OK Alabama. Your farmers, in an already incredibly under-performing state, are failing because they can't find workers to do the work that immigrants did. And that's not exclusive to Alabama. Where are the real 'muricans stepping in to take those jobs? That's what everyone was yelling about, right? "They're taking our jobs." OK. Then step up and take the freaking job.
And don't say around the nation because that means the law is the same everywhere. California legally hires undocumented workers and you should be thankful for it. Your food is far less expensive because of it. Those men and women bring something important to our table and they're treated like human beings. Maybe that's one of the reasons California economically succeeds and Alabama fails.
