Dude, you've never been in the fields if you think anyone else is going to do that shit work.

And where do you get off saying illegals still aren't working working in garment and other factories??? I worked in the clothing mfg. industry and my family was in it since the 1930's. Los Angeles alone has 140,000 immigrants slavinng in clothing factories.

I've been in factories and I guarantee you these companies could never operate without the immigrant work force. And if they did they'd either go out of business or the price of manufactured goods in this country would skyrocket.
I don't think you realize how off base your arguments are man.

You're saying that if we don't let these companies violate the law they'll go out of business so we should let them do it so they can stay in business?
BULLSHIT!!.

Do you feel sorry for the crack dealer who was just trying to feed his kids by selling on the street corner? How about the guy who knocks over the liquor store or the investment planner who defrauds his customers?

We don't allow anybody else to break the law in the name of making a living or staying in business so why should the textile industry or agriculture be any different?

The problem today is that not only has there been no enforcement of any of these laws in the last 6 years, now these companies are using their money, power, and influence to try and get the government to make these activities legal.
