Can you imagine immigrant type employees making the money they should be making? You can get some white people out in the fields for 50 bucks and hour. How much more is that than the average Mexican or Guatalmalan is making?

I'm only talking about illegal immigrants. All the times I've flown into NY I amazed at all the immigrants doing hard jobs driving taxis. Something Americans can no longer do.
If you're happy to pay for cheap goods to see fellow Americans on the dole, then fine. Always said America is a ME type society instead of an us type society. But don't be fooled and think you're getting something cheap by immigrants doing jobs Americans can do. Add the costs I highlighted to your taxes and US debt that'sthe real cost.
Fruit and veg picking can be done by legal immigrants allowed in on their own and the employer makes sure they picks up all the medical, housing costs, makes sure they return, etc. Or automate the systems. How do you think they solve the problem in Australia?
