Recently several people were sent to work at orchards at minimum wage. This is good so others can understand what these Mexican immigrants go through working jobs that American citizens don't want. I was told when this was done the people walked off the job and walked toward the road until they could get a ride back to the Tri-Cities. This is a percent of people on assistance from the government.

People complain no jobs that these immigrants take all jobs. Well now you have the answer. They complained to have immigrants deported. But many farmers know it's immigrants that do jobs others don't want. This is why I can't understand they can't find a solution for these families that are working and not on assistance. You don't want them here. I speak for many Mexican immigrants that ask me for help. People are being deported out in orchards why people that are working crack down on those at home waiting and living off government assistance.

How are these ranchers and farmers supposed to get their crops picked so many jobs out in our fields going to waste. Women are being deported and leaving children behind. This is so sad, our government needs to come up with a solution. You want to send these immigrants back into a line of fire where for these recent years thousands in Mexico have been killed. These immigrants being killed by our government's guns who be charged for all these deaths? Easy to push blame and pass the buck.
