Liberals talking about $8 apples after mass deportations are lying out of their ass.
NPR ran a story in 2015: the average professional apple picker can pick a dozen 1,000 lbs. boxes of apples a day.
Apples generally weigh about 1/3 of a pound.
The average professional can therefore pick 36,000 apples a shift. The average pay is $250 a day.
This means that the cost of picking one apple is... 6/10ths of a PENNY.
If we TRIPLED that cost--if we paid professional pickers $750 a day to pick apples--it would amount to a price increase of... 1.2 CENTS per apple.
Do you realize this means? For 1.2 cents an apple we could have no "press 1 for English," no run down immigrant neighborhoods, lower housing prices, reduced welfare use, no English as a Second Language programs, and the complete elimination of Mexican drug gangs.
For 1.2 cents an apple--for roughly 4% of the typical cost--we could live in a country where someone without a college degree could spend 90 days picking apples a year and make nearly $70,000, enough money to live a nice lower middle class existence without a college degree, without Human Resources, without Zoom meetings, without any of the bullshit of modern corporate life.
Americans really do not understand just how good life could be. Mass migration is a tax on all of us. We pay for it in lower wages, higher housing costs, more crime, shattered communities, environmental degradation, and bad schools.
It doesn't have to be this way. Cheap third world labor is the most expensive commodity on earth.
The only people who benefit from it are the super wealthy and the crazed psychopaths who run the Democratic Party.
For the rest of us, mass deportations will make our lives infinitely better in virtually every possible way.
