I am willing to pay the additional "costs" of good if illegal aliens were no longer poicking fruits and vegetables. I will save it on the other end with lower costs for law enforcement, health costs and educational costs for illegal aliens.
Also, will enjoy driving in less crowded freeways. On the recent "no illegal workday" the L.A. area freeways were a joy to drive...far less congestion (like I used to remember).
My kids ride jumper-hunter class horses. One of them will be leaving for Colorado for a month to do some shows. You may own a lot of horses and that's fine, but I've been around them for a while and horses don't like to jump. You have to teach them to like jumping -- which they can do quite well once they figure out they can do it.

Ok - You didn’t miss any point. (and I did edit that line off the post pdq.) But you sure may not be looking at a very big picture. There’s a hell of a lot more to this country than LA.
I can see where there would certainly be some good (ok - GREAT) repercussions in the LA area. You guys have a mess with them out there, I‘ll agree. I respect your stand. But, it’s not that way everywhere they can be found. Keep in mind too, there’s a hell of a lot more going on with them here (in the US) than picking your fruits and veggies vs. cost of edu and law enforcement.
I’d like to see someone do a study on the effects, based on costs of law enforcement, education, etc. and balance it against the effects on food, housing costs, etc. And, do it across the country. Not just in LA. I know, we wouldn’t “make it up“ with anything around here. I don’t think the majority of the country would either.
Horses don’t like to starve either. Most will jump before they do. Trained or not. Like it or not.
Wish your kid luck in CO, from all of us here!!
Keep them in it. Whether it’s hunter-jumper class or range/cattle work and barrel racing - horses are great for kids of all ages. On that - I think we’ll agree.
