The Agrbusiness has devised Olive pickers, Tomatoe Pickers, Carrot Pickers, I believe they will have very little problems devising anytype of "Picker". If it's an American holding a job then the job can be exported, if it's an illegal alien holding the job, then it must be saved because we Americans who's jobs have been exported do not want to pay $4 for a head of lettuce, picked by an American "Picker" that has a doctorates degree!!

What a load of Socialist Crap!! Seal the borders, get our high school kids off the streets and into the fields so they know what it means to have a job and to work for their money to raise a family.

You go, lemoncharlie. If you were the Lord of the World you could make it happen. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) you aren't. That leaves it to the political process which is operating just as this article describes. It is easy to shout and command but actually accomplishing something is much harder.

You have struck the proverbial nail on its shiny head.
Relax the ridiculous "child labor" statutes and let our
youth learn (on the job) some very basic lessons of life's realities. Preferably in the early/mid teens. It would do wonders.
Of course, a lot of parents of means would keep shelling out allowances that would make the average illegal content, but a lot of eager, ambitious kids would learn how the floor is swept, the lawn is mowed, the manure is spread, the strawberry is picked, the egg is laid, and hence, the bread is buttered, the bacon is brought home. The real world experience would be invaluable in their quest for a career path.
Kind of like it was the 60's and earlier.
Pull weeds, pick berries, buck bales (that's gone to round bales), mow lawns...instead of getting bored and committing crimes.

Sing for your supper.

I do hope SOME of you know what I mean.
