Imigration trouble!

I was just out feeding my cows and listining to PBS. The interview with a tomato farmer talking about illegal immigrant labor made me nuts. acording to him, His $.99 tomatoes would turn into $3.00 - $4.00 $5.00 tomatoes that he would have compete with surounding states for!? Also something about four flats of tomatoes before a local left. How does that make sence? How many lbs of tomatoes can a person powered by a walker pick in a hour? Say 10, they are 1/2 lb tomatoes. That is 20 tomatoes! let's give the old coot $10.00 an hour. That is (as near as my math can speculate) one dollar a pound.
