The jobs you describe are mostly min wage jobs so nothing will change. Far as letting go of workers to hire other for less. I would think a company could not afford the law suits that would result from that

We'd suddenly be forced to pay farmworkers a living wage. A lot of large corporations would be very angry.\n\nIncidentally, I'm not surprised JD has a large pot leaf displayed on his 360 page. Paranoia, anyone?

This Administration is inviting them into our Country. The Employers where I live, tell them to come here, and they will give them jobs. There has been legislation all the time. This Administration is ignoring it to break down the American Working man. It's working isn't it. It's all strategy from the "RIGHT". They keep talking about their strategy all the time. Listen to RUSH LIMBAUGH, he is their leader.

Good luck!\nThere are "labor contractors" out here that get a piece of the action from providing laborers to farmers.  The farmer pays about 5 bucks a day and the labor contractor gets a piece of the action too!  \nSo if you think you going to walk up to a farm and ask for a job, you had better be related to the farmer.  They have a system in place that makes no one directly responsible for anything. In the meantime, lots of people skim off the top.

ILLEGAI IMMIGRATION I SUPPOSE ,CONSIDERING THAT MILLIONS AMONG THE WORKFORCE ARE ILLEGAL.IF THEY SUDDENLY STOPPED WORK THIS WOULD IMPACT NEGATIVELY ON THE US ECONOMY BEARING IN MIND THEY ARE DOING ALL THE MEANIAL JOBS.

Well their arguments are that it benifits us because only these people would work in jobs for which no one else works. Do you really believe that after they get amnesty, they will continue as farm workers. If we allow amnesty, believe me we will have to grant another amnesty 10 years from now. Instead I would me more comfortable if the farm workers are given some kind of visa that makes it mandatory fotr them to work in farms only. however if they loose that job or move to other jobs, they must move out.

Don't forget...Bush also wants amnesty and a guest worker program.\n\n\nWhich I hope does not happen..I do not support amnesty.

Brazil did this and it worked. If American farmers decide to go that way and automakers decide to go that way, all the lobbyists in the world cannot stop them.  We need a Bill Gates type of entrepreneur to promote this industry.

that sound like a very good program why not ask for a agriculture grant from the us government you shouldn't have many problems with your great idea . good luck with that

On the coast mainly, there are a lot of rich people who have live in employees. Inland (where I live) you might get someone who wants to return to thier home land for a short visit and will want someone to house sit and look after thier animals. Jobs are hard to get inland !! You can start by advertising your services in the local English newspapers - SUR in English - Euro weekly - Town Crier - Friday Ads. Good Luck!!

Unless they have an immigrant visa, the answer (right now) is no.

no they won't  b/c if they did then i don't think there would be poor people in this world b/c the jobs are endless when it comes to picking fruits and vegetable and working in hot ass sewing factories.  many americans wouldn't be caught dead working in places like that, they would rather get on welfare and live off of others.

Promises Promises\n\nNeither will do what they say they will.  The immigration issue is sort of moot, because Bush already signed the immigration bill a couple weeks ago.  I have not heard anything on their part in how they are going to treat immigrants on the local level though.\n\nChris Bell is the agriculture guy, so he would be against the horse slaughters.

Absolutely, they should stay. Our economy is extremely dependent on their labor. And as far as paying taxes go... every illegal immigrant pays taxes one way or another. Most pay federal and state taxes through their paycheck because they rent social security numbers from people not working. So not only do they pay taxes and social security, but they will never receive it. Also they pay sales tax on everything they buy. Also, if the US wasn't so discriminatory about our visa policy then it wouldn't be as big a problem. Do you honestly think an agriculture worker from Honduras can get a visa? Hardly.... we should be looking at that as well because we need the labor on farms, in the meat industry, garment industry, etc. Anyone who thinks we don't is blatantly basing their opinion on nothing. Perhaps we should start another huge worker program like we had up until 1960.....

No! Not unless they are issued a valid work visa.

A green card means you're a resident, so you can work here without getting kicked out.  I don't believe there are any restrictions to you working outside the country.
