Good point! Yet we can't even get the federal minimum wage past $7.25. Many folks fainted when fast food workers asked for a living wage.
So what are chances of farm jobs or any other job that goes to immigrates, especially those with no papers, paying a wage that an non-immigrant Native born "American" would find enough to do what is truly back breaking working???
If Americans only want to do jobs that pay a living wage then that should be the rallying cry. Not complaining about those who, for whatever reason, have to settle for less. I am sure the immigrant would like more money as well.
Its not by mistake that domestic workers, farm workers, certain resturant workers or others under 50 employees arent covered be the minimum wage act or other similar acts. Those jobs, were in part, were initially done by Black people and the carve out was to keep Black people has staying as close to slave labor as one can get. Black people have moved on, so it's on to the next group.
Lastly, Farmers have tried to unionize and demand better conditions. are any of the "immigrants go home" folks backing that movement so they can replace the immigrants?
