You wonder why he hadn't thought of this before? Because it's cheaper to hire illegals.

Allow me to repeat what I said in post about the "Needs Of America's Farmers",

Here are the needs of America's farmers, with respect to illegal cheap labor:

  • Some of them need to be paying higher wages, so they can hire Americans.
  • Some of them need to mechanize their operations.
  • Some of them need to switch to less labor-intensive crops, which can be harvested by machine.
  • If some of them still can't make a living farming without importing illegals to harvest their crops, they need to stop farming, and get a job, because their farm is costing them and the nation more than the value of their produce.
  • And finally, some of them need to be fined or jailed.

It costs him $1.50 more per hour than a "local" worker.
