I want a President who is NOT a squish on immigration. If this is true, the good doctor is out:

Listening to the interview the good doctor seems to have bought into the myth of jobs americans can't / won't do. He also seems to have bought into the myth of '$50 per head of lettuce'.

There is already an H-2A visa for those who do farm type work. The number is unlimited. It does require paper work so we know who is coming in and it does require minimal working standards-how inconvenient.
[quote]"H-2A: Temporary Agricultural Workers
The H-2A visa is for persons who come to the U.S. to perform agricultural labor or services on a temporary or a seasonal basis.

The H-2A is a program with strict requirements to ensure laborers are treated humanely. It sets the wages that must be paid and it also requires that free and approved housing be provided. It even specifies the size of the windows and the density of the screens. Transportation is also reimbursed. Farms and ranches usually prefer illegal alien laborers for these jobs so that they don’t have to hassle with requirements that cost them money. H-2A has an unlimited yearly cap so it’s as close to the ideal of limitless cheap labor as an employer can get. The low rate of participation in the H-2A program (see table, page 102) suggests that the so-called shortage of farm laborers has more to do with cutting costs than a lack of foreign workers. "]
