This is what pisses me off living in the central valley of California. The idea that undocumented workers from Mexico are a necessary evil so farmers can make ends meet is complete bullshit. The farmer sending Almond exports overseas? The farmer flooding his field instead of utilizing drip irrigation then preaching about California's drought and how everyone but himself needs to conserve? Please tell us how we need to install another dam cause water. Surface water storage is completed outdated and so inefficient. Horrible taxpayer return to investment. The farmer that just drove by in his nice Ford King Ranch? "But no American will do the dirty work"... More like no farmer will pay a legal wage or concern themselves with employee safety. I regularly observe men who sit on a tiny tractor spewing clouds of pesticide and all he does to protect himself is throw a handkerchief over his face...

Undocumented workers are not educated enough to realize the harm they subject themselves and their families to. I've never had asthma until I moved to the Central Valley. The bowl of shitty air in this valley from the collection of chicken houses that turn their fans on (to prevent their own chickens from getting sick and dying), the methane from livestock, controlled burns of disregarded trees, equipment, etc., the crop dusting, the pollution of all the heavy farm equipment and trucks that transport within and from the valley all sits in this valley with little escape. The air only clears when it rains and we know how often that is in California...

It’s unreal to see his acts on film. How accurate do you feel your story is to actual events? Do you doubt any details shared by survivors?

TSP is a 4% match if you invest 5% right? First 3% is dollar for dollar. Next 2% is .50 on each dollar invested. Still alright. The pension is 1.5% per service year for 20 years and then only 1% for each year after. 127k sounds great but this will likely be in high COL areas.
