    I know this may be difficult for you to believe, but there are those who actually like working outside. Now, for what wage is a different discussion.

    Our species is good at adapting. We wouldn’t have made it this far if we weren’t. If those doing the job for a third of the federal minium wage (source needed) were no longer able to, we would be forced to higher citizens for a legal wage (not less than minimum).

    Your comment reads as if you’re in favor or are ok with illegal immigrants being exploited. I certainly hope not.

      Firstly, no one will want to work in a field for minimum wage either lol

      Secondly, they’re not going to replace paid (albeit lowly paid) immigrant workers with highly (relatively-speaking) paid american citizens. They’re going to replace them with unpaid prison slave labor forces
