Editorial
Water to the Imperial Valley is Vital to their existence
Water to the farmers of the Imperial Valley is the lifeblood of their existence. Without it the crops will not grow. Without it, the life-giving element of their existence is gone. Water, to the hundreds of thousands of hardworking Mexicans who daily toil in the searing heat of the Imperial Valley to harvest the lettuce, carrots, melons, and other crops, is the difference between life and death for their families. Water is what transforms a virtual barren desert into a bountiful garden that sustains the lifeblood for millions of people in our country. Without it, America will no longer be the food basket that helps sustain life throughout the continent and in many barren countries throughout the world.
