Only 3-4% of illegals work in agriculture: About 3 percent work in agriculture; 33 percent have jobs in service industries; and substantial numbers can be found in construction and related occupations (16 percent) and in production, installation and repair (17 percent). npr.org I know you can post a slanted article talking about economic devastation from the loss of illegal labor, but we can do without illegal labor most places. A few years ago I happened to be in western Colorado and went into a convenience store early one morning and it was filled with local teenagers buying lunch for a day of working on a local ranch or farm. Reminded me of what I did as a high school kid. I was surprised illegals hadn't displaced the high school kids in this place as they have in the county I came from. There may be places like the central valley of CA where there isn't enough local labor to do the farm work, but those are not the norm.
