Will 2008 Be The Year Corn Is King

Farmers are worrying where their going to find labors to plant, care for and harvest their crops this coming year. Without a guest worker program allowing Hispanics in the country they are unlikely to find workers willing to do the back breaking labor involved in agriculture. It has been suggested they pay higher wages, labor is only worth so much until it becomes too expensive. When it reaches its peak producers go to alternative measures that usually result in consumer product outsourcing. Those same Hispanics we won´t allow to work in our fields will be harvesting our food supplies from their fields in South and Central America. Americans will have little or no control over quality or quantity. Not only will Americans be paying higher prices they will be dealing with the possibility of contaminated foods. There have been several cases of this lately.
This country can no longer support an excessive progressive agenda and survive. Things are rapidly getting out of control. The government won´t insist on the same safety standards are practiced by the countries importing to America as they insist American produces maintain. There´s been more than one incident of imported contaminated food products being distributed through out American markets only to be discovered in hospital emergency rooms. The American farmer is more concerned with quality, they have one market America. Those nations who export their foods have the world as a potential market place volume is their concern not quality or health issues.
This nation seems to be obsessed with Hispanics crossing the Mexican / American boarder and are totally unaware of the other ways illegal enter into this country is possible. A person without papers lands at JFK in New York from any country in Europe or the Middle East. They´re taken to Immigration authorities and issued a ticket that requires them to appear for deportation sometime in the future then they are sent on their way out onto the streets of America to be absorbed into our culture. Thousands of Oil Tankers and Container Ships come into our ports each year. How difficult would it be to slip a few hundred terrorists ashore along with their cargo? Homeland Security is a joke. It´s going after the wrong people for the wrong reasons Homeland Security seems to be concentrating more on American Citizens and Histaminic farm workers than on terrorists. Perhaps its time to bring our troops home and place them on our boarders and our ports of entry, That may be the best way to protect Americas interests.
