What a bunch of small minded folks in the Ag business! If they can’t piggyback off illegal labor and the corrupt politicians in combination with both corporate and labor welfare & overextended unemployment $$s, they just whine like spoiled children. Where is the innovation and ingenuity??? Illegal Labor is very much like slavery of both the taxpayers and the illegal migrant and the opportunity costs are enormous!

Cheap illegal labor killed it.

Cheap illegal labor means that there's not much of a market for vegetable-harvesting machinery. If we didn't have illegal aliens picking lettuce, we would have robots doing it, thus promoting our robotics industry.
