Is a level 100 troll. I don't listen to anything she has to say. All I gotta say is, do you you want to bust your back picking strawberries for $6/hour?

My view is that you have no clue where to post.

the view that employers should be responsible for problems caused by the government not enforcing the borders is as absurd as the idea that I should pay pollution penalties for buying BP products....or wait, how about we fine households who purchase fruit and vegetables picked by illegals since they're the ones creating the market for the products...
employers are not the cause of the problem, the government is for not deporting those found here illegally.
typical populist BS putting blame on the ones with the most money instead of the ones who actually responsible..
same nonsense as
blaming only Wall Street because morons borrowed more than they could ever pay back
blaming only Enron when employees put 100% of their retirement in one investment
blaming only Madoff or Stanford instead of the greedy investors trying to get above market returns without properly researching the entity
this is not to say those individuals or entities that commit fraud should not be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, but media sells to the masses and they do that by telling the masses they're not responsible for their problems, the big bad guy with all the money is, so let's get him to pay for all of society's ills

If Mexican farm labor is so much cheaper, maybe we should be growing our fruits and vegetables in Mexico. There's absolutely no reason to import Mexicans to do something they could do at home and then sell to us. I believe this is what economists call "competitive advantage."
It's comparative advantage

Ask the State of Alabama how their tough immigration law worked out. All the farm hands left the state and crops died or didn't get picked.
I'm going off memory but I think the state estimated the loss at 350 million, private sources had the loss north of 500 million.
