well technically not true as most farmers will wind up paying u a daily cash sum. every farmer i ever worked for gave me an option of paying me by the day or the week and we normally negiotatied payment in terms of daily not hourly, unless of course your a really large commercial farm then they tend to have books and everything

automatically harvesting fruit and vegetables that don't grow in consistent patterns is pretty friggin tough. there are machines to harvest certain types of crops, like corn and grain. but those grow in predictable patterns, and aren't as delicate as tomatoes or apples. inventing something to harvest tomatoes, or fruit off a tree is going to take waaaaaaay longer than five years.

if they could be doing more to detect forged documents, then they shouldn't really be complaining, now. whatever they're doing now is obviously not adequate.

maybe they can't fire someone under a suspicion alone. but once they have a suspicion of something illegal (in this case, isn't forging federal documents a felony?), they should be obligated to prove or disprove it.

America doesnt need imported labor, it needs lazy basterds to get off there asses /rant
i loled @ shitty card board signs :lmao:

well yea its illegal to forge but remember these people are alraedy illegals, the minute they think they might be in trouble they dissapear. not to mention there really arent a lot of people around that want to work in cherry and pear orchards sooooo they do tend to look away. and they only get between 4-7 illegals ayear so they dont worry to much about it
