"A miniscule increase in the cost of harvesting lettuce and tomatoes alone will erase your $20 billion, I know that seems like a lot of money to you, but it isn't.

Then you'll deal with the increase in wages for the menial jobs of cleaning rooms in hotels, washing dishes, tending to the golf courses, and before you know it, saving the taxpayers $20 billion have cost the public $200 billion."
And you have documentation? And just how do you think we managed before 1970??? American family farmers planted and harvested for hundreds of years without the help of illegals, thank you...I just don't know how we managed without??? ROFLMAO

kelly, you truly think that undocumented illegal aliens crossing the SW border is something that did not exist before the 1970's?

Girl!

But you are incredibly naive!

The problem with an increasing illegal alien population began when we started "controlling" the border.

Before, migrant workers would come in, work, and go home when harvesting season was over, then, they became afraid of not being able to rerurn to their jobs if they returned home, and they decided to stay here.
