I agree on some levels, but not the level of jobs the illegals do - field food-picking and hotel janitorial work. But they should be paid a fair wage. All we need in this country is another group of people crying REPARATIONS!!! 30 years from now.

I agree on those jobs but also see a danger here that the supermarkets will not pay an increase to get the produce from American producers and therefore will buy the produce from abroad. It sounds crazy but sometimes it is cheaper to import food than to buy it from fair traders in your own country.

The bottom line is the consumer is not willing to pay more.

The result in paying fair wages again for hotel workers will be an increase in charges probably nearing European levels for accommodation.
