re: CA is terrified of cutting off the flow of illegal immigration population for fear that CA's economy will fall into the dumper.

Not just California. I saw some statistics on the percentage of our crops that are picked by illegals. That and construction jobs... we are dependent on illegals.

It's one of the few areas where I agree with Bush... a guest worker program. If you are not going to enforce a law because it creates a public benefit, it's time to change the law.

I guess I agree.......actually, I don't. FLA illegals are usually farm workers. They live in cabins in the fields. In CA, illegals flood the cities and overload the infrastructure. CA pays a steep price for its cheap labor.

Arizona and the entire lettuce crop are being left to rot thanks to the overzealous 'terrorist' patrols that are stopping all workers from coming into the state. The entire agriculture biz is out to STOP THIS as they are being ruined
