Good luck with the ex auto workers. That's all I'm going to say about that. We're in a large Christmas tree grownig area. Back when I was in high school,ALL the labor on the trees was done by high school kids. It wasn't more than a dozen years ago that one of the big growers here was complaining that there were too many hoops to jump through to get migrant labor. Now that's all you see. It's gonna be a problem getting workers if the politicians don't stop the BS and get a WORKABLE guest worker program. I don't know if you'll ever be able to go back to the days when white folks would do that work. With 15-20% unemployment here and everybody wringing their hands about it,I've yet to see a white person in the trees or orchards,unless he's standing there telling them what to do.
