No pickers means no produce.

If all the immigrant workers get bused back to Mexico who will keep picking the fruit and vegetables that goes onto the shop shelves and on to your dinner table?

What do readers think would be a reasonable hourly wage to get paid for picking fruit if you had to help harvest a crop and get it to market?

I suspect a lot of this round 'em up and deport them is going to be a lot of noise, PR, confusion, upheaval, and grabbing the low-hanging fruit... and it will cost us billions.

Still, it will get the blowhard the publicity he wants, and in the end, that's all that matters to him.

This all could have been so much simpler, so much more humane, and in the end, cost us way less by just having Congress do its job.

@Ontheroad I agree, this is going to be like building the wall. He will pull the low hanging fruit and enact some measures, but most of the bluster was just nonsense campaign talk; he needed a villain.
@Ontheroad The Corporations that employ the most illegals won't be touched. Why don't we start with the illegals that work in Trump Hotels and Golf Courses.
