So, by taking illegal immigrants out of the labor force, it will add $12 per head of lettuce in labor costs?

BTW, I live in Salinas, Ca the salad bowl of the earth. As I drive to work, it looks like they pick more than one head of lettuce per hour.

I don't know how much it would cost

But to be competitive .. farmers would have to pay employers the sames as what the Union boys get

And gee .. the Unions did a bang up job for GM
