Mr. Bush said there are workers who will do jobs Americans aren't doing in the agriculture sector in particular, and without them the jobs will go unfilled. Who picked the cotton before the border to Mexico was made wide open?

Cotton is picked by machines that take 6-8 rows per through. Most if not all of these are run by the owner of the farm or a LEGAL hired hand that has been here forever and has the experience to run this extremely valuable equipment. Same for planting and harvesting. All the crops that I know about are planted and harvested with machinery other than some vegetables and fruits.
