Folks are missing the point.

First you close the borders. Then you deport all of the illegals.

Now farmers are offering their jobs only to people who are legally entitled to take them. The employers and applicants negotiate a wage they can both accept and work commences.

Econ 101, people. Learn it, believe it, use it.

100% correct.

And when the employers have to pay more for labor they will use their workers more efficiently including buying equipment to better utilize workers time. E.g., berries are picked more efficiently in New Zealand than in Califorania.

No...this is easier...

Close the Border.

then enforce the employer work laws....cancel illegal’s entitlements except emrgency medical care.

Problem solved. No work, no entitlements...they will go home themselves..they already are.

Funny how the fascist demoRATs in congress ignore that. The problem w/illegal messycans working in the states is that they work for near slave wages. That's the problem.

If we'd deport their sorry butts, then wages would rise to realistic levels.
