And funny story since the only way that this business would be able to adjust and survive is to jack up their prices and become even more factor proof, which makes it less competitive to the international competition.

What is the difference between saying a business model doesn't work and saying that we should get out of that segment?
Actually the best course of action would be for the feds to start increasing the tariffs on produce that is farmed by illegal labor. I don't see how it's much different than the tarrifs on Chinese Tires or other products that are undercutting domestic production by selling at under cost.

Businesses aren't there as feel good employment factories.

Businesses are also not guaranteed profit factories either. It's not like they're implementing some sort of crazy extra expensive regulations here. They're just making them follow the bare minimum level of employment standards that every other industry has to operate by.
If your business can't handle that then it's flawed.
