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.

Your strawberry argument is seriously flawed. The key word is illegal. We already allow people to legally come and pick strawberries (or pretty much whatever else). Growers can still get low cost labor to pick strawberries. Heck congress just gave them all a raise...
