[quote=deadzone]Why do we care about supporting strawberry famers or other agri business in California anyway? All they do is hire foreigners to work for them. The owners profit and taxpayers foot the bill to subsidize their illegal workers.
How about a crazy idea.. why don’t we just import the strawberries from mexico? that way the Mexican workers can get jobs in their own country. Sounds like a win/win[/quote]We already do that, deadzone. As well as grow strawberries in CA. There was a food poisoning scare from MX strawberries grown around Mexicali, I think, over 10 years ago but that only resulted in a MX strawberry boycott by the US for the rest of that season and maybe one more year, IIRC.
