Sixteen percent of Hondurans work in industry, thirty percent in services, and forty percent in agriculture.

As a fiber source hemp is undergoing a rapid growth as a natural fiber. The combined retail value of hemp products sold in the United States in 2010 was $420 million.

Once the migrants got through the entry barriers, the migrants found that their new life was almost as difficult as the one they had left behind. A lot of farms in California were owned by large companies and corporations. They were bigger than the farms in the plains, and the crops were like nothing that the migrants had ever seen before.

The President requested that 200 million trees be planted from Texas to Canada.
