As I remember it, one of the southern states passed legislation outlawing the hiring of illegal aliens in the state. As the date approached, the tension grew. After dark on the eve of enactment of the law, all the illegal laborers left the state under cover of darkness. The state probably heaved a sigh of relief... until they discovered there was no one to harvest the crops. One farm owner described hiring legal, white laborers to work in the fields. They did not show up on the second day. They didn't want to do that kind of work and I am sure they were offered higher wages than had been paid to the illegals. Sent January 28, 2017
