (being in the majority) what they continue to ignore government controlled cost of labor.

AND IF these that think Amnesty is going to resolve their labor issues they have learned nothing. Once they get this so called cheap labor issue resolved, then these leftist will be seeking 'reparations' for all the dollars unpaid on government approved union scale. The courts will be tied up for generations with civil suits.

then they should end the migrant farm workers program, let the NY orchards go bankrupt, and import our apples from Chile and Ecuador.

Please, God, send the million illegals in SoCal to campaignPete’s neighborhood to live.
