High Cost of Colorado

And right after half of our industries which are dependent on this labor will collapse. Agriculture alone would totally collapse in this country, the food would rot in the fields.

Good. I don't know why you're defending the status quo. Are you pleased that the current industry setup necessitates serf labor from migrants? Do you see any value in living in a nation that actually provides for itself?

I'm not (pleased).

I'm simply saying we can just ban it. Our society is built on it. We need to be realistic. If we're willing to remake our entire agricultural economic system then yes. But that's simply not really an option especially in a free market like the US. It's just not really worth discussing, because it's impossible.
