So they're just coming to save the crops, kind of like "farmers without borders"? And here I thought they were coming to sell drugs or to work in jobs where they earn far in excess of the average annual income of approximately $10000 USD per year they could earn in Mexico.
Jobs Americans are happy to have them do, because they won't work for those wages, but want the cheap produce and products the illegal labour provides. If and when Donny's Wall closes the border like a sealed Mason jar, his 'war on illegal-immigrants' will be exposed as just another old-fashioned labour struggle.

While the price of food and drugs (the imported, illegal sort) go up.

True migrant workers can enter the US on work Visas, and then return to Mexico at the end of the harvest, saving the crops and keeping the price of produce down. That's not what's happening. They are staying, and they are accessing publicly funded services, as well as taking some jobs that Americans would gladly take. I don't think there's been a proper accounting of the benefits and the COSTS of illegal immigration (quite apart from the unacceptable lawlessness of it).

If the employers only hired legal workers the problem would evaporate. But the employers claim they can't get legal workers at wages as low as they want to pay. Apparently the concept of raising prices in step with those wages hasn't occurred them.

It's essentially the same profit-driven race to the bottom that sent the toaster-plants, textile mills and car factories to China, Thailand and Bangladesh to compete on price. When selling to the newly jobless workers who used to weave linen, make toasters and build cars. Since it's hard to off-shore an asparagus farm the folks who employ the migrants, have onshored the workers at their off-shore wage-rates.

Only trouble is the cheap-ass, powerless government preferred by the cheap-ass, powerful food industry wouldn't tolerate anything like regulated temporary-worker programs that could ensure migrant workers went back home. They'd have to finance them. And the more frightened illegals there are in the labour pools, the easier it was, and still is to keep wages depressed.

And they have to keep them low, because, guess what? most American mouths are at the lower end of the 99% and don't have a whole lot to spend. Thanks to those exploitative labour practices. The employers want those workers and need them in that 99% keeping everyone fearful fearful. Until you change that, why wouldn't those Mexicans come north for a better wage? And why wouldn't they stay?

Trump's Wall is doomed to join ineffective follies like Hadrian's Wall, Qin Shi Huang's Great Wall, and Kruschev's Berlin Wall. America doesn't need his Wall. It needs decent Wages For All

As soon as Wynn and her bony ass is eradicated from the Ontario political scene come this June, maybe she can spend her retirement down south fighting for a living minimum wage for illegal workers.
