Lettuce and labor
Re “U.S. working to let in more immigrants,” Oct. 7
So the departments of Homeland Security, State and Labor are urgently trying to find a way to bring more guest workers into the country to rescue farm owners. What about the 12 million illegal immigrants already here? They supposedly do the jobs that no one else wants. Is keeping the price of lettuce low worth subsidizing our unwelcome guests? Import the produce, not the workers.
