Rotting Fruit and "Immigration Reform"

I have read a number of reports similar to this one. Fruit is rotting on the trees as there are not enough pickers and the USA is building walls and making it more difficult for law abiding, willing workers to enter the country. It makes no sense, other than it’s an election year and as with every election for the last 20 or so years the republicans are throwing “immigration reform” to their bigot base to “energize” them.

It really is sickening but that’s how, with a largely uniformed, disinterested electorate, the USA political system works.
