I agree, most state ( including Calif/Oregon ) have made it a criminal act to hire illegals for years, so the question begs to be asked, what is the point of this NY-TIMES article? Is it to say that TRUMP will stop the flow of food to the table?
Or that TRUMP will kill the seasonal visa holder system? ( I seriously doubt as farm-ag-lobby is most powerful in CALIF )
Can we almost say, that this entire TRUMP debate about illegals is 100% bullshit?
The truth is there are millions of MEXICANS in LA, but they're 2nd generation, and they don't work, cuz they know its a waste of time; But unless the USA change its laws these Mexicans are USA citizens by the fact they were BORN here.
Is TRUMP circus act really an attack on Mexicans? Yet they're some of the hardest workers, (First GEN)
Problem is 2nd GEN ( LA, PHOENIX, .... ) don't want to return to Mexico, they're not mexicans; Lastly, its clear that by majority by 2050 all of South Western USA will be hispanic by majority, so what is even the point?
