Yes, you would think so - but I have been eating Washington apples all my life - somebody was picking them before the illegals.
I do know what you mean, but that actually seems so with any agribusiness, home construction, highway construction. It is amazing!! If all these people were paying taxes, the government wouldn't have a deficit.
Not only that, but it'd greatly reduce the number of families on "welfare". You see, once unemployment runs out, there aren't a whole lot of options if there isn't any work.
Unfortunetly, it becomes almost impossible for a family to subsist on any public assistance these days as major cutbacks have taken place over the past decade. Although politicians have created the illusion that SOCIAL welfare was the MAJOR cause of the deficit, it has in reality been CORPORATE welfare that's been the MAJOR cause of our debt.
