Absolutely amazing how anyone thinks forced labor, as opposed to free
markets, is the answer to illegal immigration.
I find it hard to believe he really does think it. I think he just enjoys
being absurdly provocative.


If the country needed soldiers badly enough, you'd be fine with
conscription.

False.


If the country's food supply was at risk, you'd have problems
with requiring people to serve the country with a pay scale equal to other
jobs they might get.

The country's food supply is not at risk. Involuntary
servitude is always wrong. We have a constitutional
amendment against it. You could look it up.


So, if we got rid of migrant workers, many of whom are illegals, how would
you propose getting strawberries and lettuce out of the fields and into
trucks? Prayer?

No. Labor, as in the past. Farmers will just have to
pay more for it. Some of that cost they'll pass on to
the consumer, and some of it the farmers will have to
eat. That's how it goes in other industries; no reason
for agriculture to be any different.
