There's plenty of laborers; they get migrant worker (temporary)permits (??) easily. Not this year. Apparently, someone at immigration decided these guys were easy targets and did a big roundup. You are correct that they have permits and were actually legal, but that didn't change anything. By the time the workers made it back across the border and into the fields, a big chunk of this year's harvest was lost. NPR was interviewing a California peach grower yesterday about the situation (I think it was on "All Things Considered"). His crop has a relatively short harvest season, and the roundup didn't hit him too badly, but he still had tons of fruit rot in the fields. George Patterson Give a person a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a person to use the Internet and he won't bother you for weeks. |
