Well according to what I'm hearing around here, there's a bunch of Freepers who won't be voting for "W" again...LOL.
Maybe we can get JEB to run in '08??? (DUCKING!!)
This is a big country and despite what some say, there ARE jobs in the USA that many people just won't do. If there are Americans who will work the fields that need it, why aren't they doing it? Oh, yeah, the pay is too low...so there you have it...JOBS Americans' will not take because the PAY is too low. So, let's raise the pay!
Next think you know the prices of that produce are increasing, you ask why? Market driven economy is a wonderful thing isn't it? Don't socialist demonrats demand higher wages for low value jobs?
It's all a vicious circle isn't it?

It's the free market. Illegal immigration screws it up.
Sad attempt to justify criminal activity. Some people value principle and truth more than money.
If a bracero can pick 100 heads of lettuce an hour, and gets paid 5 dollars an hour, the cost of picking a head of lettuce is five cents.
I bought a head of letuce yesterday for $1.28.
If the grower had paid an American THIRTY DOLLARS AN HOUR to pick the same lettuce, ($60,000/ year.), the price of a head of lettuce would go up by 25 cents, to $1.53.
This would stop you from eating lettuce? Lord, just how much of the stuff do you eat?
