Idaho’s agriculture industry has long reaped the rewards of immigrant labor. In the early 1900s, the U.S. government subsidized the development of Idaho’s agriculture industry by facilitating irrigation projects and railroad construction.
For the labor needed for these projects, growers and industrialists turned to immigrants. Japanese immigrants became the backbone of Idaho’s sugar beet industry, and labor recruiters actively sought Mexicans living in Mexico and other U.S. states for farm jobs.
Idaho agriculture continues to prosper from the work of immigrants, particularly those from Mexico. And Idaho’s meatpacking industry has also come to depend on the contributions of immigrant laborers, who put food on the table for Idaho, the United States, and the world.

A few people have asked about the blur in the nose. This is not a shallow DOF but, a mild camera shake as this shot was taken hand held at 1/6 second at 800 ISO. Was extremely low light but, am pretty proud of the clarity for such a slow shutter speed

Workers Struggle Beyond Borders:
Uniting the Peoples of Nuestra América
There is a global war on workers by the bosses and by finance capital (banks) -- by an economic system that puts profits ahead of any human need and enforces it through budget cuts on all social and public services, trhough police/migra terror, by drones, bombs, invasions, wars and occupations. Economic policies such as the Free Trade Agreements force migration of workers around the globe to sell their labor without any protections or basic human rights.
Workers however are organizing and resisting. We invite the public to come and listen to two of the most combative labor struggles in México with representatives of the electrical workers and miners who have been in a heated battle to defend their right to their union jobs.
Help us give a warm welcome to our guests:
Humberto Montes de Oca
Interior Secretary- Mexican Electrical Workers Union (SME)
Jacinto Martinez Serna
Secretary of Labor - National Miner’s Union- Section 65-Cananea Sonora
BCGEU President Darryl Walker, BC NDP Leader Adrian Dix, and BCGEU Component 20 Chairperson Byron Goerz

While all jobs are necessary, not all jobs are exciting. This worker ensures water is pumped out of the construction site. Even in the dry season, water flows into the bottom of trenches and must be removed.
