More Mexicans are crossing the border — to leave the US. Here’s one family’s story.

Seriously, are you scared of paying an American minimum wage to pick crops?

 

[JakeStarkey]

Americans will not work for minimum wage in picking crops as the last twenty years have shown, so, yes, the more the immigrant crop labor leaves the higher prices will increase.

But . . . Trump is failing with his deportation plans so far, so we will have to see what happens.

At one time picking fruit was a short term but well paid job until the orchard owners brought in the Mexicans at minimum wage. Picking apples was a fun job and paid well at one time believe it or not

I would think 25 bucks per hour is a fair wage to pick crops.

That's what we have Low Security prisoners and Welfare recipients for - sub-minimum wage employees.

Nope. Pay pickers at least 25 bucks per hour or I hope they rot. Pay up america you cheapos.

If I was a teenager I'd do it for 15 no problem. 25 seems kind of high

The fact is that Mexicans are doing it for a few bucks an hour plus a tomato to eat, this is what Democrats are actually defending
