Real question is do we kick out 900,000 migrant workers, who keep farms running and food on tables as they have for years. I don't see many Americans out in the fields?

Yes, we DO kick them out...

Ever been to farm country??? You know, where the locals schools quit for a few weeks during the harvest season, the kids go out and help their families pick the produce? And maybe earn a little extra money for school-clothes, their first car, or something like that??? You know, working for a farmer for a few weeks...?

Does any of this ring a bell???

Have you ever seen farm country???

I've also heard that farm mechanization progress is less than what it should be in this country because of the endless supply of cheap foreign labor.
