[quote=deadzone]Strawberry farms are just an example BG. The point is, if the industry can’t survive locally without needing to import foreign workers, then the business is not viable and should not exist.
Makes more sense to import the product rather than import thousands of workers, being subsidized by taxpayers, just for the benefit of a few wealthy land-owners.[/quote]
Agree with this. Unfortunately, NAFTA displaced (there’s that word again!) many Mexican farmers because our subsidized crops were sold into Mexico, putting Mexican farmers, who did not get subsidies, out of business.
That’s one of reasons so many Mexican farm workers are coming to the U.S.
