At an Illinois service company, auditors found dubious documents for nearly 8 in 10 of its 200-plus employees.

Inspectors examining records at a Texas manufacturing firm found suspicious paperwork for more than half of the 107 employees

a California company last summer found that 262 employees — a whopping 93 percent of the total workforce

Good grief. Not a head of lettuce in sight.

“To think that the solution to this problem is to jail and fine honest hard working farmers who are following the rules is beyond naive, it is just wrong.”

Fifty years ago most of the illegals might have been working as migrants, but it is just a pimple on the real problem today.

Twenty million illegals aren't working on farms. They are in virtually every city of the country, doing jobs most people wouldn't believe. And the companies practice a kind of “don't ask don't tell” using beards to keep themselves safe.

We have a large company here that has nothing but illegal groundskeepers. Of course they have a “policy” that they will only do business with companies that “prove” their employees are legit. Of course, nothing is said about their “subcontractors.”

It's going on everywhere and in every occupation. And having relatives that are farmers, I would hate to see the farmer caught up in this. But the fact remains - until employers stop looking for illegals, illegals won't stop showing up.
