Complaining about the pervasiveness of illegals in certain US industries is like a Roman complaining about the pervasiveness of slaves in the Empire. The sad fact is that our society utilizes many sources of cheap labor.

There is probably no restaurant in the US that hasn’t employed illegals at one time or another.

And if you ever ate a tomato, it was picked by a migrant, and chances are that some of the tomatoes you have eaten were picked by illegals.

It’s a labor/cost issue, not an immigration issue.

Oh, nonsense. There isn’t a restaurant in my town with illegal aliens in it. White kids do the work, like they used to all over this country until people like you convinced them some 3rd world alien should do it. And I grow my own tomatoes or buy local farmer US citizen grown.
My area isn’t a 3rd world dump...yet...and I have no intention of seeing it become one. If you like living that way, bully!

Only 3% of the illegal aliens work in agriculture. Don’t feed this nonsensical beast!
