Dear Editor,

I have listened to everyone fuss over the immigration laws.

The farmers cry they have no one to pick their crops. We tax payers don’t want to pay for illegal aliens because we pay for them being here with free Medicaid and such. We complain that we have no jobs.

I believe all the people who can’t find work should go pick crops for the farmers and the penalty for not doing it, is lose their check. Back in the old days, way before video games teenagers used to pick crops, as their summer jobs.

What makes this any different, other than everyone is just plain lazy? I know we live in the land of the free but are we really free?

Although I’m not Mexican if I had to do it, I would proudly show my identification. I know I did it honestly.

Ginger Rylant, Ashville
