Plenty of work in Georgia

Farms losing work to immigrant crackdown. This is a video of an Atlanta news report describing the unemployment rate and the host of jobs available in Georgia's farm sector. Excuses for not taking those jobs, "over educated" and "too hard" were the most common from unemployed Americans. I have to admit, I don't know if I could do the job that I did as a teenager or the same work that my grandparents did into their 60's. 


But then again, I do not support deporting all those people who will do the work. But I also do not believe that a unilateral amnesty will work, but instead simply put off solving the problem, and possibly make the situation worse. It has to be part of the solution, but we have to help the Mexican economy and empower Mexican society as well.
