The increased enforcement is responsible for the loss of harvest we've seen so far and we will see for the rest of the harvest times in 2006.

I think the political will is there for Congress to pass a comprehensive immigration reform measure. I would've liked to see something done last week, but at the same time, if it takes a bit more time to do this right, then so be it.

We can't pass the costs along. We can't control the market. We don't really have any place to go if wages spiral out of control.

Our political leaders who are having trouble showing the courage to do immigration reform right need to catch up and realize their constituents already do understand. Sometimes, it just takes more courage to do the right thing.

This loss is difficult. But our team will bounce back, they have hearts the size of this gym.
