what will the u,s,a do now for produce harvest as no more illegal aliens to do that for them?

Question

fully 1/2 the fields are wasting as our version of leagal slave labour ,is chased back to mexico.food rots,solutions please?

Answer 1

Absolutely!

We don't need 12 varieties of lettuce in the supermarket to survive as a nation. If growers can't find workers short term, they should plow those fields under (great fertilizer) and plant a more lucrative crop next time so that they can afford workers at decent wages.

That investment should be made in a non-slave industrial or agricultural activity, like small farm organic vegetables which command higher prices and don't use high-cost fertilizers and pesticides.

Growers could then offer legal jobs to Americans, who would glady pick crops for proper work conditions and good wages. Nothing wrong with that. Same goes for restaurant and other work that employers have recruited illegals to perform over the past 20 years. There's a lot to be said for organizing the work so that it is geared toward legal activity instead of organizing it for slave labor methods.

Relying on slave labor is a bad habit for any economy. It corrupts the slavedriver and the slaveowner as well as all the people tangentially involved (like those whose jobs are displaced). We in the US are not suffering for lack of population or workers, just for lack of people willing to suffer inhuman conditions, excessive hours and poor or no pay.

Answer 2

That salad that you order with your dinner will cost you $10.00, $5 for a piece of fruit and $1 per grape. The farmers will no longer be able to pay 5 to 6 dollars per hour if Americans, the ones who say that the illegals are taking jobs away, will want a union, benefits, and much higher pay. As always is the custom in this country the corporations will want to maintain their same profit margin, so guess what, they simply pass that along to the consumers.

Answer 3

I have absolutely no idea how to respond to this question. I want to be objective and come up with a philosophical retort, but the only thing that keeps coming to mind, your right - good point. There aren't any Americans willing to work for slave-labour prices. Not being funny, it's true.

Answer 4

There are still 20 to 30 million illegals still here, and hundreds more coming in every day.

Many of them making very good money. The real slave labor is in Mexico because the country is so corrupt.

Answer 5

1/2 the fields are not wasting, I'm sorry to be the one to tell you. Nor are illegal immigrants racing back to the border, again I apologize. But, when they are gone, we can put more stringent limits on welfare, food stamps, and social security to those that are capable of working but just can't seem to find a job. When they have no government support anymore, we will have are field labor again.

Answer 6

For every rotten apple left un picked, kill 7 non Redpublicans.

At noon EST live on Fox make them kneel down bound and gaged. Then cut their throats with a side scycle mower mounted on a Top Fuel Pull Tractor.

That will show them not to mess with our farms.

Answer 7

Pay decent wages and the work will get done. The owners hired illegals because they worked cheap and could not complain if they were cheated.

Answer 8

Well, of course, we're going to grow our own veggies for our vegan diet and sit around the campfire in our Birkenstock sandals singing Kumbaya while we eat them.

Answer 9

1) We have enough LEGAL Americans to do the work...
2) They haven't left, the ILLEGALS are still here... oh yeah, and collecting benefits that they haven't contributed to (through taxes) while they are at it...

Answer 10

American citizens and legal workers in the U.S. will do it. The falicy that Americans do not want the jobs is just that.
