Agriculture does not need illegal immigrants. I know many farmers and ranchers that do not hire illegals and they do just fine. Their cows don’t die and their crops don’t rot- they are able to get legal immigrants and/or citizen employees. The Ag industry is just like other industries, there are those that follow the law and those that don’t. The sad thing is those that follow the law have to compete with those that don’t. That is truly unfair and must be stopped.

Agriculture is where this mess all started with the illegals, many of my family and friends worked in agriculture jobs and were forced out by illegals many years ago. Many owners wanted the illegals because they would not only work for lower wages, but would tolerate unsafe or otherwise bad working conditions. At the time those of us that needed and wanted the jobs tried to speak out about what was happening but no one cared. It wasn’t their job. As the years have passed illegals have moved into construction, motels, restaurants, you name it illegals have taken the jobs.

We simply cannot afford to subsidize illegal workers and need the jobs for citizens.

And that is what it amounts to. We the taxpayers are funding the very people who take corruption as a way of life.

What the Democrat masters do not understand is that if the illegals were allowed to vote today, the Dems would benefit but only for a season. Beyond that, the new legals would vote in their own. And as far as corruption goes, you ain't seen nothing yet.
