Of course. And I'm not supporting illegal immigration. But I don't think the political will exists in this country, nor will it ever exist, to start rounding people up and deporting them on a massive scale. I support securing the borders, but I also support realism when it comes to those workers already here.
If we find that we have to pay minimum wage to Americans to pick lettuce, we'll soon find that there is no more American lettuce.
Put the people that hire illegals out of business. Period, end of story. That alone will stop 80% of illegal immigration. Until people are willing to have business's put out of business, nothitng will change.
Amnesty/guest worker won't work. Walls won't work. The only thing that will work is to remove the incentive to come.

No. Some inventor will come up with a lettuce picking machine, thus cutting the costs of our lettuce. This is exactly what happened in Florida, where they finally came up with a citrus
harvesting machine in the last few years.
