"If E-Verify passes, it will kill the dairy industry in Wisconsin," Reinhart said. "I'm scared to death."

Deal with it. The cotton industry survived the end of slavery.

The farmer would have been right at home on one of those east Texas cotton plantations.

Are there not enough “LEGAL” immigrants to do the work? How many do we need in this country. How many illegals does it take to milk the cows? Is not the industry pretty much automated anyway?

Yup, the cotton industry survived the end of slavery. The former slaves survived the cotton picker.

I'm sure someone will figure out how to shovel poop and milk cows eventually!

Second that! And why should a business ower skip paying taxes, skirt environmental regulations or under-pay employeees? Because these actions are illegal.

There is only fraction of the nation’s population who are farmers. One hundred years ago nearly ninety percent of the population were farmers. Today it’s about two or three percent. It may sound harsh, but if some farmers can’t make it, there will be others to take their place. Who sheds tears for all the tiny mom and pop grocery stores that went out of business when the big chains moved in? If certain industries can’t make a living without breaking the law, they shouldn’t be in business. That goes for farmers or any other industry.
