If it were any other type of business or land in question. there could not be any entry on to the property. But because the INS believes that they have the right under the open field doctrine. they have the right to come on to the farmers and ranchers land as they please. it seems to me that we do have a need to act. INS agents have used some of the most heavyhanded tactics in pursuit of what they believed to be undocumented workers. Neighbor farmers fields have been entered by INS agents. again without a warrant. not where they were suspected to be but on the neighbors land. in order to seal off the land of the farmer in question. Entrances have been barred. fences and gates have been cut. workers. sometimes legal and sometimes illegal. have been handcuffed together and chained to trees.
