    Okay it's official. It's been declared a whinefest.

    What is hurting the economy more?

    Fuel, or a cheap source of labor to pick crops?

    Seems ridiculus to me, a subsidized industry, who gets tax free fuel. should start complaining about not having enough "illegals" to pick their crops.

    Who are they going to blame when the trucks won't haul the crops?

    Figures it's Colorado.

    What the guy should say is, "We have been able to get by using illegal immigrants to do our grunt work. Now we are upset that we might actually have to pay a decent wage to get our crops picked. We have been making money hand over fist using illegals, now we have to compete on a level playing field and we don't like it."
