This exception must be eliminated immediatelywhich is exactly what this amendment does. Farmers and ranchers should be afforded the same protection that every other businessman enjoys under the fourth amendment of our Constitution which guarantees protection from unreasonable searches and seizures. Although less than 15 percent of all employed illegal aliens are currently working in agriculture. an astounding 50 percent of undocumented workers picked up by INS agents in the interior of the country are captured while working in agriculture. The lack of a search warrant requirement has produced this heavyhanded harassment on our farmers and ranchers. Warrantless searches in agriculture are both arbitrary and discriminatory.
