I suppose that you believe that we need 10 million illegals to pick apples and harvest vegetables.

Uh the article you posted basically stated that "maybe" that 10% of the Apple crop could be totally automated. I guess it is alright with you if the whole crop rots on the trees.

Erm..no. But Americans would be harvesting these apples if they could only get hired...problem is, we are flooding this country with cheap labor and driving wages down. Companies won't pay Americans when they know they can entice cheaper labor to make that swim across the Rio Grande.

How many people are on welfare, Dane? Are you opposed to using them as farm labor? I'm still waiting for you to answer my question - what do Americans get out of the Bush amnesty?
