Haha, I've thought the same thing about the 'illegal aliens' on whom our food source depends. Fine the corporations $50 per illegal per day and it would end immediately. As would eating, I suspect.
Allow me to point out that, certainly here in California, the overwhelming majority of employers of undocumented aliens are more likely to have names like Miguel, Jorge, Juan or Umberto than anything else. It's the small, immigrant owned one man businesses that exploit the cheap labor pool here, not the big corporations.
Ah, interesting. I'm also in California and I know that the small organic producers have sometimes been hit hard by minimum wage hikes, especially the ones that try to provide year-round work and housing. They have very tight margins.
But I used to be very involved in this issue and there are certainly ways that corporations get around the undocumented immigrant laws, for Latinos, for Muslims working in animal processing plants. Whenever they try to organize, the crackdowns come and suddenly ICE shows up.
You've seen the film 'A Day Without a Mexican,' yes? The entire food system would grind to a halt. I know that without my 'brown guy network,' I'd never get anything done on my house, and half of them are likely 'illegal.' I'm for deporting the corporations from Mexico and seeing how that would change the dynamic.

Great work.
