The U.S. Agricultural Crisis and Illegal Immigration
[ send me this paper ]
The current crisis in United States politics concerning agriculture and the illegal alien question is just that, a crisis. To some, the crisis foreshadows the demise of the U.S. through the third-worlding of its workforce. To others, the opposite appears to be true. Without an immigration workforce, they say, the world’s largest agricultural community shuts down because Americans won’t work agricultural jobs. There are still others, once illegal immigrants themselves, who say the borders should be closed because there are already too many migrant workers for the available agricultural positions. Still others believe migrants are responsible for their unemployment (Huspek, 2001, 51). The final contingent states that the immigration laws are not being enforced and that America’s open borders are the major problem in terms of infrastructure. All arguments may carry some validity, but the final argument creates the crisis. jvIlAlie.rtf
