The plain fact is they cannot because they will not take these jobs. You can go anywhere in my district at harvest time and you will see signs saying "Pickers Wanted" everywhere. but few domestic will apply or attempt to get those jobs. It is because of these factors the growers of these specialty crops have had to turn to undocumented workers at the present time to do most of their harvesting. If the bill is passed. as it is currently written. we will be cut off from this supply of labor with no suitable alternative. We look very foolish in my district for even debating getting rid of the people who put the food on our table and not replacing them with anything.
