Since I live in Florida, which has an identical problem as California regarding farm labor, I have a solution. Send in 100 INS agents supported by National Guard troops, round up the illegals and send them back to Mexico. But that's too logical. Laws can be broken as long as it's convenient to those that think the poor deserve to get into our country any way they can. Despite the fact that they did it illegally and continue to drink like pigs from the taxpayer trough. May they all burn in hell for stealing my tax dollars. Send them all back now. Before our borders, language and culture are completely destroyed.

BUMP for Simon.

No sympathy for the Marxists at the UFW.
