re: The problem with illegal immigration explained as if you were 5 years old (or a liberal)

Don't forget that the contractor hiring Juan now has significantly lower overhead, allowing him a huge advantage in bidding jobs. This will allos Juan's contractor to take market share from John's company until John is run out of business since his company legally cannot charge as little as Juan's employer.

The same is true with ag labor. The farmers pay less than minimum wage, so only illegals can work those jobs. If the illegals were rounded up, the produce would rot in the field because Americans literally cannot work for the rates farmers pay to pick crops. Farmers would have to pay more to hire Americans.
