No one is going to go through the decade-long legal immigration process to work on a farm for federal minimum wage with no health insurance.

“No one is going to go through the decade-long legal immigration process to work on a farm for federal minimum wage with no health insurance.”
No one but the desperate. Its almost like allowing slave labor…

It’d be higher pay than what they’re already getting.
But I have no problem with those workers no matter what their jobs are (I think it’d be a lil racist if I were to say that the only jobs these people are good for is picking crops). My issue is with the violent ones. I’d like to see a pathway to citizenship for otherwise law abiding illegals and deportations for the rest.

From what I gather, illegal immigrants are statistically no more likely to be violent than any other people, possibly even less so out of the fear of being caught and deported. Comments like these help reinforce the point about fear mongering over illegal immigrants in the right wing media, no?

How?
