    Not helpful to all of the US but certainly an incredible boon to big corporations who pay them next to nothing through layers of contractors and don't have to insure them or treat them like human beings. Large buses pass back and forth over the borders with a nod and a wink on their way to the picking fields of my state, California and when a worker is injured they are shipped straight back home. Many die from their injuries in hazardous jobs in packing plants and from pesticides. Their lives are cheap and short and yet the huge comapanies that use them like toilet paper are never held to account for it and continue to line the pockets of sympathetic politicians like our dear George Bush. Big business likes the status quo and that's why this area never sees real reform. Some interesting fences will be built but they won't stop the flow of buses. Only consumers can by voting with their dollars. The supermarket is a voting booth. Use your power there if you don't like illegal labor in the US. Thes people deserve to be treated like people. Give them work visas and basic rights. Time for the US to stop whining about it and point the finger at the real culprits. Big business. Especially big agri-business.
