The problem of letting them in is they don't always go back when the picking is finished. They go find jobs, painting houses, mowing lawns, then they want to bring their family over and the kids need educating, they don't have a medical plan, mortgage, etc.. Cheaper to pay $15 a pint for strawberries. There are no cheap routes, someone has to pay in the end.

That's right. I don't mind.
As long as they are willing to work for what they get, I don't see the problem. Just because they may be more industrious and content with less pay is no reason not to let them in. I don't mind if my neighbors show these traits, so I don't care if Czechs do.
"They take our jobs" is just an expression of the fear that there could be people out there who are more industrious. It's wrong. What "right" do I have to force people to hire me if they can get better people for lower pay? I am not entitled to my position. It has to be earned. And if there are people who earn it more than I do, it's theirs.
It's just fair. You don't want to hire overpaid people if you can hire better workers for lower pay, do you? It's just two sides of the same coin.
Either you are for freedom and industry or you are for enforced titles and regulations which defy reason. That's my position and I stand by it.
