Wait until you see what it does to food prices. I used to work for a Big Agra company and about 30 to 40% of our farm and processing work force was undocumented...of course they weren't "employed" by us. You hide that in a few layers of shell companies and contract firms.

American Agriculture's Dependence on Immigrant Workers (2021)
ualr.edu

... Immigration is one of the most hotly debated issues in American politics. With the ever-growing demand for food, demand for labor to harvest that food continues to rise as well. 73% of the crop farm worker population in the United States are immigrant workers. Roughly 48% of hired crop farmworkers have no work authorization. Immigrant workers are able to assist with harvest through the H-2A Temporary Agricultural Program. This program allows crop farmers to hire seasonal, foreign-born workers to help with labor needs for up to 10 months out of the year. In 2019, there were 258,000 certifications issued for H-2A visas. Other year-round industries like dairy and poultry production facilities are not eligible for H-2A visas, causing them to rely on undocumented workers. ...

As I have said before.

The problem to solve is not the influx of immigrants.

The problem to solve is an economy dependent upon the immigrants.

But hey why weren't you liberals warning us about the fact that immigrants, while on their coffee breaaks from their full-time jobs of murdering and raping American citizens, also do most of the backbreaking labor in this country. Hey Trumpyassh**es you want to pay $10 for one tomato? God you Trumpers are just stupid people.
