Want food from China or the USA?

From San Diego Union-Tribune:

A letter to the editor....

Either let workers in or outsource our food
Don't we get it? In our fervor to protect our borders, we are shooting ourselves in the foot – or kidney. The farmers in the United States need labor. Americans won't do stoop labor. If farmers don't have labor, they won't be able to produce food for us. Either we let workers in to do the work that serves us, or we outsource our food supply to countries such as China and lose complete control of quality. I hear that some hospitals are gearing up their dialysis units in expectation of a rising number of Americans who will suffer kidney damage from tainted food.

Just as our pets died from the tainted food from China, we will be hooked to dialysis machines and who knows what if we don't have quality control over our food supply. Quality can be controlled if the food is produced in this country. Only a small percentage of imported food is inspected. So let the workers in, America, or I'll see ya all in the dialysis unit, if there are enough machines.

Wrap...
