Or do you want to pay $100 per ounce for strawberries

If you business is so inefficient that the rest of us taxpayers have to underwrite it (providing healthcare, education, etc) for your illegal alien employees, it's living on borrowed time anyway.

Let the price of strawberries creep upward and watch what happens. It's called free enterprise.

You missed the point.

My point was that the ONLY way you would get US citizens to pick strawberried, you'd have to pay them high salary and benefits, and they would be so sloppy and would leave half the strwberried unpicked anyway, which in turn would result in ridiculously high prices for strawberrries and vegetables in general -- so then the US would stop growing them, and import them from S. America. I don't see how that would be an improvement.
