Farmers say they have tried :sperately to find workers to place the alien workers, but [y no one will work for such low ges. They say the lost crops uld lead to higher prices for oduce. Border Patrol officers, some imaging crops by driving their through fields, raided a Irm north of this central Okla- nima comm unity Thursday, the owners of the farm said. I At least 20 illegal aliens, some Jh whom apparently had been "'ili'ing in the area for several years, were rounded up and 'shipped out for processing for deportation, officials said. 1 Hugh Rushton, chief agent [for the Border Patrol in Marfa, said the raids were part of a push |to open up jobs for Americans, |but the farmers said they could ■nd no one to take the aliens’ places. ■ Charles and Royce Smith, co- lowners of a farm, estimated they [will lose up to $12,000 in cante- loupes because the crop will rot in the fields before they can get it picked. I Clint Hames, in charge of harvesting for the Smith >st brothers, said no one wants the jobs, which pay about $20 a day or up to $3.50 an hour in some instances. “There’s absolutely no people within a 30-mile radius who will do this kind of work,” he said. He estimated losses could be $5,000 higher than the Smiths estimated and suggested that widespread roundups of illegal aliens could lead to higher groc ery store prices. Royce Smith said more of the crop was damaged when the Border Patrol officers arrived in their cars. Among the aliens arrested were a Mexican couple who lived with their children in a house near the farm. Charles Smith said patrol agents told the couple they could leave behind their two children, a girl about 3 and a boy about 5, because they were born in the United States and were American citizens. “They (agents) offered to leave the kids,” Smith said, “but the parents chose to keep the family together.” !
