[quote]“The crew didn’t show up,” said Peter Belluomini, who grows and packs lemons, mandarins and navel oranges east of Bakersfield, and is in the middle of harvesting all three crops. “Instead of 30 people, there were like five,” said Belluomini, referring to workers hired through a farm labor contractor for his citrus harvest. “The rest were hiding at home.”[/quote]

The info in this is coming from California Farm Bureau. For those not from an ag background the Farm Bureau has always been the more conservative of farmer organizations--strong ties to the John Birch Society in the 50s. But the Farm Bureau in Kern County, CA says:

The Kern County Farm Bureau stands with and supports our local farmworker community,” Holtermann said. She added that she agreed “criminals do not belong in our community.” But, she said, “those two groups—farmworkers and criminals—are not synonymous. Period.[/quote]

They should have chosen to exploit American citizens with those low wages and lack of worker protection. Then they wouldn’t be in this mess. [/quote]
