Maybe that was the same one, or something similar. Hadn't that proposal been nuked? A whole bunch of "ideas" fill the op-ed pages almost every day, here. Didn't mean it was unique.

Awww. They might have to do it themselves? No point in being rich, then, is there?

So what? I don't live in a mansion so I don't need the country to be overrun with illegal Mexican scabs so that the rich could maintain their mansions.

The cost of labor is only about 10% of the cost of produce. No big hit there. States passing employers of illegals sanctions laws which force scumbag employers to NOT hire illegal Mexican scabs, taking away the jobs magnet that draws illegal Mexican scabs here in the first place, will stop the illegal Mexican invasion COLD. In additon, the 20 million illegals already here, suddenly without jobs, will have to go back to their hell holes. ALL AT LITTLE COST TO THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER. No more billions wasted on fraudulently obtained social services, no more schools ruined, no more overcrowded ERs, etc.

El presidente jorge, Bobama or McShame aren't going to secure to border. But with NO JOBS WAITING FOR THE ILLEGAL MEXICAN SCABS FROM THE SCUMBAG EMPLOYERS OF ILLEGALS, ONLY THE CRIMINAL ILLEGALS WILL CONTINUE BREAKING IN.

Someone's gonna call you on that figure, there.

but if I do, that'll get me branded a 'nit picker'.

So is that why you are not rich? (^:

Er - not being serious here.

Well, the farmer gets about 24 percent of the price of his produce. Of that percentage the farmer's cost of migrant field labor is about one third. That breaks down to about 8 to 10 percent of the price of produce going to migrant field worker labor. Where's a nit picker when you need them?

You're 'nit picking' about the estimated number of illegals in this country? Why?

Indeed, indeed! My goal is to be able to afford to be Republican!

(Conservatism implies you have something worth conserving! )

In the absence of any other info about it, I'll have to go by your figures.

So, if the potential price increases of food is a red herring, must there be some other reason so may people agitate against anti-alien laws?

(I do find it remarkable that the most violently vocal defender of Mexican, women or other minority rights tend to be moderately affluent white males. Very odd phenomenon...)
