No! Without the illegals, the system will equalize itself out. Either the growers offer a bigger wage to attract people or develop the technology to do the work. It's been done before, many many times.Thank you!
It is not even close that the US "needs" the illegal labor, for agriculture, or other industries for that matter. This is total lobbyist (self-serving) poppycock. Those politicians who are sincere enough (if there are any)to really believe this are simply over their head.
Either way, they are ignorant or whores. That's the "leadership" we have elected.
One has to wonder: If the solution to rising agriculture produce is to bring in millions of Mexicans to pick more lettuce, isn't it logical to extrapolate that the solution to rising gas prices is to bring in millions of Arabs to drill for more oil?
Let's see them ram that one through ;)
