Film shows farmers' ties to migrant labor

The film "American Harvest" repeatedly comes to two conclusions: -- Mexican migrant workers want to work for a buck.

I understand that farmers rely on migrant labor. There would be plenty of migrant labor if they have to come here legally and that was the only work they could do. American businesses has mess this up for them by breaking laws and employing illegals. The problem is government and businesses. It is going to be difficult to straighten this out, but we can. It is going to take time. The politicians and big business are tied together so tight, it is going to take time to pry them apart, it is something we must do.

Migrant labor used to mean groups of laborers who migrated, usually from South to North with the growing season, to do work on a temporary basis.
Now, the illegals are employed by orchardists and others on a long term basis and they do not migrate in used school busses from place to place.
They rely on services from the nearby communities and get healthcare from hospital ERs and outfits like Keystone.

For an unbiased documentary about what's really going on at the Southern border...see Chris Burgard's award-winnning documentary...."Border "....and remember that American Harvest is a propaganda piece to benefit the profiteers of illegal immigration and the Mexican government. Don't be fooled by this. Illegal immigration hurts everyone including all legal immigrants.

If Migrants would pick their tomatoes and then go home there would be no problem. Everybody knows that doesn't happen.

That is the BIG LIE. If workers would only come here, pick the tomatoes and then go home, there would be no problem. This does not happen. The reality is that under the guise of lazy Americans who will not work, the third world hordes invade.

Not even illegals should work for the tyrant slave master---besides, illegals shouldn't be in this country period.

Oh goody a nother leftist buzz word. Tyrant Slavemaster! How quaint and Marxian. Workers of the world unite!

The American business person that has to rely on illegal aliens to make money is a traitor. I use the term tyrant slave master with a far right emphasize.
