While our agricultural sector does use cheap labor, I specifically take issue with the word "needed". I may be nitpicking, but read a certain way it implies the "cheap" aspect of the labor is the essential part.

Certain industries employing quasy-slave labor to this day and getting away with it is one thing only: a stain on our society.

Long has been the fight for freedom from oppression and it is not over yet. Just like Martin Luther King was assassinated fighting for colored civil rights, Cesar Chavez was assassinated fighting for humane conditions for immigrant workers.

If immigrants are what's "needed" for America to function then they should be naturalized and granted fair wages just like anyone else.
