Ah... I should point out two things here:

1. If the law of supply and demand kicks in, because illegal aliens are no
longer available to reduce costs and increase profits to the
agricultural-corporations, prices for the consumer will rise, because the
agricorps will not allow their profit margin to fall.

2. If -- once the agricorps manage to convince the public that the rise in
food prices is due to the removal of illegal aliens from the labor market --
illegal aliens again become the standard for agricultural labor, prices will
not go lower; instead, prices will remain about the same, while the
profit-margin for the agricorps increases drastically.

Thus, the only sensible approach is to apply the new
corporate-responsibility laws -- concurrently with application of existing
laws against employing illegal aliens -- against the unscrupulous employers
of illegal aliens. This profiteering on the American people must cease. Our
national security depends on it.

And would anyone care to explain why Priority One of the "homeland security"
agency isn't locking down the borders and ports against illegal aliens?
