If Mexicans do not pick crops someone will invent a machine that does. After all that's why the plantation owners wanted slaves. After the slaves were no longer exploitable the cotton gin (invented 1793) was invented and there was no longer a need for slaves to pick the cotton. The same holds true for the Illegal Immigrants of today. Well said, necessity really is the Mother of invention. CA should and could be in the business of developing robotic harvesters and exporting these around the world. Instead we're importing people who haven't got a pot to piss in and who continue to celebrate the very country that has made them refugees.

CA should and could be in the business of developing robotic harvesters and exporting these around the world. Only if they're engineered in India and manufactured in China.
