I dont mean that farming is not a good business. It is. and we wouldnt trade our way of life with the city dweller. but you cant farm by shifts. A very good way to have handled the wetback situation and the cheapest. would have been to have stations at the border. where the farmer could take his men and get work permits for a certain length of time and when the farmer no longer needed the man or men. take them back to the station and get a release. each workman would carry his work permit with him and Immigration could easily check any Mexican. if no work permit. be would be sent back across the border. All farmers would be listed. and how many men each had contracted. no association or anything else needed. It is too bad the wets infiltrated into the factories and industries.
