I knew quite a few teens from Uniontown PA who took advantage of this summer ritual.
Prisoners, Paroles, community service sentences.
We need to get rid of the law that allows a pregnant illegal woman can come here, have a child and now that child is a U.S. citizen.
I do not believe any other countries have laws like this.
You can help. You probably don't visit often enough anyway.
Back then they had kids coming from the south spending their summers up here.
They had camps set up to house them.
You have orange cards that an employer can use during certain times of the year. Three quarters of the wages are held until the worker returns home, or is put into an account in Mexico
Your 73-year old parents are dole leeches?
I don’t believe I said that.
Those folks that actually do crop/farm work are 1-2% of all the illegals here.
They are not necessarily the ones with idle time causing the serious problems and the desire of most folks to put a wall up,in the first place.
So the author of this piece really has no clue at all about the wall or the real crux of the problem of illegal immigrants we are talking about.
Put an end to welfare and the minimum wage and we’ll have plenty of willing and able farm workers.
Some examples of the new hi teck/large scale farm equipment minimizing need of any manual labor.

Business are a lot more flexible than people give them credit for. When I first moved from the east coast to california I was amazed at how the car washes operate here. Back home it was all machines but here you get an army of latinos to swab down your car. Obviously illegals working for pennies. But back home no one was really suffering because we didn’t have this. When the cost of something goes up businesses adjust, it tends to work out in the end.
They are two of the 94 million people who are considered in the work force and who are not working, in their case by choice. So yeah, you included them in your remarks.
>They can’t pick asparagus with a machine. Although they have been trying to develop one for the past 20 years
Working AI has only existed for 5 years and cheap labor has greatly reduced the amount of capital thrown at picking machines.
My grandfather worked with some of those POWs south of Nampa, ID. Up until a few years ago, the old wooden guard tower from one of the camps still stood just east of Highway 12 south of town.

Use chain gangs.
Seriously. Put low risk prisoners to work.

...right alongside welfare recipients. There’s no reason the ‘can’t find a job’ can’t be picking fruit, up trash by the highway, cleaning out restrooms @ parks, etc.
Less than 5% of all illegal aliens work in agriculture and a good percentage of the aliens who do work in agriculture are here legally.
This is McLettucehead style Fake News.
7 robots that are replacing farm workers around the world

That’s what happened to Senator George McGovern’s daughter——very sad story.

Remember this Pima Indian?
Ira Hayes:
On February 23, 1945, he helped to raise an American flag
over Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima, an event photographed by
Joe Rosenthal of the Associated Press. Hayes and the other five flag-raisers became national heroes as a result. In 1946, he was instrumental in revealing the true identity of one of the other pictured Marines, who was killed in action on Iwo Jima. However, Hayes was never comfortable with his fame, and after his service in the Marine Corps, he descended into alcoholism. He died of exposure to cold and alcohol poisoning after a night of drinking on January 23–24, 1955. He was buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery on February 2, 1955.
