4. "Mexican immigrant workers are taking over the work done by the children" -

from my personal experience growing up in Wisconsin the migrant workers - and many are domiciled in Texas which makes them American - have been doing these jobs for decades and yes the kids are in the field. In your own personal family you may not have over-worked your own kids but we are talking about large farms here.

"any work was welcomed" Uh huh. You are in the socialist progressive group so please tread carefully. We advocate for the workers here - and are not going to entertain right wing arguments.
