The changes to the Demographics section back in November (here) don't seem to be authoritative. I beleive that the edit, and the attemtps tofix it, should be rolled back to the generic section. -Willmcw 23:49, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

As a person living in this town I can assure you that they are factual. The local population is mostly farm workers and illegal workers, and due to there illegal status they can not eb counted in any official census as they fear by makign themselves known they would then be cought and exported in the smallest chicken crate possible.

I might be willing to believe that Walla Walla's immigrant population grows to almost 50% at times, however I do take objection to the idea of a large number of them working on mushroom farms... in the 19 years I've lived in Walla Walla, I can't think of a time I've even heard of a mushroom farm in the area.

[edit] Little things

Uhh yeah, the winter is too cold and the summers are too hot and dry for anyone to want to farm mushrooms here.

Also, I removed the word "volcanic" from the description of the valley's soil, as it is not volcanic. The soil is very fertile but is not volcanic, or actually "native," so to speak, to the area: some was blown into the area by the wind, and some was carried in by massive floods.
