situation. if it becomes even more scarce, it will be tough to do business here. california is dependen on migrant labor. >> the fourth generation thinks he won't be able to final enough workers to harvest his crops. >> outlined by homeland security, the government will prioritize undocumented immigrants charged with crimes, even if the chime are minor twhifl group target may be a small subset of all farm workers, many who work in agriculture are concerned. the american farm worker did a study on the impact of an enforcement only impact. one that focuses on cracking down without expanding programs for guest workers. the group found its agriculture were to lose access to all undocumented workers which would be an extreme scenario. the agricultural output would fall by $30 to $60 billion.

the organization found that as enforcement only approached, would it increase food prices by 5% to 6%. and the study by the national mick producers organization found even a 50% reduction in the deary workers would increase the price of milk by 45%. the foods that could be most affected are ones most dependent on labor for harvesting. they include strawberries, black berries, cherries and asparagus. farmers are worried that the policy will prevent all workers from crossing the border. >> it is a big part of our labor force. there hasn't been a legal way for immigrants to come into the country since the 80s. so a big part of our labor force is undocumented. >> some offer as a solution but not all crops are conducive to

of the work force tomorrow? something we all agree isn't going to happen. >> let's say you took out numbers of $26,000 per year for a person who has, does not have a high school degree. and you apply that by 8 million. that's about 200 billion not going into the economy that can be spent on goods and services and firms having to find replacement workers or spend on automation. absolutely. they will pass the costs on. >> and not just the increase in prices but you're looking at unemployment at 4.8%. that's considered, if you take 8 million undocumented workers out, that's about 5%. where do you find the replacement workers? >> that's a great question.

arguably undocumented workers are not counted in that number. those are the people we actually can't count. but i think businesses would have to find workers but they would have to pay for it. more or less offsetting the gain that they might get otherwise. >> there are some people who say that undocumented workers strain the social services of cities and states in the nation. saying they cost more than they do to produce. >> well, there was a great stoit craw the country. it shows that they don'tly put a long term strain. they like to become jobs and become active members of the society. >> is there a chance we'll see

undocument workers deported, and there by we would see the impact at any rate? >> certainly you could see some people who were going to leave the u.s. i would imagine that many people come to the u.s. looking for better economic opportunities that they could not find in their home country. and they're trying on leave their home country in the pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. >> thank you for your insight. >> a global trade agreement worth $1 trillion took effect today. the first multilateral trade agreement reached under the world trade organization. the aim is to streamline cross border trade. it is at a time when most are under going scrutiny. >> it creates opportunities.
