Abstract

California is the leading producer of lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower, and accounts for 36.84 percent of US vegetable production, valued at $10.5 billion. Labor-intensive sectors, such as vegetable production, endure chronic labor shortages. The deportation of undocumented workers will drastically reduce vegetable production in California because domestic workers are unwilling to take field jobs and readily bringing in guest workers is not feasible.
