Ok Kick the Aliens out and pay Seven dollars for a head of lettice--Five bucks for an Orange and three bucks for an apple. The illegal's are the only ones willing to work at these jobs. American's don't want to flip burgers or pick crops--its just that simple. Why should they? They got welfare and "safty nets."
You need to do some reading about President Eisenhower (1953-1961).
He was the last President America had that had the foggiest idea about what border sovereingty is and what to do with illegal aliens.
Who told you that, Karl Rove?
I don't know how old you are but America did just fine without a sub class of non-citizens. Their presence has retarded mechanization in agriculture and corrupts what remains of our laws, values and culture. Your estimates of adjusted values are unrealistic and your evaluation of Americans willingness to work insults those who would do those jobs for a living wage. Until we stop being Mexico's welfare state that country will have no incentive to reform itself nor any hope of becoming a productive and viable economic power.

In some hospitals, as much as two-thirds of total operating costs are for uncompensated care for illegal aliens.
Our taxes are paying for this subsidized work force. Your paying one way or another.

If it got that bad, we could use the huge prison populations to pick the crops. Welfare? My bad, but I speak perfect English, which outed me. I lost my MediCal benefits thanks to some clerk at Harbor UCLA, even though I qualify. Welfare? Being a divorced white female, there are no safety nets. If you should apply for benefits, they will come to your home and steal your children.
Come back when you learn how to talk out your mouth instead of your rearend.
I'll pay it in a heartbeat without having to worry about the scum crossing the border.
I don't believe it will come to that, whenever labor becomes scarce or expensive innovation kicks in. I'd be willing to bet that if every illegal were deported within a few years you'd see some sort of mechanization of a lot of these jobs, and the ones that were left would pay a high enough wage to attract native born workers. This mantra that without illegal labor the economy would shut down is a crock.
