There's farms all over the place here too. It's irrelevant howeverBased anecdotally on the farms in my home town and the ones that I'm super familiar with... It's closer to 40% than 4%.
But what do we know? It's not like anyone in our immediate family is in a farm industry...
But I said, under 4% of illegals work in agriculture. I didn't say anything about the percentage of illegals in some dark butcher shop somewhere.This is the more important figure in your stat. This is what our eyes and experiences are telling us directly.
There may be a huge amount of illegals doing other jobs but they (legal and illegal) make up half or more of some types of farm work.
The premise was, that if illegals stop working our food becomes more expensive, and I think that may be strongly exaggerated. After all, only 4% off illegals work in agriculture. Anecdotal evidence is meaningless. It's perception, it's all it is.
But still a good discussion to have none the less. I can definitly change my position. But if some retard starts with drunk ratings while I am simply stating a statistic from CIS.org, that is when I know discussion is out the window. Some people are preprogrammed with what they see directly in front of them, without gathering context, and the big picture.
