Default How Real Americans Can Compete with "Hard Workin" Day Labor

Low wages paid to ag workers are one way to subsidize low food prices.
Think what food would cost if the people who produce, prepare, and serve
it actually got paid living wages.


Low wages paid to ag workers are one way to increase profits. Every
workers not paid a living wage here is available cheaper somewhere
else, driving down wages generally, and increasing corporate profits.
If they paid decent wages instead of hiring illegals, eventually people
would find out about the work and show up. But it won't happen
overnight.There's an obvious reason why illegals are coming in more
and more without control. Because the people that make the decisions
want it that way.

Throw every employer caught hiring illegals in jail, and the problem
will go away. But it isn't going to happen.
