Hire our unemployed and put a 4 hour cap on the day. That way you get a morning crew and an afternoon crew. No work.....no eat.

Democrats 1800's: No slaves? Who will pick our crops?
Democrats now: No illegals? Who will pick our crops?

Big Ag 1800's: No slaves? Who will pick our crops?

Meanwhile American youth who could be doing the job are doing nothing and eating themselves to an early grave from type II diabetes.

Kids aren't going to do that work and neither are very many adult citizens, it's horribly hard and backbreaking, that's why the Government will never require e-verify agriculture depends on undocumented labor

Forced labor for the unemployed? I don't think so...

Just wondering if anyone has figured out how high produce and poultry prices will go without illegals? It will be a lot.

Would cost more then that a month just driving to go to work there....assuming they even had a vehicle.
