Obviously the price would be much higher for fresh produce.Cannonpointer » 18 minutes ago » wrote: ↑ Bro, if those rich farmers hadda pay murkins, you'd be paying a **** of a lot more at the grocery store.
I've travelled to a lot of countries and bought groceries, and I can tell you that proportionately, they get **** compared to us. In Brazil, food costs about half of what we pay here. But the people only earn about a third - so they're paying more of their income for food. Ya know why? No migrants being paid crap wages. Believe me, meskin labor makes murkins' lives a **** of a lot easier. Your food would be double, I **** you not - maybe triple. Murkins only pay about 10% of their wages in food. Brazilians are double that - and for the bottom tier people, it's more like a quarter of their income, just for food.
Meskin agricultural labor is good for americans and good for meskins. We just need to get em visaed up.
As it is...I get a lot of stuff straight from Mexico.
If prices were to get too high I suppose some folks might be motivated to grow their own...?
Farmers could be asked to forecast their need for legal immigrants and this would give our government some idea about how many work permits to hand out.
I would not be surprised to hear that this isn't already being done.
