But the fact of the matter is the needs are different and the workforce is somewhat different. Let me give you a large industry: Agriculture. There are about 1.600.000 workers in this country who work in agriculture. In my State. there are 566.000. I would hazard an informed guess that half of the 566.000 are here in undocumented status. I have had farmer after farmer. grower after grower tell me they cannot farm. they cannot grow without this workforce. I didnt believe it. so I got in touch with 58we have 58 counties58 welfare departments and asked them to post notices saying: Please. there are jobs in agriculture.
