Yeah, like the Pelosi's. The contractors who provide workers for their vineyards need cheap workers. That had been going on for a century in CA.......farm laborers. That was not the root of the problem. It started in the 1980s. There was a housing construction boom in CA fueled by Prop 13. There was a labor shortage and they started offering jobs to illegals whom they could get real cheap. When the boom ended in the late 80s, illegals started hanging out in front of home depots and paint stores. When word got back to Mexico that you could make a month's salary in a day in the US, the migration started in earnest. Eventually employers in other parts of the country got wind of the cheap labor and began to import illegals directly to factories in the Midwest, the South and even the East. In the early 90s it was estimated there were a million illegals in the US.....now its somewhere between 10-12 million. Rich, white Anglos opened up the floodgates. And now they want them closed. We'll see how that goes.
