I have read the article "The Price of Tomatoes." It was really sad how the immigrants were being treated. Immigrants working in America is illegal, but who else who do all the dirty work if they weren't here? They leave everything behind and come to America hoping to find a new life. They do anything to earn money so they can support themselves and their families. Many of my friends have relatives that come to Hawaii from different countries as immigrants, work illegally, but do not get treated like slaves. It is very sad and heartbreaking. In both cases its wrong. Illegal immigrants working illegally is wrong and whoever is giving them jobs is wrong. An average American would never pick tomatoes for a living and live in conditions like this. For sure I would not want to live like that. With the help of immigrants things are getting done. Immigrants come to American probably because they envy all the freedom we have, they need money and have a better life. But when they get to American it is a different story, they get treated like ****. The lazy Americans who want to make money by selling tomatoes your slaves pick, why do you put yourself in there situation and try live by your rules you give them. Stop being "neat" ; don't care about the process only the results. They care about getting money, and dont care about all the hard work people need to do. I am not for or against any of this because its wrong. This is all i have to say, because if i go on it is not going to make sense. If it this does not make any sense you guys who are reading this, sorry ;

I can relate to what you are saying. I can think of a few people I know that came here illegally as well. It must be hard for someone to leave everything they know to an unfamiliar place. I totally agree with you about this article we read.
