I don't know much of the business side of farming, but too often I feel like using migrant workers is a new form of slavery. Farmers don't want (or legitimately can't afford) to pay minimum wage to a large group of workers. But last time I checked, inconvenience wasn't really a reason to circumvent the law.

I think it'd be nice if they gave locals a chance to work for them before dismissing it as "jobs Americans won't do." It's been decades since they bothered asking any locals if they would do the work, maybe it's time to ask again?
