How much did fruits and vegies cost before the mass invasion started? Think about it. When I was a kid my parents sent me out to the Strawberry/Blueberry/Garlic fields every summer to work. My kids can't even get into those places any more. And no, Strawberries have not gotten cheaper since then.

Irrelevant. What is relevant is that if you remove the cheap labor from the fields it will have a significant impact on the economy any you will not like that...

Ditto for my kids. There are plenty of kids in the Yakima (WA) Valley that would really like a job, period. They try to get work in the fields or orchards or fruit warehouses for the summer and no luck. Immigrants now take these jobs. And it's not for the lack of citizens not wanting them either. (I despise that argument). Kids, if they are lucky enough to get jobs for the summer (adults year-round)end up working for the fast food places with fewer hours and less pay.
