... what that means is you are basically going to send that crop, the melons and the tomatoes and the lettuce . . . to Mexico.

It may be worth the try. Then the pickers would follow the crops. Yes, it would cause some economic pain here, but I'd rather deals with solutions to that than accept the solutions proposed.

It is always the farm workers that get mentioned. But only about 20% of those here illegally are farm workers. A larger percentage works in the building trades. And an even larger percents works in the restaurant and hotel industries.
