Is this true?

Dunno........I have heard that immigration from Mexico has been declining this past year due to the drought burning up crops.

Where did you get this from?

Slim, Wells is blaming stricter immigration laws on the lack of field labor.

I wish my son lived in California.  He could use a job right now.  There's an interesting film called "A Day Without a Mexican" that demonstrates some of our misconceptions and biases when it comes to our dependence on our Hispanic labor force.  Not the highest quality film production-wise, but its message is poignantly clear.

I have plenty of Aliens that would like to work for me but last time I checked I would be breaking the law to hire them. The Aliens wanting to work for me demand $13.00 an hour. I prefer to hire local taxpayers that will work for $10.00 an hour.

You mean the Aliens are growing balls and actually asking for a decent wage? The next thing you know they'll join a union and want other benefits too. Oh...the horror of it all!!!!!!

The unemployed local taxpayers are happy to work for $10.00 an hour, lodging, my cooking, kolaches and all the beer after dark.  I have even had unemployed rock stars working for me.
