http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2013/04/05/immigration-bill-may-blow-up-over-ag-workers

and look who's leading the charge. GOP's immigrant poster boy.

Article PhotoThe Senate's "gang of eight" could roll out a long awaited comprehensive immig
ration plan next week, but a key provision over what to do about the country's immigrant agricultural workers is stuck in limbo and could be absent from the bill.
And without a deal between agricultural unions and growers, a comprehensive immigration reform would be less comprehensive than many expect, experts say.
think about this immigrant workers have been who puts your peaches in your corn flakes.  if they are noy picked they whither on the vine as Ga. found out when they tried to run the workers out of that state.
everyone suffers when they screw with the workers rom the farmer to the pickers to truckers to the retailer to you, my question what the fuss?
The current program that administers agricultural visas is steeped in bureaucracy, growers say. Many times the paperwork is exhaustive, complicated and the process takes so long that many farmers complain they don't get workers in time.
The broken system has led many to take on workers who have entered the country illegally.
"You end up hiring someone who comes to you with a document that looks legal," one grower says.
looks legal, are they saying that they don't know what legal papers really look like so they hire undocumented workers smiling all the way to the bank. how isit they spend so much on paperwork which the republicans complain that they are expected to read,  at $174,000. a year hell yeah we expect them to read it and everything else bureaucratic BS  it's breaking the law that their prejudices have put in place, are the sorry now?
