Treason Season??

[hazard]

Yes Hazard, I understand that it is,
No Matrix, I don't hate them, neither because they are migrants nor because they are "non-white" as you imply there.
My argument where migrant labor is concerned is that there are other people than ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, and by that I mean people who have crossed the border without permission or being checked by the government, that can do the work.

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.

Then if you understand that, do you believe that the labour demand could be filled at a cost the US customer is willing to pay in a legal manner? Do you believe that that demand for temporary hands can be filled at a rate USA born workers will accept so that it's them doing the work? And do you believe that the USA migrant handling systems are capable of handling the amount of migrant labour that needs to be moved around? And I'm not just talking customs and border patrol agents, I also mean the vast administrative system that would be needed to provide the large number of visa, or the inspectors in the plants making use of migrant labour to check if everyone who should have a visum or permanent resident permit does so.

Because if the answer to any of these questions is no, illegal migrant labour is an inevitable factor because otherwise there are chunks of the economy not working due to lack of labour. 

You actually saw this last year when Trump cracked down on migrant labour of any stripe with the Maryland crab fishing industry taking a major hit because everything was ready to go except for the labourers whom were still stuck outside the USA, and barred from entry. It was a massive hit for the industry because everybody still had to pay for all the material and maintenance but there was a substantially smaller amount of money moving into the business buying crab.
