1. Farms grew under the system of rights for farm workers. Farms produced more not less. There's your evidence. You used a hypothesis with no basis in reality, and reality is available to you.
Because demand grew! I could just as easily say that they grew despite the controls and that they would have grown more if not for the union. In other words, we would have had a cheaper price for grapes.
Mexicans are not guaranteed a job on American farms. btw, more than Mexicans worked on farms and got better lives because of CC's work.
No one is guaranteed a job. This does not excuse ignoring their plight.
I wonder why so many Mexicans and others who are farm workers loved CC? I guess that weren't as concerned as you are for others and they aren't as smart as you are, eh?
They just ignored unintended consequences. Most people do this.
2. Prove that more Mexicans worked? I have no idea where you are coming from here. Do you? Is there something implied that I missed? Did you have an issue comprehending this part of my statements: "btw, more than Mexicans worked on farms and got better lives because of CC's work."?
Sorry, I misread. You said more THAN Mexicans. That's great. But look at the people who now lost their jobs because of this. They went from some money to no money. Look at everyday people who had to pay more for food. I don't see a net positive.
3. Higher unemployment of migrant workers? Where in the world do you get this idea? You keep stating things that come across as part of a fabulous big lie.
Higher costs mean higher prices. Higher prices can only come about through decreased production. Look up decreasing marginal utility.
