Why don't people realize that once the invaders are made legal, they won't work cheap anymore? They'll be subject to OSHA and minimum wage requirements(even though "farm workers" wages are less than minimum wage, I've lived it), then they'll cry for benefits, vacation time, overtime and then get recruited by the unions.

Cancel welfare and get all Americans back to work.

Same as raising the min. wage. Minimum wage goes up which in turn causes the price of everything else to go up. The only thing that goes down is the value of our hard earned savings. In other words, we're worse off than we were before.

They'll also be more able to move to other jobs which are steadier and pay more like construction. I had a great Schadenfreude feeling when a Georgia onion farmer complained that all of his Mexicans ran off to New Orleans for reconstruction jobs.

That's why farmers want limited agriculture only temporary visas rather than general temporary visas, so their Mexicans don't run off for better jobs and pay.

And then America will be flooded by yet another tidal wave of poor illiterates, that we get to pay for, who we will be told are here to do the jobs the Mexicans won't do.

And they're not going to work in agriculture forever either. They're going to work in the construction and manufacturing sector. Then the farmers are going to cry that they need more immigrants, and the cycle just repeats itself.
