        What would those agriculture and horticultural industries think if all those " illegals" were sent home--who would pick their crops for low wages

        no one you damned fool. the wages would rise. costs of fruit and vegetable would rise. fewer people would be raped and beheaded. it’s a trade off.

        Actually automation would bring food cost down. CA vineyards have experienced this.

        Good point - but whether all these agriculturists can make the changes debatable....they do not mind the immigrants as they are paid peanuts--and automation would have to be better at the cost of harvesting

        It’s not a matter that they can’t afford it. They said they get to claim they’re paying higher wages and pocket the difference

        Um, undocumented immigrants have a lower crime rate than native born Americans. If you really are concerned about crime rates, don't have any children...

        Fortunately, thats not accurate. Here you go: "...  illegal immigrants are less likely to be incarcerated than native-born Americans."https://www.cato.org/publications/immigration-research-policy-brief/their-numbers-demographics-countries-origin …

        You wanted cheap for so long (both parties), so you could beat wages down by pitting illegals against legals, now the woes of in-disparity are at your door step and you wonder why You propagate homelessness, drug abuse, mass shootings,.etc

        Let's not pretend farm corporations are passing their labor savings down to the consumer. These people could be replaced by machines. The farmers just want the gov't to pay for the machines.
