I don't know if anyone remembers this -- but one of the major news networks did a story about a pear farmer in CA that complained that their pears were dying and not being picked b/c the borders were allegedly closed and not letting the migrant workers back in [ http://internetservices.readingeagle.com/blog/editorials/archives/2006/09/congress_must_p.html ] one of the articles about it

I read an article today that angered me b/c I think it shows the REAL reason that we are losing the migrant workers -- they want more $$! [ http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/17/business/17construct.html?ei=5090&en=1da5de5a86bb0e09&ex=1334462400&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss&pagewanted=print ]

What a bunch of greedy traitors those farmers are. I hope that they all get financially ruined.
