#2 bet you it was skipping the income taxes Nothing about this was mentioned in the source article. How does your statement connect to Alabama's situation?

#3  So the DOJ is harassing the state of Alabama to force more illegals on them, while Eric 'Place' Holder continues to protect all the Vampire Squids, who were key to forcing Alabama's Jefferson County into bankruptcy just a few weeks ago. Nice.

#4 Do this Google search for blowback from those opposing the law: tomatoes (sob) are rotting in Alabama fields because illegals won't pick them any more, etc. etc. SSDD.

#5 How does your statement connect to Alabama's situation?

It's an F3 macro comment (F5 is for articles on taxes, F9 for articles on drugs)

#6 Pay more to pick tomatoes. Farmers do not have a constitutional right to hire illegals at ultra cheap wages just so the produce can get to market.

#7  Farmers do not have a constitutional right.... I agree. All this agricultural aggravation is just being used by whatever forces are behind illegal immigration. Remember there was once a time in America where only the local population was available for work like picking tomatoes - illegals could not afford the necessary travel. The work either got done, or it didn't.

#8 Tomatoes are already imported from Mexico [check the stickers on your WallyMarts produce] thanks to NAFTA. What's the problem with producing them where the labor is rather than import the labor? Then you don't carry the subsidy that some domestic farmers get via various health and human services of the state by shifting the costs on to the taxpayers.

#9 The idea that there are jobs which Americans won't do was always a lie.

#10 "The idea that there are jobs which Americans won't do was always a lie."

True dat, Iblis. What they really mean is there are jobs lazy slobs the DemoncRat base don't wanna do because they require actual work, getting up early in the morning, and missing daytime TV.

Mike Rowe has documented those Americans doing Dirty Jobs for years.

#12 It's liberals who can't imagine themselves soiling their lily white skin with such menial labor and projecting their thinking onto everyone around them. Because of course nobody in their right mind could think differently. So they import unregistered voters poor disadvantaged humans from Mexico because it makes them feel better about their inordinate wealth when they share other people's potential wages with them.

#13 
Keep in mind that there is an existing temp worker visa program. It just means the workers must return home at the end of the growing/harvest season. Any shortages of farm workers mean that the farmers are not using the tools available to them.

#15 A 2 percent drop in just five months in the county highest in illegal labor shows that Arizona-style immigration laws work.

And Democrats ignore them, Watch as the spin in rhus ine foes Dizzy-fast
