Prove it. Saying a thing doesn't make it so. Tell me, proporationately, exactly how many vegetables are picked by migrant workers working illegally within the US, and then compare that with the total number produced by other, legal, means -including, but not limited to, produce bought from foreign nations and imported or grown and harvested by legal residents.
Also, contrast the amount of clothing sewn by immigrants and sold domestically with that produced by manufacturers, corporations and small buisnesses without the use of immigrants.
Furthermore, once you have done that, I want you to compare the estimated number of illegal immigrants swarming into this nation with the number of immigrants employed in the fashion you cite above.

Come now Ror, no need to be so confrontational here, a little bit of common sense should prevail. You're asking him (her?) for 100% accurate documentation on citizens who are not documented. Farmers, garment makers, and eating establishments look towards this illegal labor primarily BECAUSE it's "off the books," and requires no record keeping, no reporting to the IRS.
Think about the diners and restaurants you go to, the farms you drive by, etc. Economically speaking, the above claim makes sense. More Americans are getting college degrees than ever before, the economy as a whole is moving towards special services and skills, as opposed to manual labor and production.
