Farmers oppose bill on verifying workers’ immigration status...what a surprise? On talk radio earlier this week I heard one suggest that the state government should subsidize the farmers for the lose of the "illegal" migratory workers. The farming industry is already one of the most subsidized (socialist!) businesses in our economy. I understand their position; but what I fail to understand is what is it about the word "illegal" that is not understood? Of course the progressives prefer the term "undocumented" because the term "illegal" is offensive to those here illegally. Yet undocumented workers do not pay state taxes and much of their wages leave the state (and the country) while they are able to take advantage of services for free that the rest of us pay for. If ALL states would enact laws similar to Alabama's new immigration bill the illegal alien issue would improve dramatically within a few years and the farm worker issue would likewise be resolved with legal workers (and hopefully without more subsidies!).
