SROs are well worth the cost

I have never heard farmers say they need illegal workers to fill agricultural jobs, but they frequently do utilize a number of foreign-born workers to harvest and package the apples, and other fruits and vegetables grown in our area.

What farmers have asked for is that any immigration bill considered should include a guest worker provision that allows a legal process to continue to be able to utilize foreign born workers in their farming operations.

Most of these individuals are young men whose goal is to make enough money to send back home to support their families. They do not pose a threat to our national security and they typically do not pose any threat to the personal security of our local residents.
