      White men speak with forked tongue.
      They used to come in season , with trailers, and then go back home, legally.

Wonder where all farms these ''illegal's are working at? Living in NW Ohio all my life, 50+ years ago, the migrant workers would work their way north, and yes, the shanty's they stayed in for a couple of weeks and pick the crops were on the farms by the hundreds. Move up to Michigan, pick crops up there, and head back south when they were done. MAYBE, I see a couple of shanty's the farmers might be using for a tool shed, but 99% are gone. Everything around here is all done by machine. Tomatoes, cabbage, apple's, and most of the farmers around here all went to corn,wheat or beans on a larger scale. Maybe California, Texas and a couple others might still use some migrant workers. This looks like a sound's good, do nothing law politicians are famous for.

N.E.Ohio is quite different, all kinds of foreigners. I.C.E. Should come here next and clean house. I am sure there are some decent hard working illegals, butt, they all have to go.

New Categories: Expands eligible job classifications to include aquaculture, equine care, logging, and agricultural processing.
Wage Stability & Cost ControlWage Caps: Codifies the Adverse Effect Wage Rate (AEWR) calculation and caps annual wage increases.Fee Reductions: Eliminates unrelated or overlapping federal fees, lowering the overall financial burden on agricultural producers.

..An old struggle..  The Democrats want illegals here for cheap (illegal) votes, certain wealthy Republican agriculturists want them here for cheap (illegal) labor.

  Neither are friends of honest Americans.

  There was a program developed inn the 1940s, called the Braceros program, where foreign laborers could come to the states, stay for the work season,
  then return back home. ..But some rooked individuals listed above worked and likely bribed, some politicians to destroy that program.

  As a kid I worked alongside  some of them, harvesting crops on local farms.... beans, strawberries, potatoes etc.  ...But now, with mostly mechanical harvesting, they have switched to year round work here.  Dairy farming, tree farming etc.

  Then of course, other year round industries began hiring illegals, and apparently did not want to be bothered by anything like a Braceros program.

  ..All are stealing from our entry level, American workers !
