People would work Tim Horton's jobs for $30 USD an hour. The vast majority of Americans and Canadians wouldn't do farm work for $30 USD an hour.

  My point was that the TFW program was being abused to bring in workers cheaper than local labour for things the program was not intended for, distorting labour markets (and resulting in the mistreatment of workers).

  then pay $100 an hour and let the market work properly without being distorted by abusive labor practices. Food prices wouldn't even increase, Big Ag would just lose some of their profit margin long term it would lead to tech improvements like robotics to do more of the manual work and everybody's life would improve
