It would probably be worthwhile to look at how JAPAN handles its agricultural labor issue. Japan restricts immigration quite tightly. Notice how food is generally more expensive in Japan than in the US? How much of the disparity is due to US farm subsidies? How much of it is a result of the labor market distortions cauzed by Japan's tight immigration policy? What problems does Japan avoid through such a policy? What problems does it suffer BECAUSE of this policy?
Hopefully the answers point to an answer that can cast some light to this very charged issue in the US
