Short on Labor, Farmers in U.S. Shift to Mexico

CELAYA, Mexico — Steve Scaroni, a farmer from California, looked across a luxuriant field of lettuce here in central Mexico and liked what he saw: full-strength crews of Mexican farm workers with no immigration problems.

Farming since he was a teenager, Mr. Scaroni, 50, built a $50 million business growing lettuce and broccoli in the fields of California, relying on the hands of immigrant workers, most of them Mexican and many probably in the United States illegally.

But early last year he began shifting part of his operation to rented fields here. Now some 500 Mexicans tend his crops in Mexico, where they run no risk of deportation.

“I’m as American red-blood as it gets,â€

Well we are tired of your illegal work force coming here and going into other jobs that Americans do do, So since most of our Veggies in our grocery stores seems to come from across the border anyway I say you have a good Idea, go farm in Mexico and keep the migrant workers at home since you can't seem to keep them on your farms in the U.S. and please Move your whole family there!!!! Because I do not consider you an American!!
