>>>The borders are practically wide open with thousands of illegals coming every day and the farmers can't find workers. That ought to tell you something. They don't want just cheap labor. They want temporary slave labor<<<




Last week, Safeway in Oregon had orange from Australia and Apples from New Zealand cheaper than domestic produce.

But we'll have $10 heads of lettuces if we don't leave our doors open?

Personally, I would rather import lettuce then cheap labor that I get taxed to subsidize.

I American farmers can't figure out how to run their farms without breaking the law then it is time for them to go out of business and sell their land to somebody who can.
