Let things be imported and let the prices raise.

People can decline buying these things for either or both reasons. That is also part of the free market.

Just so you know ten bucks an hour is a decent non government, non lawyer, non doctor wage in this neck of the woods. But guess what, at the hog rendering plant they pay almost 16 an hour and y9ou wanna know why it is almost all mexican labor there? The non mexican folks got so fed up with all the illegals and all the spanish that they just refused to work there anymore.

One thing we agree on, for opposing reasons.....it really isn't as simple as some make it out to be.

Your above stinks more than the hog rendering plant. It's probably jobs that Americans won't do, but you don't want to admit it, so you come up with some lame excuse.

"Let things be imported and let the prices raise."

The single issue I was speaking of in my post was stoop farm labor. Thats it. I'm not wanting to depend on food imports, and once that small farm goes under, the land gets developed and will never come back into production.

Most other jobs that immigrants are doing, other legal Americans will do for any reasonable wage, stoop labor isn't one they will though.

We need to go back to a "migrant worker" program like we had in the early 60's, pick the crops, then go home.

The liberals got rid of that program saying it was slave labor.
