| So Lou, you're saying that Americans want to work picking fruit and vegetables from sunup to sundown for little pay? That's strange, because a large part of the economy of the area where I live depends on migrant workers, because, guess what? Americans won't do it! These jobs are there for the taking every season, and most farmers would rather obey the law then hire illegals, but they can't hire enough legal workers to do the job! Simple supply and demand in a free market economy seems to have eluded you: If there was no demand for these workers, they would cease to be hired and therefore the economic incentive for them to be here would be removed, therefore they would stop coming. The fact that they return year after year proves their labor is in demand. Call me when you finish economics 101.
And YOU are the one who cracks me up. You claim that people who have realized that migrant workers are important to our economy are "One Worlders" as if living in peace with fellow man was some derogatory trait, and then claim that they have no solutions, when 6 posts above you there was a soultion suggested, if not in great detail: adequate provisions for seasonal workers. What many people do not realize is that such procedures existed at one time, until I believe the mid-1970s.
