      When the US interned the those with Japanese ancestors during WWII, nobody else stepped in to take over their crops. The result was shortages instead of a change in who did the work.

        Which is what happened much more recently in Florida and Georgia when those states passed draconian immigration bills. Produce was left rotting in the fields because nobody else besides these immigrants are willing to do the job for the wages offered. And nobody is going to pay $20 for a head of lettuce in the grocery store so the farmers can pay fieldworkers white man’s wages.
