Funny thing about agriculture when labor goes into short supply machines take over the business.

What use to take 14 people is now handle by one man In about 12 hours.

There has been no economic incentive, with cheap labor, to build machine to pick the melons, the strawberries or the garlic.

With no illegals, you bet your sweet butt there would be a technology increase comparable to the rest of modern agriculture.
