Man charged in Tibbetts' death worked at Iowa farm linked to prominent Republican

32. Yup, lots of farms and construction businesses would be SOL.

Prices would skyrocket.

And it's not even that hard to find the workers, I mean, they're damn good workers and good people because it's hard work, but if you simply looked at farms (that grow things that need to be hand picked like strawberries, etc), it would be trivial to find illegals working there. And they would always be there, because it's hard ass work (I know first hand).

VICE did a documentary about this (language warning):

But going at the heart of illegals, going after their work, would hurt the bottom line of the businesses, and they do not want to do that. Instead they go after them at the border, and they chose the weakest people there, because the ones that are at the border have struggled to get through. Most immigrants fly in and stay. The vast majority of them come here legally. They simply stay once they come in.
