Yeah but Trump won't take a bunch of dishwashers and busboys. He's talking about people who have a REASON to be here. Even the LA Times admitted that only 4 percent of illegals work in agriculture. FOUR percent! So instead of 11+ million illegals you would have a few hundred thousand applying for guest worker permits and then hopefully return to Mexico when finished.

I say Americans can do it but people swear up and down you can't get enough Americans to pick grapes and lettuce.

Americans have always picked grapes and lettuce. The people who claim you can't get enough Americans to do this work are the illegal employers lying to the media and politicians about American Workers. Even so, there is, has been and always will be the legal temporary agricultural workers program that brings in supervised workers to do this work and they are transported out of here at the end of the season by the employers who bring them in.
