Oh, and if we did away with the illegal workforce, we may have $5 heads of lettuce in our stores; but with our lowered tax burden due to lowered "social services" costs (see my previous post) we would have more money in our own pockets to buy that $5 head of lettuce with.

But I'm not a professional. Just a dreamer.

Wouldn't happen, I read hire legal American's at $10 an hour would raise it by .25 cents per head.

By my own calculations, if one cuts 100 head of lettuce in an hour at $5.00 an hour, that would be .05 labor per head of lettuce, pay someone $10 (an AMERICAN) that would increase the cost per head by .05 cents. I don't know how many head a person could cut in an hour but I'd bet 100 is an extremely low estimate.

We're just buying into the arguments employers of illegals want us to believe.
