The Bracero program worked so well, why and who ended it?
Tell some of our 94 million domestic dole leeches to get off the couch and go pick some strawberries.
Cheap labor has been retarded progress in automatic picking machines for years. With the birth of real AI in the last few years machines are going to end up doing 95% of all farm labor once the illegals are sent home.
Cause and effect: We need them because the government pays our native born low skilled labor pool to sit on the porch and talk on Obamaphones.
An entitled Hippy who has never grown up writes a chamber of amnesty rant whilst placing his misspent youth on a pedestal.
I read the article so you don’t have to, and it’s time I will never get back.
The only reason human labor is used is because it’s less expensive. If it’s cheaper to have machines do it someone would invent a machine. Get rid of cheap labor and farmers will either pay more or get a machine.
It’s kind of funny. I got an email yesterday from a young man I know. He was asking if a friend of mine, who is a contractor might consider hiring him.
This young man has in the last year or so grown out his hair to be 12-14” long.
In my return email, I said that for him to be taken seriously as an employee, cutting the hair would be highly recommended. He emailed back and told me that he was planning to do so shortly.
That’s goo. I know another kid who will never get past McDonald’s partly because he looks like a stoner. He’s not. He’s actually a good Christian young man with high morals, but he doesn’t look like it.
No we don’t.
We’ve got the innovation to deal with it on our own. Technology, improving the jobs generally, making appealing short-term jobs for college students, etc.
Kellyanne Conway grew up as a champion blueberry picker—and she turned out okay.
Use chain gangs.
Seriously. Put low risk prisoners to work.
Grrr...
It will be a magnificent wall, with beautiful big doors.
5.56mm
DUH !!!
It seems no one listens to Trump.
He said many times that the Wall would have a BIG BEAUTIFUL DOOR to let people in, but they were going to come in LEGALLY.
More junk news. Not even fake news!

Dr. Oz: EEG Brain Scans Reveal Fake News Threatens Your Health
Observer ^ | 2/23/17 | Dr. Mehmet Oz

Our show will spotlight a first-of-its-kind social experiment to identify the dangerous and disruptive effect of fake news on our brains. We had high profile fake news creator Jestin Coler craft two fictional stories: one designed to prey on liberals and another on conservatives.
Women read the articles, not knowing they were fake, as neuropsychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen gathered quantitative EEG assessments. The findings supported results of a functional MRI study recently published in Nature Scientific Reports, which showed how challenging a person’s political beliefs could activate the parts of the brain associated with emotion and self-identity.
A self-described liberal woman in our social experiment reported feeling sad after reading a fictional article on illegal immigrants, but revealed stronger irritation and anger when processing a fake story about a jailed climate change researcher. Simultaneous changes in her brain activity were also much greater when processing the climate change story and correlated with a strong emotional response of angst and fear.
A conservative woman demonstrated opposite reactions. For her, the article on illegal immigration elicited changes in brain activity changes that you would see during a physical threat.
The women were not told that the articles were fake until they were seated on stage. What happened next was startling. First, the women understandably, but awkwardly, tried to defend why they believed the false stories, rather than expressing frustration that they had been duped. This natural human tendency was highlighted by one woman’s comment that while the news was fake, it reinforced a truth she felt about our country—so the piece was tolerable.

So protect your mental health by never watching ANCNNBCBS and some Faux liberals.
Never read any article by the NY or LA Slimes, Compost, SF Gay Rhonical, WSJ supposedly about President Trump.
Then: Donate Monthly to Free Republic and don’t read posts labeled as Fake News, Junk News or Not Even News. Let Trump drive the liberals and their mediots even more insane and depressed with his real news from Tweets and his controlled Press Conferences!
4 percent of illegal immigrants are farm workers.
I am not a CA native, but I have heard several speak of harvest jobs like this in their youth. Several did this summer after summer, and often during the school year too, High Schools seem to have allowed ag work leaves.
So not everyone was as easily discouraged as these “long hairs”.
We need to let the youth start picking again. I picked strawberries here in Washington state when I was eleven.
When I was twelve I picked strawberries, raspberries, blackcaps and green beans. I outpicked all the migrant pickers and made a thousand bucks in 62 when I was twelve.
Bought a blue transistor radio the year I was eleven -it cost $120.00 which was more than my high-educated but low-paid parents could afford.
When I was twelve I bought all my own school clothes.
The older kids, 15 or so, at some point during the season, headed off en masse to Eastern Washington to pick peaches, but alas, I was too young to go.
Yes, we;ll need seasonal agricultural workers. I’m okay if they have a green card. I’m okay if they are Americans. I am not okay if they are illegals. Let’s follow the law - it’s not that hard a concept for anyone but a democrat.
There’s nothing wrong with having an ordered, reasonable and legal migrant worker program. It’s the disordered mass invasion that have made programs like that unworkable and broken. We need to get back to what legally works for our country and not what works for illegal invaders. It’s worked pretty well in the past and can be made workable again.
