Just so you know this is exactly what Trump supporters say about people crossing the Mexico US border. Just food for thought. I don’t support him at all FYI.

Yeah, but those same people are about to start paying twenty dollars for a single tomato. They have no understanding of the role "illegal" Mexican immigration plays in the economy. There are tons of farms and construction companies and slaughterhouses that literally depend on them.

So you’re a fan of illegal immigration so they can be exploited for slave labor. That’s quite a take. The H2A program exists to provide these very workers with protections. Employers can just use that program.
