Would you be willing to pay $15.00 for an apple? How about $18.00 for

picked apples? I have.
Yep. I've picked apples, too. Enough to know that the idea that using
American
labor to pick them would cause apples to cost fifteen bucks apiece is
sheer
lunacy, a fictional number with no factual basis whatsoever, invented
for no
purpose other than scaring people into believing the lie that our
economy
would collapse without the cheap labor provided by illegal aliens.

Do the math. You claim an apple picker can easily make $20 an hour.
Now let's
suppose that the picker's wage is only one-fifth of the retail price
of an
apple. That means $100 retail worth of apples picked in an hour, or
(at $15
per apple) one apple every nine minutes.

That's one damned lazy apple picker.

And one damned stupid grower, who's paying that lazy-ass picker three
dollars
_per_apple_.
Problem is, you can't get "'Murricuns" to do the work at any price...

Problem is, that's a commonly-repeated myth, but it's still a myth. That
just
isn't true.

It's a myth only for those who are not in the position of trying to find
workers...

Doug Miller's only contribution to this group is to argue. He does nothing
else. He does not seem to care if he is right or wrong as long as he is
arguing. He has joined the rest of the idiots in my bozo bin.
