The problem is the illegals will refuse to do jobs lower than “hispanic activist” once they get legalized.

In 2014 farmers were complaining about Obama’s amnesty.

They need “in the shadows” if they want cheap farm workers.

Amnesty will make it worse.

A particularly bizarre moment in the immigration debate came and went almost unnoticed. At the same House subcommittee hearing at which Stephen Colbert testified, Rep. Steve King (R- Iowa), who opposes legalization for the undocumented workers who plant, pick, harvest and package a substantial portion of the nation’s crops and produce, offered this alternative: Americans could simply wean themselves from fruits and vegetables. Salad, broccoli, spinach, tomatoes, etc., cannot be all that important to human health, King suggested, huffing “I’m wondering how the Eskimos got along all those centuries without fruits and vegetables!”

King didn’t say that. But Im sure society could go a few months with strawberry shortage while machines get put in.
