20 plus million illegals in this country and the farmers can't find any farmworkers? How do you explain that? I haven't heard of ICE raiding any farms and arresting any fieldhands. Maybe the farmers could raise their prices to attract back those former illegal aliens fieldhands who moved on to better paying jobs.

What the farmers really want is a steady supply of desperate illegal aliens who will gladly work for the meager wages the farmers want to pay and have become accustomed to paying, and as each and every one of these illegal alien farmworkers eventually slip away into the vast illegal underground, the farmers will want immediate replacement illegal farmworkers.
