Millions of Americans are out of work. Many of them would take virtually any job they could get their hands on while others refuse to lower themselves to take certain menial and low paying jobs.
However in Kansas, the unemployment (as of Nov. 2011) was only 6.5%, among the lowest is the nation. Kansas farmers say they are hurting for workers to help work and harvest their crops.
So the state Agriculture Secretary, Dale Rodman says that he has a solution, but it needs federal approval. He is asking the federal immigration officials to give Kansas a waiver from the immigration laws to allow them to set up a network.
