Excellent point of fact, W! Thank you for posting this information. And that's probably based on there only being 11 million illegal aliens, and we know there are 20 million or more, which would make it actually 3% or less. Farmers need to man up and comply with the law and treat American Workers with the loyalty, pay and benefits they richly deserve. After all, farmers more than any other private business sector have been protected and subsidized to an enormous extent by American Workers and US Taxpayers for decades, so it's time farmers started following the Golden Rule of do unto others as they have already done unto you.

That means STOP WHINING and START PAYING wages and benefits with training and orientation programs that draw American Workers.
