Thanks…and I know how that is…my wife has given several thousand dollars to her migrant employees over the last few years when they were in dire straits. Most paid her back. Our agriculture here in California depends greatly on migrant workers…many of whom cross the border illegally for summer work and then return to their home countries in the winter when they can get similar jobs further south.

The assumption amongst the anti-immigration community seems to be that all of the people coming across the border are here to do crime. That’s simply not true, yet the fear that criminals are coming is the main motivation for blocking access to the rest of the migrant community.

The migrant community, I’ve no doubt we need. And in previous LGF days, I got blasted but good for saying that.

It’s the criminal activity surrounding the entry of those folks that has me upset.

I am at a complete loss to understand how our government, with all the brain power of the US behind it, cannot come up with a plan to LEGALLY allow the migrant workers in to work, thus negating the need for any criminal enterprises to get them here.
