A little sesationalism I admit, but I do not believe they are and here is why, please tell me if you agree.
I thought I would take the opportunity to check out the point of view on immigration from the UFW, or the United Farm Worker's Union.
What I immediately found out, is that illegal farm workers are UNIONIZED along with other legals I suppose. In fact, they are so proud of the great strides they have made in wages, housing, benefits, health care and such that they are currently asking people to sign a petition that would make thier founder, Cesar Chavez, a national holiday.
What did this mean? This means there's no such thing as an illegal immigrant that gets $1 an hour or less to pick crops. They are unionized and represented as a force in business! Now, when you consider the benefits, especially housing provided by their employers, their pay has got to be over minimum wage if not more - how much does your trips to the doctor cost and you must contribute something?
