And of course, I voted for Barack Obama. I’m proud of my vote, and I think he will make a great President. That said, the decision was incredibly simple.

If illegal immigrants become legal Americans, will they continue to work in agriculture, where they’ve worked now for a relative lack of other options, or will they try to move on to other better paying careers? I’d try to move on, or at least start expecting more money (even if I didn’t get it).
