Two things would happen, a glut of farm workers...an instant drop from the welfare rolls.
That's what gets me, they say these are jobs "Americans won't do" well back in my hometown Americans worked in the chicken plants, it certainly wasn't the favored job but it got you by. Now those jobs are taken by the influx of "immigrant workers" and those that used to take the jobs at the chicken plants are most likely the folks that are on welfare (no jobs available and frankly they didn't work anyway).
Well, another part to that lie...they also are taking jobs that Americans would love to do....drywall, construction etc.
I’ve worked in a chickenfeed plant. Now, that’s a story.
