$5 for an apple and I don't get disenfranchised by imported Democrats, where do I sign?! (Oh, I already did.) In point of fact, the legitimate will of the people is already conventionally expressed by the immigration laws as they exist. Why is it every other contraband issue, like Marijuana, the debate is about whether to change the law, but on this one the debate is on whether to support lawlessness? (answer: Only illegal immigration gives Democrats their slaves back)
And don't say that Americans won't do agricultural work, it's another form of entry level employment for rural youth, like fast food places are for cities. In my agricultural region the cash crop isn't fruits and vegetables, but before I turned 18 and got my first factory job, I cut corn out of beans and vise versa, loaded bails of hay and straw on the hay wagon and into the barn, detassled corn and such things, I also washed dishes and cleaned floors for work/study at college. Most of these jobs were exempted by category from minimum wage laws, but I bet I got more, compensating for inflation, than the illegals are getting as an hourly wage.

Current immigration laws FAVOR applicants from 3rd world countries, except for people who have talents in demand, or, yes, money, thanks to selection quotas from a bill sponsored by Ted Kennedy in the Immigration act of 1965. The exceptions for talent and money are, of course, to benefit US, not to discriminate against the poor and the incompetent. The waiting list for Mexicans is bound to be greater than most of the rest of the world, for geographic reasons, and Canada offers better economic and social opportunities than Mexico, so there is less reason to leave.
