prohibition against what?
unless my history classes were wrong, the only Prohibition I know of (with a capitol p, the one against alcohol) was repealed in 1933.
But of course I could be missing the sarcasm.
Dragging this back onto the original topic, or at least trying to.
There are a lot of seasonal laborers in CA (the only state I'm familiar with in regards to immigration/employment)
A lot of them are illegal immigrants.
They are here for mainly 2 reasons:
1) the jobs here pay better than the jobs back home
2) there are not enough people in the native workforce willing to accomplish these jobs.
Now there are laws and systems in place to allow legal immigration for this purpose, but a significant portion of seasonal laborers don't bother with it. Mainly because it's a lot of paperwork/hassle, and because employers don't demand that they are all above the board.
now I will freely admit to ignorance of Alabama law, and if the illegal immigrants are filling seasonal labor positions.
But maybe (if they are seasonal laborers) this problem could be attacked from the other end.
AKA make it easier to get legal immigration for employment, rather than being so focused on cracking down on the ones who are here illegally.
