In his post on the Oregon Treason Lobby’s effort to get driver’s licenses for illegal aliens, Paul Nachman mentions that the initiative is supported by "Local 503 of the Service Employees International Union [SEIU], the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, Oregon Nurseries Political Action Committee, and Northwest Health Foundation.". There’s also a much longer list of their supporters — 206 names long (four pages of PDF) — which includes 48 employers of illegal aliens, largely in the wine industry.
The way the YesOn88 campaign presents this is to say "Small business owners, farmers, religious leaders and law enforcement all agree that YES on 88 will help improve the safety of our communities." In fact, besides the list of "small business owners" and farmers, who are supporting it because they're employers of wetback labor, the list includes a lot of left-wing groups, minority organizations expressing anti-white solidarity, and so on.
But in the list of wineries, restaurants, and markets below (which I culled from the 206 name list) I assume that none of them are interested in "safe roads" — they're interested in cheap labor that you don’t have to get in your own truck to go and pick up. These are not "small businesses" — we're talking multi-millionaires: see Diamonds And Doom-Mongering: The Western Growers Association Wants More Illegal Mexicans.
Of course, they'd say they need illegals, or the grapes would "rot in the fields." In a post called "The Needs Of America’s Farmers" I suggested what illegals' employers actually need:
Any ICE agents in Oregon looking for someone to deport should investigate the businesses on this list: it’s grape harvesting season in Oregon!
