Before the illegals it was the less educated people who held those jobs. Now a days America is becoming more and more educated, who in the right mind would pick crops when they have a BS in Computer Science?!
crop picking is one area [and probably the only area] where i do believe employers may have trouble finding legal citizens to do the job. but the answer is not illegal aliens. we need to start creating more temporary work visas for THIS PROFESSION ONLY.
