[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1220741, member: 12570"] If there were not a demand from US consumers for low price produce there would not be a supply of undocumented workers illegally crossing our southern border to work in what most of us would consider intolerable conditions for ridiculously low wages. Americans are too lazy and feel that it is beneath them to do menial manual labor. The area that I live in has many apple orchards. We also have 9-10% unemployment. You would think that this number would go down during the harvest but locals do not want to do the back-breaking work so the orchards have to bring in workers (Jamaicans), house and feed them, all for minimal (not minimum) wage. The kicker is the Jamaicans who are chosen to come here think they have won the lottery-----they earn a year's wages in just a few short months. Are you willing to pay $10 for a head of lettuce?
