Did you see in my post where we aren’t asking for ID? Background checks? On 300 temporary minimum wage workers? Gosh that is a practical solution. Thanks for taking the time to come down from your high horse for that practical solution

When I was a teenager, I picked strawberries in the Capistrano Valley, CA. Hardly what one would term, a high horse. There were a number of us teenagers out there picking berries right alongside migrants from Mexico.

When we moved to Oregon, same thing: kids in the fields, working at bringing in crops. Then those fools in Congress made it illegal. Now a number of generations have grown up not understanding the value of hard work and how to earn money.

Yeah, you’re asking for identification. And I understand how you think it unreasonable to do background checks on temporary minimum wage workers. It is unpractical.

But, are you asking to be treated better, or differently, than other employers?

I suspect that farming is changing. See my post at #56. If you do large scale farming and sell to a wholesale distributor you may not like what I said. But I’m very interested to hear what you think, and how the farm system we presently have SHOULD change.

The reason I believe it should change is at the bottom of that post #56.
