Those "farmers" don't need slave wage illegal aliens, that are nothing but a burden to taxpayers, a menance to society in so many ways.
The market can bear what ever slight extra cost it takes to hire legal citizens at decent wages.
The thing is that a few large modern tractors or large new modern peices of farm equipment or heck even japanese robots ( in other words Technology), can do more work cheaper than hundreds of Mexican illegals. The liberal media is trying to tell us that Stone Age work habits can outdo our modern tecnological, computerized industrial economy. If that were so then India and Mexico would be rich because they have all the cheap labor that the Democrats say we need.
Remember, “farming” nowadays isn’t much different from construction or building cars. It’s a factory business, not a family business. I used to work for an agricultural lending co-op, and yes, they held many small loans to family farmers. But the majority of their portfolio was seven- and eight-figure loans to large businesses that employed hundreds or thousands of people. Given the opportunity, you know they’ll hire hordes of illegals at ridiculously low wages to do their lettuce picking or chicken plucking or cow slaughtering.
