The guy who said farmers just need to raise their wages shold work in the field for a few hours and then say what he thinks they need to pay in order to get spoiled American people to do that kind of work. Then, how long does he think the farmers can stay in business and compete with other states and countries.
The so called study he refered to from a year ago wasn't a study at all, if it is the same one I remember. It was a SWAG (some wild ass guess) dreamed up by a conservative think tank with out the bother of talking to anyone in the service institutions to which they refered. I can't under stand how people can think that an illegal alien is going to try to stand in line for services and take the chance of being discovered.
The amount of taxes they pay because of their forged documents far out weighs what they receive in return.
