    The majority of migrant workers want to come here to improve their families lives back in their home country. Most of them are hard working honest people.

    Leaving their families is a hardship for them. And most of them want to return home to their grandparents and the rest of their families. They are not the problem.

    The problem migrant workers are the ones that do not want to return home to grandma. Why do I make this claim?

    Simple, look at the crime stats for the towns where the migrant workers live year around. The higher the number of migrant workers that live year long, the higher the crime rate. Towns in the NW with the highest crime rates often have many full time migrants, despite having part time work.

    The good migrant workers go back home to their families.

    Fair question.

    Do the research on the crime stats for various towns. Some data sources will give you the crime rate ranking within their states.

    The longer answer is. I spent about three years researching where I would live after I retired. There are many wonderful areas in the PNW. And I researched many of them over the three years.

    I always checked the crime rates in every location. That is when I discovered the higher the % of full time migrant workers, the higher the crime rate. To be fair, there are also towns without full time migrant workers with high crime rates, most often drug related crimes.

    I buy Kerrygold butter from Ireland at Winco and the price difference is negligible.

    Bought it at Trader Joe's the first time and it was expensive. Even then it wasn't "exponentially" higher.

    As for this bill if the workers become citizens they are going to want better pay or different jobs eventually.

    Canada's labor force is nearly 25% made up with immigrants.

    They've been saying similar things about the U.S. Army for decades but they still need people to do the dirty work.

    I have to admire the people who say things just to be an irritant, and also those who can phrase their comments in such a manner that it looks like they're saying one thing but really mean another.

    Writing or speaking in a way that gives you plausible deniability is a great skill to have.

    Some of what you say describes sarcasm.

    Than why do people go undocumented just to take jobs as migrant farm workers if they can do it legally?
