  Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good Agricultural Workers?

  Unfortunately, I understand Kloer's point of view. We cannot afford to go after the Agriculturalists, its quite the Catch-22.

  
  

  By going after these companies, we could trigger a widespread slowdown in production. This is because of three reasons:

  
  

  1. a 10% drop in labor force, since INS would be forced to mandate a mass deportation

  
  

  2. The legal ramifications of convicting these companies could lead to their shutdown, which we cannot afford

  
  

  3. Prices would go up, demand would go up and the lack of labor would cause a need for greater imports which are already reaching all-time highs.
