I watched a farmer from Alabama tonight complain that he was not going to be able to harvest his sweet potato crop without the aide of the illegal workers. American workers will not do the back breaking farm work. We need the farmers or farmers coop to be able to sign off on a needed amount of farm workers giving them legality for a certain amount of time based on the needs of those particular farms. He or a government worker stamps a legal paper given to the farm worker stating that he is a farm carded worker for this time frame. When it is time to expire, he revisits his supervisor and gets an extension to his farm card. Really, folks in Alabama, New Mexico, California need these workers to continue the farming operation. The illegals are here and we can send them back, allow others to cross legally or illegally, but we are going to need them. I am not talking amnesty….I am talking putting the illegals on some type roll, control them and as long as it is beneficial to America, we keep those who work….To borrow a line from Mrs. Gump, “Surely there is something that can be done.”  Our farmers are an important part of my daily life and I want to keep them healthy and productive….Don’t you. We need to listen to them and get them the help they need…..Legally…Let’s start thinking about what will work…..Pete
