Comment Re:America's food security depends on immigrant la (Score 1) 36
If there are no immigrants working for slave-like wages, food companies will have to do a couple of things. (1) Innovate with technology to rely on less labor. This is called a productivity gain.
All of the low-hanging fruit has been picked there, pun intended. Crops which are easy to machine cultivate are already produced with machine cultivation.
And (2) start paying people a decent/humane wage, and this will attract more workers to this line of work.
The first thing can't happen or they would have done it already, and the second thing is the opposite of their mission.
