There's a bipartisan immigration bill before Congress that could drastically improve the lives of these men and women who pick our country's food. It's called AgJOBS--The Agricultural Job Opportunities, Benefits and Security Act (S. 1038, Feinstein).

How about paying a living wage in the first place? What's next, socialize the construction industry and create government subsidies for that? That's pretty hard work too. This is total nonsense that will never end because the original problem is not addressed.
