The question is are you willing to pay more than quadruple the price for fruit and veg? We will always need cheap Mexican labor the deal is making it legal and controllable.

It is a complex problem that has been developing over decades so I know there won't be an easy solution. But, that being said, if there is going to be any reform in this area, everyone is going to have to work on the solution.
Consider this, we've been enjoying cheaper prices based on cheaper labor. But what effect has it had on social and health care services? I don't think one can "rob Peter to pay Paul", the economic and social impact of this situation have to balance out somewhere.
