They know where the farms are that employ the illegal immigrants, so why not arrest the employers? They're clearly breaking the law. I have sympathy for how hard it must be to run a profitable farm, but if it has to be done with illegal labor, then clearly we're not paying the true price of what the produce should cost.
Hire people who can work here legally. Pay them at least minimum wage. If that means apples cost $20 / lb, then the market can decide if we value apples enough to pay that.
Yes, some farms will close, but if they're only able to be kept open by exploiting vulnerable workers who don't have the legal protections that everyone else does, then they probably should close.
