Republicrats


Looking for votes…but not among the farmers.

Some Democrats Send a More Conservative Immigration Message By RACHEL L. SWARNSSeveral candidates are publicly breaking with the party leadership's demand for the creation of a guest worker program.

Interesting. The other day I noted that the olives were being picked in the grove nearest our house. Last year, these trees were some of the last to be picked because no labor was available earlier in the year.

And I saw some odd behavior among the pickers; the grove borders state highway 32 and the pickers were on that first row of trees, visible to all who pass by. Most were picking with their heads swiveling back and forth between the task at hand and the highway; watching all of the passing traffic and obviously nervous. I passed by three times during that day and it was always the same.
