Good point Rodguy. Here’s another. The total number of farm laborers in the USA is 1.2 million. 2/3 of them are Legal immigrants/citizens. We don’t need 12 million illegals to do the farm work of 400,000 people.
And as you stated, all these jobs got done in the 80s and 90s without 12 million illegals.
Its not about “jobs that Americans won’t do”; its about greed and cheap labor. BTW, slaveholders in 1860 were saying the same song. They asked, “How would the cotton get picked or the sugarcane cut without Negro Slavery?”
So what do you think is a Fair Wage for a migrant worker so that you won’t feel that he is a slave?? 50K? 100K?? Fact is they are sneaking into this Country to chase their dream of a better life and that is why they are staying.
I have fought anti-capitalists on the Left for 25 years and not going to stop since they’ve moved to the Right!
