California without a Mexican - Los Angeles Times
- Workplace enforcement without immigration reform will cripple the economy -- and it will be Joe Public's fault.

Discuss.

Australia is doing just fine without illegals. Fruits and vegatables are pretty cheap too I heard.

Things like this are pointless.

We HAVE laws that would ensure that the RIGHT amount of workers that are actually needed to fill "jobs Americans won't do" are filled by immigrant labor. But there's a process that must be followed.


I think "California without an illegal Mexican" could realize lost tax revenue from illegal labor back in saved prison, healthcare, and law enforcement costs.

$0, since as soon as I get a yard again I'll grow my own.

Couldn't we just import spinach? Don't we subsidize agriculture enough in this country as it is? Shouldn't competition from abroad be enough to supplant any lost US agriculture? Wouldn't it drive innovation and automation by American farmers if faced with competition and challenges for the first time in decades?

Importing food costs more, basic economics. Exact reason why watermelons are like crazy expensive in Japan.

They need to be automated, there are so many benefits to it. Better quality product , means more product, means more money. Right now they are not being challenged because they employ illegals, take the illegals away, forced to modernize.
