If we were playing at a flat table, our ideas would square up entirely. Unfortunately, the evil, faceless, amorphous (sarcasm) agribusiness lobby gets things like tariffs and import quotas while simultaneously complaining about "having" to hire illegals.

It's contemporary farm policy, which affects a lot of Washington DC. Think of the average school district, for instance.

Our local news had a segment tonight on a whining peach grower who had just half the "immigrants" as last year to pick his crop. Of course, the interviewer babe never asked him if he had raised his wages to attract more pickers.
