You do know that there are programs for temporary Visas where Mexicans can legally work in the fields but must return to Mexico when the Visa expires.
We employ Mexican workers who live in Mexico and commute. There is nothing illegal about it. They come to the US in the morning and return to Mexico in the afternoon. We also employ as many local, legal Americans or Mexicans with work Visas, who show up.
I’m aware of that they can come here legally on work visas but the Mexicans we have working on the farms here are illegal. The farmers smuggle them in and they are undocumented. They put them up in shacks that I wouldn’t let my dog live in and they stay all year. They never go home. We have a handful of State run farms that hire Mexicans but they are here on legal work visas and leave at the end of the season.
We don’t have a problem with the farm workers that are here legally. It’s the 99% that are illegal that bothers us.
I have signs posted on my farm in Spanish that trespassers will be shot. We haven’t been bothered since the signs went up. It’s really a shame that we are forced to put up with these animals. I live in an extremely rural area with few neighbors and I can’t even ride my bike down the country roads without packing my .40 cal. due to being harassed by them. If I walk down the roads I have to pack the .40 and take one of my big dogs.
I want them gone!
