I think students who want to work in farming should volunteer to work for farmers like picking fruits to have credits for their college degrees..

I Seriously doubt it is 20million i******s regardless of where your info comes from. BTW it's also vegetables and These corp farms are not going to raise pay to any reasonable level. The GOP is against a Living Wage cuzzzz It's Socialism. (As they have said Incessantly). There have been migrants picking produce since the 60's and even earlier. But go ahead and ask a local non commercial farmer if they can afford to pay $10/hr or more to pick their crops My guess is they will say You Are Nuts.

A "living wage" for everyone, what ever that is, is an economic impossibility in a free market economy. Prices always adjust up to the availability of money and some people will always be below the poverty line. In real life, due to economics and human nature, absolute equity can not exist.

Good point. The Democrats need more v**ers in their hog pen, folks who’ll do as they’re told until it’s butchering time. And I’m serious. They’ve brought drugs, they’ve brought weapons and for the most part, they are strong healthy young men.

They won’t work for less, as soon as they’re Americanized the price goes up!

Why not pay higher wagers to American farm workers so we don't need to use foreign farm workers???


we have regular migrant workers that depend on the farm work here one of the issues with all the illegal flooding the border is they will take the job from these workers need many come over from Mexico on a regular basis to do crops here and travel all over till the season is over and go back home

My mother worked in cotton fields when she was a young girl to help the family, she picked more than men but got paid less! Even if you paid people more they don’t come here to work they come here for your socialist handouts!

I grew up in an agricultural county . When I was a teenager farm labor was done by other teenagers --Women did the processing and Winos and railroad bums ran the equipment . We had Mexicans but mostly just poor White people . I changed irrigation pipe for one penny per pipe joint. Well as we grew up and found better jobs the Mexicans took our places gladly . Farmers and loggers find them eager and reliable while spoiled White kids quit - get in truble--get hurt--etc.

I say make the healthy collectors of welfare and the incarcerated work the fields!!!!!

They will probably tell you that because they can hire 3-4 i******s for what it would cost for 1 local. They don't pay taxes, so no paper work, nothing, just pay them their wages at the end of the week. It's about the money, nothing else.


Work on your Nader table collect welfare and v**e demonrat! That’s what they do! Then they send all the money to Mexico to pay coyotes to bring the rest of the family! That’s why Mexican president won’t stop them! It’s their gdp!!!! The i******s get all the freebies
