Just like we're subsidizing the sloth and profligacy of Farmer Bill, who is too damn penurious to enlarge his payroll beyond anyone who isn't an illegal alien working for sub-minimum wage.

By all means, then, drive Farmer Bill out of business.

You and your union buddies have just about succeeded in chasing domestic automakers out of the US. May as well start buying all our produce from Mexico and Latin America as well.

Just shows how little you know about agriculture. First of all, Farmer Bill is not eating from the government trough. "Farmers" like ConAgra are. They're the ones hiring illegals. Not the small family farms like Farmer Bill. He can't afford to anyway. He's got other costs to worry about like equipment costs for starters, which are a large part of the farmer's budget.

"Farmers" like ConAgra are pricing the little guy out of the marketplace, even though the little farmer is doing most of the hard labor.
