We still have 38 million illegals in this country. Why can't some of them pick the vegetables?

Or, have they found other higher paying jobs Americans "won't do" and moved on to occupations?

No, they haven't found higher paying jobs that "Americans won't do", they've just undercut their wages. But then we all know that, it's just that our government doesn't care.

First they came for the gardening jobs
and I did not speak out
because I was not a gardener.
Then they came for the construction jobs
and I did not speak out
because I was not in construction.
Then they came for the computer jobs
and I did not speak out
because I was not a computer programmer.
Then they came for my job
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

paraphrased from
Pastor Martin Niemöller
