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?

Here in the UK we adhere to something called the 'Posted Workers Directive' which means a farmer can employ foreign workers and legally pay them a lower wage than the minimum wage a UK worker would be entitled to.
That fact tends to be not so well advertised when the media whinges on about UK citizens not willing to do the work. It's he farmers employing foreign,cheaper labour.
