Without a doubt ag work is part time in nature. It is also difficult work.

For those very reasons. Ag work should be a high paying job.

No matter your product. It is important that you have skilled employees that will complete their task in a manner that produces a good product. This requires a experienced steady workforce.

In the 60's I started working ag jobs on the weekends just before schools end. I worked through the summer and sawdusted grape boxes during Christmas vacation. I always earned over 4000 dollars a year.

I was making 700 dollars/week. This was at a time when the minimum wage was $1.10/ hour. $45/week. Less than $2300/year. Part time ag jobs paid enough to live comfortably for the entire year. I never had a after school job while in high school or college.

Ag job wages are low today. Because the criminal element has entered both sides of the employment sector. Both the criminal labor contractor and the illegal immigrant have joined forces to drive down wages.

This criminal element will do all they can to ensure wages are kept low so that they can prosper.

No matter the law. This criminality will always produce illegal papers. More illegal immigration, more people living in the shadows.

No bill. No piece of paper No supposed scholars boisterous words will change that.

This criminality has extended into all labor workplaces. This has to stop. Those employers that hire the illegals. Are either greedy or incompetent.

No part of capitalism endorses criminality. No part of democracy bows to the crime bosses.
