Farm workers who once crossed the Mexican border routinely for seasonal work in el norte now express deep fears about making the trip, effectively cutting off the supply of labor south of the border.

Meanwhile farmers, increasingly faced with upwards of a 20 percent shortfall in field staffing, often are forced to leave lucrative crops to die on the vine or sell high-priced goods such as strawberries to jam manufacturers at a reduced rate.
Some farms, such as Ocean Mist, are hoping to turn the financial tide by relying on robots and mechanization. Others have elected to grapple with cumbersome H-2A visa program paperwork to temporarily import an international labor force.
The most blunt of agriculture veterans simply say that their futures may involve shifting to less labor-intensive crops, perhaps operating solely out of Mexico-based operations or possibly shuttering their businesses altogether.

The whole reason you form a nation is to have a way to think and act in a mutually productive way.
if you don't want to help why do you vote?

Nothing sociopath in sustainable living. California raises their minimum wage to a high level and poor people outside California have to struggle harder for food. To pretend that the democrats care about the poor is laughable. They are just finding new ways to punish them for their poverty.
