are being grown in this country. FYI.

I would not mind having labor be expensive if the rights of workers were thereby safeguarded. I do not object to that at all. I very much object to the argument that immigrants are evil and bad and Americans are just dying to take backbreaking, below-1968-minimum-wage work.

If the price increase means the workers are safe, I'm happy to pay it. I already pay it for work done by unionized workers. I simply don't see the point of paying more for something because there's less of it because the workers who used to do the job have been deported, and we have acres of produce sitting around rotting.
