That is the problem. They offer a decent wage but they find that very few people nowadays are willing to accept the hard work involved in harvesting such things as squash. berries. or grapes. The few who do accept jobs often turn out to be undocumented workers from Mexico. but they are rounded up by the Immigration and Naturalization Service and sent home. Mr. President. I cannot blame the Immigration and Naturalization Service for doing their legal duty. but I do question who benefits when the border patrol is forced to remove laborers from the field. The farmer who is forced to plow under his crop? The laborer who cannot meet his familys basic needs?
