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, won’t that create a massive laborer shortage? Won’t the work follow the workers to Mexico?
Farmer s have worse margins than most restaurants. Most farmers live season to season. Get large loans to be able to repair their machinery and purchase seed and then after the harvest that money that they make is immediately paid back into that system. If there is a mass deportation of cheap farm labor than most, farmers will not be able to economically afford to pay higher costs for that labor.
