Migrant Workers

While admittedly most of us would not want to work in the fields for such low pay, under the current circumstances I would agree that migrant workers are not taking any jobs from citizens.  However, it does have a direct affect on the standards of wages for the industry.  If these workers were not available, companies would have to step up and pay fair wages, abide by labor laws and provide healthcare benefits.  That being said, wages are depressed and that is not really serving the best interest of either parties, citizens or immigrants.  I really feel that there needs to be an amicable solution to retaining the immigrants who are here, working, and living productive lives, while at the same time deterring the less desirables (i.e.; drug dealers, smugglers).
