But we don’t have $10 lettuce, right?

"But we don’t have $10 lettuce, right?"

These criminals who hire illegals actually believe they are extorting us, somehow, with their pathetic little farm products.

Like a world without lettuce or any other food item is so awful and unthinkable, that I would pay any amount - and sell out my country - just to keep them in business.

Considering I buy about 1 head of lettuce a month, $10 lettuce would be $120 per year. I live in California where the estimate of what illegals cost each taxpayer was right around $2000 per yr.
$10 a head lettuce would be a real bargain.

How much did you pay in to the IRS on April 15? You helped subsidize each and every one of those $2,700 per illegal households.

Maybe the lettuce wasn't $10 at the cash register, but you made up the difference with your IRS payment.

LoL. We have had Mexican migrant workers picking vegetables for decades. They are a drop in the bucket of the 12 million illegals here. The rest of them have come here in the last 6-7 years and are working constrruction and factory jobs so that the owners of Toll Brothers, Lennar, NV Homes, Hormel, Swift, et.al. can make more profits while charging the same high prices for their goods. Last year Toll Brothers' average profit per house was over $90,000. Yet they can't afford to pay American workers decent wages. Riiiiiiight.
