I have seen white Americans doing work that used to have illegal immigrants doing it... ironically the illegal immigrants doing work charge as much as other Americans doing the same work... and the illegal immigrants don't even pay taxes!! Ironic...

How about we deport all the illegals first and then see how much food prices go up? I think this "the crops will die" stuff put out by Big Ag is about as valid as the "shortage" stuff put out by Big Tech.

From my part this is divine Justice that they who are emigrating away from the chaos that USA caused there are finding their way to the Nation which promised them a better future out of Mexico. That is why we in México give money to beggar Central Americans in our streets who are moving North to the Border. Either way they we will be benefited if they succed to cross the border they will find Justice in the country which caused pain there in their own nations, and they will be grateful to mexicans who help them to reach their goal, if they are not successful in crossing they will settle in the cities of the border increasing the mexican population there.
Uh; the US was NOT strong enough around 1830 to do much to Mexico; either that or Mexico was MUCH weaker since that country didn't fight to keep Guatemala. Too; in 2017, word is Mexico does NOT Guatemala back.

And there is a reason for that. Lettuce goes bad after a certain amount of time, and you have to eat it. An iPhone is used long term and can last a long time if made right. You cannot compare durable goods to non-durable goods.

Why would you ask me to prove it, I never made that claim. I don't think they would go up much, the result would just be less profit to farmers. What you don't seem to understand is that I am not in favor of illegal immigration, what I do support is a decent guest worker program, something that we don't have now.

Thank you.

And screw any healthy American who wants welfare but won't work in the fields. I did it, from age 11 to 26--- And I've always been semi-crippled, even as a child. Why should I have to do it but they don't?????

Oh you most certainly can compare one good to another. You can compare whatever you want. Open your mind.

When did I say I wanted to protect illegal aliens? What I have said is that Trump's war on illegal immigrants is a just red meat for the base; picking off a few hundred people here and there, then issue a press release bragging about it. If he wanted to stop illegal immigration he would go after the employers and prosecute them.
