Our food system is not built on the backs of local farmworkers alone - it's built on the backs of poor people around the globe. Mostly in the same countries that immigrant workers left themselves. That's who they are competing with. If food prices don't account for negative externalities of human well-being and climate degradation, and instead we allow arbitrage of labor laws, well the market is always going to be fucked up and exploitive. Just like everything else.
