There are only 2 million unemployed Americans right now. Most of the illegal immigrants have jobs and fill in the gaps, such as working on farms and factories. If the 20 million illegal immigrants are deported, want that create a massive laborer shortage? Won’t the work follow the workers to Mexico?

      I worked in the fields picking tomatoes as a teenager and I went to school with the migrant agra workers children that I would pick the tomatoes with in the summer. There are a few farmers in my family. . What kind of farm? How has finances been the last 10 years? Do you have money to pay two to three times per bushel?
