Yeah, that webpage is dodgy at best. Your basing your theories on some guys personal hompage. If you look at the front page, it talks about the 'persecution of christians in todays society' and makes various anti-gay remarks (refering to lesbians as 'capet munchers'). Not thinking thats the site you want to use to base any real statistics on.

As for my comments, most all of the farm workers in the state of California are illegal mexican migrant workers. Not a racist statement, a fact.

"They make up 53 percent of the approximately 1.8 million farmworkers in the country, up from about 12 percent in 1989-1990, according to the Labor Department's Agricultural Workers Survey.

"The fact is, the fresh produce industry couldn't exist without a foreign work force, but we don't have a mechanism to bring in foreign workers," said Tom Nassif, president of Western Growers Association, which represents more than 3,000 farmers in Arizona and California.

Nassif is asking federal lawmakers for a temporary program to allow workers into the country to pick winter vegetables and avert a labor shortage he says could cost the industry billions. And like other farm representatives, he wants a guest worker program that can provide the industry with a stable work force."

Or, we could go into how Wal-Mart got busted with how many illegals across the country? What happened with all that? Google it.

But more to the here and now, who do you think is rebuilding New Orleans? Recent reports show a majority of the labor there is ALL illegal.

But I think the Dept. Of Labor stats speak for themselves, along with articles from the local papers in the areas where these people live, and are employed.
