No Shortage Of Farm Workers

Speaking of the supposed shortage of farm workers...

According to a new study from the Center for Immigration Studies, the idea that immigration is needed to prevent a shortage of farm workers is a myth:

For several years stories in the media have reported a farm labor shortage. This study examines this question and finds little evidence to support this conclusion. First, fruit and vegetable production is actually rising. Second, wages for farm workers have not risen dramatically. Third, household expenditure on fresh fruits and vegetables has remain relatively constant, averaging about $1 a day for the past decade.

The study is quite long and very detailed, so if you want more information, go check it out. The bottom line is that this myth is substantiated by the industry to try to keep wages down as low as possible, and by illegal alien advocates.

Oh, and Democrats, who want as many illegal aliens here as possible.

There's my two cents.
