We are the Gladiola capital of the U.S. Our main grower, Great Lakes Glads employs many migrant workers from Mexico. Because of the hot dry weather the glad crop is a couple of weeks ahead of schedule. the farmer sent all his paper work to homeland security to get work visas for his laborers.
When the got to the border, no paper work. Phone calls, phone calls, phone calls. Finally they find the paper work, and let one person in. The paper work was to be for 150 migrants.
Far as I know the other 149 are still sitting there on the border. Appears its harder to get in going through the correct channels than hopping the fence.

Why do you need laborers? Just let the things grow, look at them, say "Ain't they pretty?" and consider it took no effort to enjoy them. I had pretty glads growing in the yard once and never saw a Mexican (and never did anything to them-until they died and I mowed over them). I'm missing something here.
