Don't large part of some American industries depend on such immigrant labor? I even hear comedians like Bill Maher joke about this all the time saying things like "without illegal immigrants there would be nobody to pick fruit" so it almost seems like an accepted reality of US, at least agriculture industry in border states. Is that no true? I just assumed jokes and lines like that are based on some sort of universally accepted "unofficial" truth, that's what makes them funny.

- rhexs 8y agoIf an industry requires illegal subsidies to thrive, there is no industry. They should naturally go bankrupt. If a nation decides it is important enough to subsidize (i.e. strategic food stock to feed a populace), then they should do so through funding bills instead of hiding the true cost through the lack of immigration enforcement. But the farming lobby is powerful.
