Have you met my shadow?
Now consumers will pay more for produce, farmers lose money and will most likely need to lay off workers, stop buying equipment to maintain the farms, the truckers have nothing to deliver, the packaging companies suffer reduced revenues...and it goes on and on.
Legal immigration should be the standard; however the process needs to be more accessible. Which, of course, means bigger government.
Viscious cycle.
What part of "farmers can have an unlimited supply of immigrant farm worker through the H-2A temporary farm workers program" do you not understand?:evil:
Guest Worker Program
The H-2A agricultural guest worker program was passed by Congress in
1986 as part of the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA). Since its
inception, the program has been the primary legal mechanism through which
U.S. employers have hired seasonal agricultural guest workers. To import an
agricultural guest worker under the H-2A program, an employer must first
meet the requirements set forth in statute and corresponding federal
regulations. Similarly, a foreign national seeking to enter the U.S. as an H-2A
guest worker must meet admissibility requirements. Both employer and guest
worker requirements are set forth below.

Cool your jets junior, I referring to the process as a whole, of which I have first hand experience in navigating. I assure you the experience is expensive, inconsistent and not easily accessible.
The market conditions I listed are real and valid.
