Trade is good.
But seriously if you have to pay a worker who picks 200 apples an hour $5 more thats $0.025 an apple. I think we can swing it.
Additionally if the illegal worker subsidy handed out to farmers was removed they would start looking toward technology to lower costs. That's good for equipment companies like John Deer who aren't able to compete with sub minimum wage salary work forces.
