Get off your ass and go to a farm and ask the farmer who he hires. You will find that he hires Mexican's by choice. College students don't want to work 12-18 hours a day.

Get off your notion that farming and/or harvesting is a 1-2 hour a day hobby chore, its hard fucking work, and its illegal to hire 'children' ( under 18 ), and most young people do NOT want to work their asses off 12-18 hours a day.

Professional farmers want professional pickers, they don't want fruit damage, they don't want idiots and morons who don't give a damn touching their fruit. The Mexicans can make $250/day ( 50 boxes of fruit @ $5), they come up seasonally they work their asses off, and they send the money back home. It's good money.

U pay a college or high school student by the hour, and he picks maybe a box in 4 hours, and fruit dies, the Mexican is quick and efficient, also the farmer has maybe 1-2 days to harvest the fruit, the Mexican is a known-known, the farmer knows exactly how many mexicans he needs and how long it will take to get the job done.

With the white college/high-school kids, it would be a fucking joke, not a business.

I've picked grapes in France and peaches in New Zealand and I didn't see a single Mexican, yet their farming industries were thriving and the world continued to spin.

Perhaps the world wouldn't end if your yummy strawberries weren't picked by Mexican criminals?

Have you stopped, taken a deep breath and considered that you eat all kinds of fruit and veg that Mexican criminals haven't picked... yet those industries thrive and the sky didn't fall?

Or you could just have a fit? 'Your choice I guess.
