Yes there is but don't expect the naysayers to notice. There are reasons this problem is never addressed seriously and they are economic. And one can blame employers for low wages but these same people would be screaming if they saw those wages translated to higher prices for fruits, vegetables, etc.

I strongly disagree with that. I think of Americans would be willing to pay a little more for fruits and vegetables in exchange for knowing that their status as Americans means something special. A lot of us are proud to be Americans and believe that we have something worth preserving here.

I don't know many Americans who want to exchange the integrity of this country's legal system, culture and sovereignty for cheaper vegetables.

We have been doing it for years though. I do know what you are saying but in order to come to grips with this problem I think the solution needs to be pragmatic. Going forward I would not support anything that didn't include stict enforcement of the law.
