Good article in understanding the mindset of the Open Border Lobby and why president after president refuses to close the border with Mexico.

===========================

The right way to look at illegal immigration is with a pragmatic eye. Simple questions need to be asked: Are Americans willing to pay $4 instead of $1 for a head of lettuce?

Do we really want to shore up the borders and then watch inflation grow rapidly? The big owners of agribusiness know the answer to these questions, as do the politicians they support.

When mechanical harvesting began with tomatoes, the price dropped because the labor costs dropped and acreage planted increased enlarging the supply.

The same would happen with lettuce.

Funny thing about agriculture when labor goes into short supply machines take over the business.

What use to take 14 people is now handle by one man In about 12 hours.

There has been no economic incentive, with cheap labor, to build machine to pick the melons, the strawberries or the garlic.

With no illegals, you bet your sweet butt there would be a technology increase comparable to the rest of modern agriculture.

A decade ago, there was a big fuss in California when some concerned citizens

This leftist-know-it-all slants his rant to the extreme. He forgets to tell his Seattle readers, the big "fuss" was when a clear majority of millions of TAX-PAYING CITIZENS voted to cut off the free cash and bennies for ILLEGALS. Instead of following the voters will, then Gov Grey Davis got together with a leftist JUDGE and the Proposition was declared UNconstitutional.

And then there's the STUDY that PROVES ILLEGAL ALIENS pay more tax, work harder, cut their grass, wash their cars, and are more honest and religious than all citizens combined !

Strange, but I did a study that proves ILLEGALS commit ten times the crime, ripoff all levels of government cash/bennies (ie the US Taxpayers), violate untold numbers of laws, and carry the most deadly diseases in world history.

Here is some FEC-$ evidence to support my description of the FAR-LEFT LIBERAL writer:
