“Sounds like these Georgia laws are making a real impact...”

Yes, and another article in the Augusta Chronicle was about farmers having to struggle and face crops rotting in their fields because Mexican workers are choosing to leave like y’all want.

I for one expect to pay market prices for products which are produced by LEGAL immigrants.

They shouldn’t have been relying on illegals.

They should be paying a prevailing U.S. wage or better yet, mechanizing.

Guess they’ll have to pay higher wages then.

Well If that is the case then perhaps those farmers should hire some of the high school kids who cannot get a job a Micky D's because all the illegals have them.  Or better yet get Mikey D's to fire the illegals and send them to the fields where they belong. Now that would be a win win situation Americans who can speak English serving food at Mcdonalds, now who could imagine that

The tomatoes at my local PathMark cost me a buck each. If they can't afford to pay somebody to pick tomatoes at a buck each, the farmers are seriously inefficient.

This will cut into their margins. Boo-FReepin'-hoo.

I’m glad your husband is a former state rep, if he thinks as you do.

I totally reject the notion that a person MUST be illegal in order to work on a farm.

Then hire legal migrant workers, but don’t try that “poor farmers can’t get workers” crap here. It doesn’t hold water.

The Farmers have options. When Americans are losing high paying jobs (construction, factory, etc..) to illegal immigrants, they don’t have many options.
