“I wish to address our Mexican immigration problem. I am a retired avocado grower from Fallbrook. I have lived in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in the winter months for the last 20 years. I know well the Mexican people and their culture.
Some legal provision must be made for the Mexican worker. As it is now the worker must pay approximately $3,000 to come across the border illegally. Once he is here, he must find work to pay his debt and send money back to his family. If he gets sick or has an accident, he cannot go back to Mexico because of the coyote cost, so he must use our medical facilities. These workers do not want to live here; they only want to work and go home.”
