Time and time again it boils down to the fact that WE HAVE ALL THE NECESSARY WORKERS ALREADY HERE either in the form of unemployed or in seasonal labor such as students (I can't think of a more fitting summer job for a highschool student than picking fruit). If we desparately need more unskilled labor (which we don't) then let the companies send visas to who they want, just no more of this "drive your truck down to the 7/11 and pick up some labor" bullshit. It's a matter of adapting, the farms are used to getting off easy with illegal labor, that's changing and they're bitching about it rather than switching to other methods.
We finally get a town that is willing to enforce the laws already in place for this kind of thing and the ACLU want to stop them, why am I not supprised.
