If the farms are hiring people illegally to keep prices low then maybe it's good for that to come to an end. It sucks things will cost more but not paying a living wage and taking advantage of immigrants isn't ok.
Deporting people is also not what I want though so idk
Alabama tried this already and no one would come do the work, so it's not going to have people flocking to pick up these jobs.
Maybe if they increased the wages or improved the working conditions, people would come do the work after all?
Just spitballing, here….
They did, people do not want to work outside doing hard labor for what it should cost. The cost for your food is relatively cheap, because of cheap labor. This idea that farmers are rolling in money is a nice myth, but it's not true, the majority are living year to year trying to survive.
How do they know what it should cost?
