What do you guys think about this line of analysis?
Sounds great but here is another idea. Yes i agree there are very few people who want to pick our fruits at $2.50 an hour with high risk of death.

I am open to seasonal worker visa's.

Let people from our bordeing countries apply for a visa to work, apply for a job at one of these ranches. Then when they are accpeted they can leagally cross the border. Work at thier job for minimum wage, pay legal taxes, have the employer provide some sort of medical, so long as its paid for by him and not the tax players.

When thier visa is over (3-4 months) they go back to thier country untill next year.

Win-Win in my opinion.
