Having immigration isn't the issue. The way our current laws are set up allows them to pay below minimum wage, and it also doesn't punish them for any illegal practices. If you go after the employers, you change how the system is run. Unfortunately our farming industry is run by crony capitalism with deep pockets for politicians to fit into, thus many of them in Congress would fight against any of these changes.
Supply and demand it's that simple. Flood the market and wages go down.
It's time to put Trump in DC. I firmly believe he will stop this insanity.
Well that is what happens when we let corporations control the country's farms and make it harder for family farm to run. It is also hard to find anyone that is willing to work below minimum wage in the fields anymore, which is why they often times have to be imported.
Though this is another example of things we should be spending money to crack down on rather than beefing up our military. If our farming industry was forced to pay a more living wage, those jobs would have a better chance of going to Americans. Unfortunately I have yet to really see anyone in politics care about this issue.
No, it happens because YOU continue to vote the same people into office election after election.
Trump says he will put a stop to this sort of garbage, which I believe he would be fully capable of doing, but the people who lost their jobs will refuse to vote Trump because he right wing and they always voted democrat. They are simply getting what they voted for. Hard to feel sorry for em.

Seeing that Trump has been doing a great jobs lying throughout his entire campaign, I am sure he is gonna "put a stop to this." He has proven to be an "excellent" negotiator.
