legal diversity is a great thing. a criminal underworld of diversity should be destroyed.
also, to the "no American would do that" idea, if there really was a shortage we could easily up the numbers for LEGAL immigration. let's see what's left after we remove all the criminals, we might have plenty of citizens willing to do the work already.

Well im sure you are an expert on all things agricultural since you grow some tomatos, and mnybe some other leafy vegetables, but lets here what the people who own the farms say:
During the peak of the season, farms in Yuma County need 30,000 temporary workers a day, he said. The entire county's population is about 160,000, according to the 2000 census.
Last fall, even though there were willing workers just across the border in Mexico, the Pasquinelli farm and others like it in Arizona and California faced manpower shortages. The situation continues, caused by an insufficient number of visas being available for temporary workers and recent immigration enforcement efforts, Deacon Muthart said.
"Once upon a time the workforce was able to move freely back and forth," he said. "Then it got tighter."
Though most of the area's farm laborers live close enough to go home to Mexico at the end of the workday, they still need permits to legally work in the United States.
Employers nationwide estimate that about 500,000 immigrant workers are needed for low-skilled and unskilled jobs such as those in agriculture. The federal government issues just 5,000 visas a year for unskilled workers.
