The US used to have a migrant worker program.
But some politician (I think in Texas) used it as a platform - of taking jobs away from Americans.
It was abolished. Crops rotted in the fields. Americans wouldn't do the jobs.
The farmers needed the Mexicans. The Mexicans migrated back to the US illegally - because now there was no Legal Migrant Worker Program.
I know a Migrant Worker Program has been brought up several times - but people who are not in the area of the border and can't see past the end of their nose keep voting it down.
We've lost a vast amount of crops to weather conditions - - - and now we will lose more because there are not workers.
When food becomes scarce and prices double - - - I wonder who will get the blame.
