Of course there'd be enough. Teenagers are a huge somewhat untapped labor market. Not only that but when it becomes economically feasible an electrical engineer and a mechanical engineer will decide to create an automatic tomato picker, and the costs will tumble.

There is no labor shortage, its just that large corporate farms refuse to pay livable wages. So they import illegal labor and make the tax payers cover the cost of housing, feeding, and health care for the illegals. That tomato costs more than you're paying at the market.

There is another solution. Have chain gangs, and price them lower than illegal labour.

This policy would accomplish several things - I recommend minor criminals such as those caught for shoplifting are put in these chain gangs: sweating and toiling in the sun would prevent recidivism. Secondly, illegal labour would be priced out of the market.

Finally, Bush should quietly build up border defences. Do it without fanfare, just make it happen.

As long as we have the labor market.
