"California Farm Labor Shortage 'Worst It's Been, Ever'"

[Stinky The Clown]

No one to pick some crops (even as the drought decimates crops in other areas). Jobs go begging, even some paying up to $18.00 an hour.

No doubt some will say that they ought to force "welfare recipients" off the rolls and make them work here . . . . . never realizing that an impoverished family in Detroit (let's say) can't afford the daily commute.

Not sure what to make of this. The source *is* CNBC and all, but still . . . . .

1. A gigantic uncontrolled political experiment is in progress

We are about to see the results of implementing GOP immigration policies on a massive scale.

2. So I checked Fresno craigslist, since it's mentioned in the HuffPost similar article....

I see no ad for farm workers for yesterday or today. Here's yesterday's.

Fruit packers and perhaps general laborers is as close as it gets.

So tell me where and who is hiring for these positions, I'm game, I'll even travel to there whereever there is, and I'll accept a reasonable wage, doesn't have to be $18, 9-10 would suffice for temporary position like this, imo.
