I don’t agree. There are tons of people in Florida who would be capable and willing to do manual labor, provides the wages and working conditions were better than alternatives. The ag economy depends on migrant workers because they are more desperate and therefore easier to exploit, which is more profitable.

Also, the orange shortage specifically is more driven by a deadly disease introduced by global trade than any labor shortage.
