Good fake media story! I work for a vineyard in junction city to do the picking in fall. I am also white, american born, and dont speak spanish. The crew is mixed, between a few whites, a mexican foreman with his american born family, a few mexicans that speak english, and a whole lot that speak none.

The job pays quite well; between 15-25 dollers an hour. Of course, you are paid by the bucket and earn every cent! I wont tell you what vineyard I work for out of respect to the boss that would probably be flooded by American citizens looking for work. When I tell my friends about how much money I make they are quite interested.

The money I make is reported to the government and I am expected to pay taxes on it. Farm work has lots of regulatory exemptions but death and taxes is not one of them.

If every one of them was deported life would continue and prices would not go up that much. I would be quite sad though, as we worked side by side together.
