THE REAL PROBLEM IS NOT AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER

It`s criminal enterprises here in and arount the US illegally employing illegal immigrants. It will not stop until they refocus 0 tolorance on knowingly and unknowingly having illegal immigrants on the payrol with RICO charges and full seizier and liquitation of corporate resources of companies caught.

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.

@Ynotisay There is NO SUCH THING AS "Jobs Americans won't work"

It's "For wages Americans won't work for" farming, warehousing, food processimg, you name it.

@Alabamarednek So what's your point? If the work isn't getting done, regardless of the reason, it's not getting done. But next time you drive by a field during harvesting make sure to count the white boys out there busting their asses. And if see any I can guarantee they're not working as the Mexican man next to them. Mexicans work. "Real" Americans whine.

@Ynotisay farmers just have to figire out how to fit FAMILY LIVING WAGES imto the equation. Not sweat shop plantation wages. It`s that simlple. And it IS AFFORDABLE.

@Alabamarednek Ah It's simple. OK. So lets say an employer decides to pay labor twice what they're making now. Alabama minimum wage is 7.25 an hour. Tied for lowest in the country. Where do you think that money will come from? Out of the farmers pockets so they can be nice guys? The government? Or does it come out of YOUR pocket? In the form of far higher prices for what you eat?
Maybe you're cool with that. Maybe you're one of the "real Americans" who don't whine about food prices. Or fight against minimum wage increases. Or sees brown migrant farm workers as valuable human beings who deserve a better life.
I don't know. Something tells me that's not you. I have a feeling those 'dirty brown people' are your enemy, huh? Because some people just need enemies to exist.
