RSSAg worker bill revived after defeat of immigration reform

Though a comprehensive immigration bill has failed in Congress, supporters aren’t giving up on legislation that could legalize more than a million farmworkers in the United States. The legislation, known as AgJobs, was included in the sweeping reform bill that suffered a crushing defeat last month. Backers are searching for ways to breathe new life into the agricultural program they say is needed to deal with worker shortages that have left crops unpicked and rotting in fields.

If you want Americans at work in the fields it means you have to pay a LIVEABLE WAGE. Yes you have higher prouce prices. But you will not have an invasion taking place that you have now in the U. S.
You don’t need to pay a higher wage since many of the illegals are making $9-$15 an hour working in the feild. What you need to do is stop paying Americans not to work. Take away the Welfare and return to what Jeff has called “work or starve” and yopu’ll get Americans working in the feilds at the price the market will bear.
