Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler of New York claimed Thursday that “vegetables would rot in the ground” if illegal immigrants didn’t pick them.

Regardless of source, they have a direct video of him saying it.

    WHat is interesting is we have a visa just for people who want to pick crops. Yet, the companies would rather do it illegally.

      I’ve always been of the opnion that revenue from illegal workers is ill gotten gains and should be seized like drug dealers assets. You start freezing companies bank accounts and seize their money they’ll start to think twice.

        Agreed. I’d rather see the companies held accountable than the immigrants. The immigrants are coming because of the demand. Kill the demand and they’ll stop coming illegally
