I tend to agree with that statement. I left the Concrete and Construction biz in Cali as I could not compete with the illegals employers. (among a few other reasons)
But the farmers deal in a free market, if everyone else is employing illegals, that is what you have to do. There is no Market Premium for produce harvested by legals. Organic yes, but not just because the farmer followed the law. A real shame what's happening to this nation.

My husband got out of the construction business in Austin many years back because he couldn't maintain his workers salaries when other companies would drive over to east Austin and gather up illegals in the backs of their trucks for a pittance.
