----------------------------------------------------------- exactly right , if people want strawberries let them pay what strawberries cost !!Five, any jobs opened up from illegals leaving will be filled by American workers. It's not like we have a shortage of them.
LMAO
Yeah buddies, they just lining up to work in the tomato and tobacco fields or spray toxic chemicals on the Christmas trees. And everyone wants to de-bone chickens. Hell, they are lining up outside the doors at the slaughter houses. I know for a fact a good strawberry picker can net twenty bucks plus an hour doing piece work. I doubt there is an American that could make minimum wage doing it. Don't kid yourself.
What would happen is supply and demand of the workforce would take place.
If strawberry farms can't find Americans to do the job, they simply have to offer better money to attract employees. Now this may mean that we pay more for our produce (or chickens) but it also provides jobs that Americans can live on.
Exactly. I won't mind paying three bucks for a head of lettuce if it gives Americans jobs than buying a head for a buck fifty because some foreigner picked it.
