Maybe they were legal? He didn't say illegal.

You must work for the government. Most businesses can't absorb price shocks and keep operating. Increased labor will result in increased consumer pricing.

Of course he didn't say illegal

I'm saying that if he has to pass those costs on to the consumers it's effectively an admission of guilt imo.. farmers hiring illegals are felons and should be treated as such. A focus on deportation is ridiculous.. start going after the people employing them and the carrot is gone.

Won't do it though. Cause then you'd have to piss in the farmer lobbies cheerios and that's political suicide.

No its not. Is your assumption illegals always make less than people with green cards or temp work visa? If so, your wrong.

If he was using illegal labor, it's his own fault.

I'm a farmer. Majority of our workers are from Mexico. We hire them legally. We're all still working happily and honestly. Production and harvesting hasn't changed.

Not sure what the problem is.

Maybe this will cause Americans to start having 10 plus kids again to work the feilds because right now we are behind in reproducing.
