Equipment manufacturers are working hard to further mechanize crop harvesting.Before long illegals will just be obsolete

[glorgau]

For all our technological and mechanical advancement, the job of harvesting the products of our nation’s vast agricultural acreage hasn’t changed much since.

Because why pay for automation if you have cheap labor? Raise the price of labor and farmers will suddenly discover that they can automate.

That’s true. And as soon as it is more expensive for them to pay for the illegals than it is for the machinery they will switch. They get cheaper labor, and the taxpayers have to pay for the now mandatory services for their families, and it is supposed to be for our benefit because our lettuce is cheap? I’ll pay more for lettuce.
