[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought their agriculture commissioner was opposed to the rounding up of illegals because there isn't going to be anyone to harvest the crops?
There was an article in the NYTimes just a couple of days ago about farmers (I forget where) who tried to do without immigrant help and found out really quickly they'd made a huge mistake, as [b]even the unemployed locals wouldn't take the jobs (too grueling)[/b].[/quote]

Wow, even in this economy? [/quote]

Yeah, even in this economy.

Easier to sit around and collect welfare benefits than go out to work, especially manual labor.

I think its an interesting experiment though because this argument about illegals taking all the jobs is always used so I am interested to see what happens.[/quote]

There is a bit of a conundrum here for some people.  If you are working in a field dawn to dusk, making not enough to pay the bills, you can't look for the job you are qualified for, which will pay the bills.  In that kind of work, you don't get to schedule personal days for interviews and job fairs.[/quote]
