I really don't get Trump and some of the Republicans jobs for American workers talk when some of them are also against paying workers a living wage.
They want to bring back low skilled manufacturing jobs from overseas and want Americans doing the seasonal farm hand picking/planting jobs that south American immigrants do but they don't want to pay the American citizens who would do those jobs a living wage.
Produce is as cheap as it is specifically because most of the areas use illegal seasonal workers to harvest the crops. No Americans are out there doing that backbreaking labor because they think it's beneath them. So if they actually paid minimum wage for those jobs prices on produce would skyrocket.
Everyone wants to blame the "illegal immigrant" for trying to feed their family yet nobody wants to point the finger at the American using illegal slave labor to increase their profit margins.
