She misses the point. If there were a LEGAL GUEST WORKER PROGRAM that allowed these employers to hire LEGAL temporary labor, and the employers knew they would be fined and/or prosecuted if they hire ILLEGAL labor, then the employers will make the obvious correct choice.
" If there were a LEGAL GUEST WORKER PROGRAM that allowed these employers to hire LEGAL temporary labor, ...."
Why the legal guest worker program at all ?
That question should be a totally seperate issue, that should be addressed only after the hiring of illegals has stopped and the businesses find themselves with a massive labor shortage that simply cannot be filled with American workers.
It might even convince Feinstein that continually raising the minimum wage is counter-productive, as it will reach a point where these growers cannot afford to hire legal workers and sell their product to compete with imports.
