. So your answer is to turn this nation into the old South again, where as the rich live in their sheltered communities, and work cheap labor just like the plantation owners had their slaves eh ? Hey slaves didn't work for nothing, because they were given a roof over their head, food to eat and such just like government dependents and cheap labor the same. The only difference between back then and now, is the looked down upon are afforded a little bit more than the slaves were given back then, and so that's supposed to make it all OK somehow right ? You do know that saying that Mexicans are just doing the jobs that Americans won't do, is suggesting that these poor Mexicans are desperate, and are grateful that they are given the chance to work for an American for hardly nothing right ? Who in the Hell do we as Americans think that we are to even create such a situation as that, otherwise to rob people of their dignity, and to exploit people while letting our young become some of the most sorriest human beings in the world ? It's all leading us straight to Hell with gasoline britches on.. Listen, just to give you a clue as to where I am coming in from, well let me tell you. I watched as crew after crew of contractor lineman who were Americans, got replaced like a wildfire burning through a territory full of dry brush by the Illegals/migrants/immigrants that were brought in. Yep, and they were American workers who would do a job that most Americans wouldn't do, and they did it for many a year as a part of this nations history. I watched as management of companies were lied to and replaced, retired out early just because the elite who knew what was going down, uh didn't want these American patriots to see what was fixing to go down with all the crap. I watched as crew after construction crew, and manufacturing jobs, processing plants etc.switched over to cheap labor therefore replacing American labor with the excuse that they would no longer do the jobs that these illegal cheaper laborers would do. I witnessed a poutry processing plant get busted for being slam full of illegal laborers, and them having to revert back to American labor. Guess what ? That's been years ago now, and it's just amazing that the plant hasn't skipped a beat, and it is full of wait for it "American Workers". That was the biggest lie ever told that the Americans wouldn't work, and therefore the illegals or migrants or immigrants who were working for way less had to fill the positions of the sorry Americans who wouldn't work now.. The gig is up, and the business sector who is guilty of this has some splaining to do. They'll just keep lying right on about it all.Did you ask yourself who is responsible for all of these?
Look your self in the mirror. If you can not figure that out you are stupid. I'm getting tired of people like you blaming business owners of your failure.
Our borders are sealed we do not need military base or that stupid wall.
Way too much exaggeration there Beagle. I'm in the business of medical instruments and consumables for over 20 years and my father started this business 18 years before me. I know tons of businesses and ton of business owners.
Most of these illegals are working for mom and pop shops, low paying jobs, dirty that Americans don't do. You make it sound that these illegals that barely understand a simple English are taking over high paying jobs. People like me and others that I knew is *IMPOSSIBLE* to hire illegals. About 80% of my consumables are made in China and Mexico but Adolf Trump products are 100% made in China and Mexico.
The ONLY way and ONLY way I can compete here and abroad is to make my products overseas. Yes I can make them here in America........ But are my fellow Americans willing to pay the higher prices? We are not talking $15 or $20 increases here. It's very simple economics.
Trump hired H1 employees and according to him he cannot find waitress, cook and janitors in Florida. I'm sure Trump supporters like you believed Trump.
I do not have H1B employees yet ............... but if I have to make my products here in US I do not have a choice but to hire H1B workers. Even that my prices are still way way too high. So if we bring those jobs back here in America according to Trump ........... Who do you think will fill in those jobs? Think.
I do not have an answer for the whole world Beagle. But as I previously mentioned look yourself in the mirror who is responsible for all these.
Cost of this strawberry is about $5.99 here in Key Biscayne .......... How much do you think it will cost if we pay them $12. per hour or $15. Here in Key B. I don't think it's a problem but other parts of America................ Are my fellow Americans willing to pay higher prices than that?

On the crop picking thing, I have a lot on that 'profession', too, and the labor costs; I'll get my links together on that in the next couple of days, and then the Peanut Gallery can see what a load of BS they've been fed on that as well. As for '$12 or $15 an hour' being some huge cost burden, labor costs in most ag businesses are already calculated at $10 to $12' for the last 20 years, and when the costs per box are calculated, it comes to fractions of a hundredth of a cent per pound; the cost of labor in that '$5.99 a pound' of strawberries all the way up from the fields through packing and then to the store bin is miniscule.
I'm very impressed with your calculations..............
If farmers are paying these people between $5 to $8 an hour......... Hiring American workers asking $12 to $15......... That is if you can find an American workers........... Price increase are minuscule? LOL.
