I mean don't we hear over and over about how the cost of U.S. produce would skyrocket if we had to pay U.S. Citizen farm workers a living wage? Mexico is full of those hard-working Mexicans, yet their produce costs more than ours.

Freetraders believe that economy is a zero sum game - the less workers are paid the more affluent the upper class will be. The wages are seen by them as a necessary evil to be reduced to minimum.

Also they do not want to wast limited resources on mechanisation if they can get cheap labor.
