It’s not “rocket science” to figure out that giving amnesty only encourages more illegal entry. And your proposal that illegals here now “go home” and then “come back” is nothing more than amnesty. Reward bad behavior and it will continue. And it is bad behavior to come here illegally and use stolen or fraudulent SS numbers to work. As usual when certain people say the answer is “reform” they mean more amnesty and more foreign workers.

I suggest that Mr Eves chill the overheated rhetoric, read the actual article, and take note of Ms Watkins’ excellent points.

A lot of produce comes from Mexico now anyway. Avocados are mostly imported from there. As far as things like strawberries, lettuces, tomatoes, those can be grown hydroponically in containers. It takes more money to set up but produces bigger yields in the end with less labor. The growers just don’t want to pay the initial startup costs. The costs of picking is only a small fraction of what you pay in the supermarket, the rest being packing, transportation, and markups.

There was a news story this week about the World Health Organization and air pollution. It said: “When the WHO studied data for the smaller and more deadly PM2.5 particulate matter, 14 0f the 15 most polluted cities were in India.”

But listen to any libertarian site and they all offer India as the shining example of what we should all be. Look at how their Gross Domestic Product increases every year, they say. Never mind that it is all due to the fact that their population increases by 30 million people per year, and their GDP per capita, that is per person, is dismal, one of the worst in the world, below many “third world” countries. Polluted, vastly overcrowded, and exceedingly poor, they are the example of what not to be.

In reply to Warren Eves. Thank you, Mr. Eves, for attempting to bring the author into the 21st century. Unfortunately, some people, at the end of their career, are afraid to change their stance even if they know they are dead wrong.
