America's Farmers Don't Depend on Illegal Immigration
- Agriculture is not a labor-intensive industry, and it has not been for decades. Less than 2 percent of Americans work in agriculture, according to the World Bank. This figure has declined since 1960, when roughly 6 percent of Americans worked on farms. If trends continue, we can expect the number to continue to fall. This is because of the wonders of mechanization: machines now do everything from threshing wheat to milking cows. The bottom line: Most farmers do not "benefit" from cheap illegal labor, since their labor costs are minimal to begin with.
The

has been lying about it the whole time.
BIG SURPRISE
No matter how aggressively they are deported there will always be illegal aliens. An economy that's foundational to our civilization can never collapse, it only adapts to the new circumstances.

What about Japan? How is it relevant to US problem of illegal alien or for that matter agriculture. Did it's agriculture collapse because of illegal immigrants? I didn't get it.

Oh your point is that with high wages Japan's agriculture is still doing well without illegal immigrants. But as far as immigration problem is concerned comparing US with Japan will be like comparing apples with oranges. US will always have illegal immigration problems as long as it's democratic structure remains the same.

there is a lot of farming that is still labor intensive - especially in the smaller farms where mechanization isn't a financial viable option..(scale of operation).
I'm not arguing your point. - I agree with you - it will only improve wages.
(coming from a farming family - I know this generally, not the US agricultural industry)

Not in the US there isn't.
I drove a school bus for five years in the eighties.
when I started the School District that I drove for had six or seven (perhaps more) large 72 passenger buses...they pretty much filled them up.
When I stopped driving only three remained...and they were never more than half full.
Farmers were mechanizing...or using mechanized contractors to do the work that 'hired hands' used to do. They had to leave and go somewhere else...and take their children with them.
in the late eighties..
you reckon the trend has continued?

the thing is, - in farms where it is labor intensive- reduce labor supply = increase in wages
