I grew up dirt poor and was the ONLY white teenager willing to work in the fields alongside the Mexican migrant workers . . . On the up side, the back-breaking work helped me get into such great shape that I was able to leave the fields for the ‘run way’ (modeling) during the remainder of my high school and college years . . . Bottomline: I know a lot about migrant workers/the migrant industry. I also know that rational people of character and goodwill can disagree without becoming (hatefully) disagreeable!

Oh really, My father was a farmer, he taught me to look at the east end of a west bound mule. He pass when I was twelve I bought my first tractor at 15.

I live in the south and I do not believe in modern day slavery. Neither do I believe in selling out my country for self gratification.
