Inmigration laws are preventing California farmers from being a "reliable work force ". The problem is that farmers need more workers to work in their crops. Americans do not want these jobs, and inmigration laws are keeping workers out, the opposite of the farmer needs. In California almost every farmworker is an inmigrant, and a great part of them are illegal ones; this helps to understand the willingness of republican farmers of changing the conception of inmigration laws in their party.
The issue has led to the Western Growers Association to announce many of his members will withhold economic sustain to the Republican party in next political campaings because of the party's denial of changing inmigration laws just to sustain farmworkers. Also, though most of the people that farmers hire are staying in the country illegaly, they accept any documents even if they are forge. They need people to make their business look ahead, no matter what it takes.
I've chosen this article because the way farmers need inmigrant work to keep their business alive really surprised me and encouraged me look for the reasons. It also seemed a little shocking for me when I read that republicans were concerned about inmigration laws not leaving workers come to California.
