Logically, yes, if laws are enforced, since workers would be paid at least the minimum wage, which now they aren't. But since current law already covers hiring and payment of these workers, and it's VERY poorly enforced, I don't really see much changing.

There hasn't been proven yet such a strong correlation between immigration and the prices of fruit or vegetables.
There is hardly any solid evidence about the correlation of immigration laws and the Consumer Price Index!

would YOU like to work in the fields and orchards for 6 bucks an hour(it's piece work so you work your butt off to make that wage)Farmers will have to pay considerably more or invest in mechanization where possible.Short term impact will be a spike in prices and a shortage of labor intensive crop products as farmers shift growing patterns to less labor intensive produce.

Good point Victory. Lets strip all the illegals of welfare, medicaid, educational benefits, etc and ship them back. I will take my chances that my Brussels sprouts will get more expensive.

Logically, they shouldn't, as all the money dumped into free medical, legal and educational handouts will be available to subsidize produce farmers.
