OK, if corporate food conglomerates claim that illegal immigration

gives them cheap labor so that our food prices can reamain low, why have food prices been going up at astronomical rates at the same time that content of package goods has been reduced? Somebody is making an awful lot of money at the expense of American workers who can't get decent paying jobs because of outsourcing and illegal immigration at home. Who the hell is holding corporations accountable for the windfall profits they are surely making?

1. Tell it to Feinstein

who breathlessly lobbied for extra protections for Big Ag during today's committee hearing. Made me sick!

2. prices are set by supply and demand, not the cost of labor

A corporation sets the price for their goods at whatever the market can bear, given their market share objectives.

Cheap labor justs adds to their profits.

The corporate line that cheap labor=cheap prices is a damn lie.

3. It's not even what the market can bear. It's whatever they want

the market to bear.
