But that will not happen because America's citizens don't want to pay $100 a gallon for orange juice or $20 a head for lettuce. Yes that is socialism... and so is the theory of social security. Are you going to give yours up to make things better or work in the field at $6 an hour? I don't think so.
They aren't an "underclass of citizens" they are criminals that need to be captured and deported AFTER SERVING A PRISON TERM OF HARD LABOR!
I won't work around them, or do work for anyone that considers hiring them. I haven't had a customer that didn't back down yet. If one ever does i'll turn them in to INS.
But think about --- we're paying often over $1 for one flimsy head of lettuce --- that's not at all cheap. How many heads of lettuce could be picked in one minute? If you're slow I would think one a second --- but say 20 heads in one minute --- and 50 minutes per hour -- giving a 10 minute break or idle time per hour --- that's 1000 an hour --- even if it would take a half minute to pick one head of lettuce -- a super super slow picker --- that would be 100 heads per hour with the 10 minute break. You should be able to pay legal wages with that kind of money coming in per hour.
