To expand on the cotton gin example I gave earlier, of the 5 cotton gins in my area, all of which use migrant labor, there are also 10 communities/towns that workers could be hired from either seasonally, or permanently. The gin owners do, in fact, hire there permanent personnel from these towns. Temporary hands for the season could be arranged through a temp agency in advance, but instead they hire migrants because they are cheaper.
Exactly.
Now, what will Trump's wall do to that supply of inexpensive labour?
And what effect will that have on the price of cotton?
