Or, if there is a sky scraper that doesn't get built in Phoenix! Or, if some restaurant owner needs someone to wash dishes! Trust me, our economy will not collapse if I eat out a bit less because the restaurant raised its prices, or if the price of an onion doubles, or if there is one less building in Phoenix! Sure, the price of fruit will go up, but consider this: Governments won't have to support big business with the health care burden. School districts might have a little more money with no illegal kids to educate. We won't have to provide cheap housing for illegals! The REAL cost of cheap labor is much more than most people realize!<br><b>References : </b><br> My God, the world is going to end if we can’t have cheap onions!

Only thing is, he can't find any. "When we advertise, people don't show up, or if they do, they are not qualified," said Bailey, the chief executive officer of Ironco Enterprises. Many employers agree. They complain they are unable to fill vacancies, despite offering pay above current U.S. minimum wage levels of between $5.15 and $7.93 an hour depending on the state. One of them, Texan vegetable grower J. Carnes, found just half the 450 workers he needed to lift onions from the fertile fields around the town of Uvalde in recent weeks, even though he offered pay of $7 to $13 an hour for piece work. "We are doing just about what we can to get the word out ... but U.S.-born workers really don't exist at prices the American farmer can pay," he told Reuters by telephone.<br><b>References : </b><br> Sheridan Bailey is offering workers $20 an hour to raise the steel building frames that are giving the U.S. city of Phoenix a taller skyline.
