and Bush did actually decide to stop policing the world and bring your troops back home to defend your borders and keep illegals out, how many of you would be willing to pick your own produce? Or pay much more for it because you will have to pay a fair wage? Or do you even eat veggies?

Sahara..live and work reasonably? Your minimum wage is 6.00 an hour. In my country it is 11.00. We don't tip here. We make a fair wage. How evil those Mexicans are for having to put lots of people in one house or car. I think you should hunt them and rape them at the borders..oh wait, you got that covered.

And for all of you that think I encourage exploitation, I am merely pointing out the fact that you stuff your fat faces with food paid for by the blood of Mexicans, you drink wine around your happy excessive tables made of grapes they suffer to pick, you spray them with poison and then begrudge them access to a doctor, and then you have the gall to complain about them working in your fields.

"It's not Mexicans we HATE. It's illegals. Can you say "ILLEGAL"? As in, NOT LEGAL. Against the law. What is it about illegal that YOU PEOPLE don't understand?"
Your gonna get this answer from a bunch of racists trying to sound political. With some of the words capitol and everything. LOL.

Isn't a 'Fair' Wage something we should pay regardless of their legal status. Or do you love Mexicans so much more than we 'hate' them., that you would pay them unfair wages to continue to do what they are doing?
Give me a break, I don't hate Mexicans! This is not about how we feel about Mexicans or any other displaced ex patriot of another country.
This is about the National security of our United States, this is about those who cut in line. This is about an invasion of another country over our sovereign borders. This in the long run is about helping the Mexicans take back their own country.
If we keep allowing the Mexican government to foist off their most displaced and disconnected citizens to us, it will be us who face their wrath when they finally rebel.
By allowing those of undocumented status to cross the borders and have no consequences for doing so, we have created two new classes in our social structure.
The first is a class of virtual slavery, where American companies can hire and fire these people indiscriminately with virtual immunity from labor laws.
The other class is a new Mafia like group that is advocating violence, and shaking down their own communities while committing crimes against all of us. And we are not allowed to question their status!
So yes I would be willing to pay more for produce, if that is what it takes.
But this would only be short term, because the agricultural industry has stifled innovation and technological growth, due to the fact that it was cheaper to pay Illegals to due the work.
If their labor force is dried up, just wait to see how technology will rush in to fill the need. Just like every other industry in America.
Then the Mexicans can stand up and take back their country! A rich country at that, with some of the largest untapped oil reserves in the world, all owned and operated by the wealthy few, who run the government, who are encouraging the migration to our country so they don't have to deal with the problem.

Some Americans eat almost no vegetables, it's true. I like veggies, though the ones in the supermarket generally suck, you have to go to a farmer's market or grow them in your own garden to get anything decent.
Illegals don't make orders of magnitude more than legal workers. The legal migrant formworkers that can be brought in with a little planning and paperwork certainly don't cost much more than illegals, you just can't spray pesticide on them with impunity, or make them sleep in ditches. Sure, I'd suck up the extra cost of keeping agribusiness honest - I'm already putting up with the extra cost of the freak'n War at the gas pump.

I know there are ignorant fools who hate Mexicans, but they are few and far between. Actually I am disappointed at the racism in the question. According to your statements, Americans should fight harder to stop illegal immigration because these poor people are being taken advantage of and are being paid a sub-standard (less than fair) wage. Tell me, why do you hate Mexicans so much that you think they should be treated sub-standard and unfairly?
To answer your question:
I do grow and pick my own produce, it is much cheaper and tastes better. I am more than happy to pay more so that the farmers in AZ, NE, IA, CA, etc can actually start making a living and quit selling the family farms to developers.

First off, I will be eagerly voting for Ron Paul.
I think that we can afford to pay veggie pickers fair wages, without the need to pay hiher prices. This impact would be on farmers profits.
A hour of labor in a field at $8 per hour can generate hundreds of dollars of produce. So cost increase would be based on greed of business owners demand for profits. Saying that, business owners could pay them $15 an hour and STILL make money.
Yes I eat vegetables. I like them fresh, or grilled.

This isn't about hating Mexicans. This is about people coming into the US that are not citizens...and then we pay for their health care and their welfare.
I am sorry you are offended because some races want a free meal ticket! I don't get a free meal ticket so why should anyone else?
And sure I will pay more for my veggies! NO PROBLEMO!
Come into the US as a legal and you wont have to rant.
You added this " And for all of you that think I encourage exploitation, I am merely pointing out the fact that you stuff your fat faces with food paid for by the blood of Mexicans, you drink wine around your happy excessive tables made of grapes they suffer to pick, you spray them with poison and then begrudge them access to a doctor, and then you have the gall to complain about them working in your fields"
WHO IN THE H*** DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? These are your words not ours. You sound like a racist to me! Sounds like you need to check in with your doctor and get on some medications to get that anger under control.

Wow, are you scattered in you opinions or what? You know the miners of this country crawl down dark and dangerous holes in the earth everyday to make a living, I don't see them complaining how horrible their fellow citizens are for using the products that they mine. Could it be that they realize they chose the line of work they currently hold? Could it be they understand the consequences of their own actions? The same goes for anyone in a dangerous line of work: firemen, policemen, military, construction workers, etc.
As for fruits and veggies the prices have and are going up and I will continue to buy them.

Most are willing to pay more on the front end for wages and veggies, being it will be off set with the cost of illegal immigration, from educating the ilegal and llegal of the illegals, health care, and anchor babies.

one funny thing........
"willing to pick your own produce? Or pay much more for it because you will have to pay a fair wage"
From the tone of the question, you are FOR exploitation!!!
I am against it, and that is why I for regulated immigration.
and... I happen to like Mexicans very much, thank you
edit: girl you sound like a psyco, and your argument makes no sense. You are just being some kind of a beeatch for no good reason. I'd hate to break it to you, but nobody wants to rape and kill mexicans, you are just a nut

It is not hate to want them to obey the laws of this country. I work at a job illegals were doing. So dont try that old myth that they only do jobs we wont do. Oh and notice were doing because the factory was raided and they were deported.

Most people don't hate Mexicans, they dislike people who break the law. If they just hate illegal immigrants cause they're Mexican, they're bigots.
But, the truth is illegal immigration is hated around the world. Were not just allowed to enter Mexico with out the Mexican Government's Permission, and the Mexicans cant enter the US without our permission. Plus a Mexico itself has an illegal immigration problem with their southern boarder.
