Certainly Americans won't do labor intensive, low paying jobs. I believe we will do labor intensive high paying jobs.

So what the industry is saying, in a way, is that at current food prices the jobs are low paying. What is the alternative? To pay union wages for picking strawberries?

Will the consumer pay $10 for a bunch of strawberries that now sells for $4? I doubt it. I think the result is we end up buying the bulk of our food from other countries. The American agri industry would become smaller as a result of the loss of their low paid workers.

I'm not necessarily saying that's a bad thing. But I believe many of those jobs currently held by illegals would simply be off-shored if wages are forced to rise. That is, they wouldn't be replaced by American workers rather they would simply disappear altogether.
