Imagine a law in the U.S. that says 10% of migrant 
farm workers must be U.S. Citizens...

As a kid, I spent 7 summers de-tasseling corn and roguing.  It was great, not only 7 days per week, but sometimes 12 hours per day.  Hence, we had no time to spend our earnings.  So at the end of the summer, we had a nice chunk of earnings.

In the early 70's, there were over 30,000 acres of strawberries in Oregon.   Then some brilliant law makers decided it was abusing children (ages 12-17)  to have them work in the strawberry fields.

There are currently about 2,000 acres of strawberries produced in Oregon. Way to go Legislators!
