Injustices and inconsistencies abound. Farms in CA and elsewhere depend on cheap labor for harvests. Friends who are elementary school teachers in Gilroy, CA tell me that after the crops are picked in late Fall they lose many of their students. INS has swooped in and parents (cheap labor) have been deported back to Mexico or other places south of the border. Is the INS cleverly in cahoots with the agricultural industry? Are illegal aliens used as virtual slaves when the INS and farmers basically close their eyes during times of a need for intensive labor? People are used for monetary gain, then deported when the powers-that-be have squeezed the last ounce of sweat from them. Meanwhile, school children and families suffer the consequences of such manipulative and unjust practices which only focus on profit and not human decency. How sad!
